It’s already that time of year that seems as though the holidays are right around the corner. Catalogs are being sent to my home filled with holiday cheer and it is just a matter of weeks before we experience the real rush of the season. I’ve already seen the first commercial for The Radio City Christmas Spectacular…
For those of you who haven’t ever been, Rockefeller Center encompasses a total of 19 buildings between 48th and 51st Streets from Fifth to Sixth Avenue in New York City. Radio City Music Hall is at the heart of Rockefeller Center, and although it’s a major New York landmark, this isn’t the real reason that Rockefeller Center has created such meaning to my life.
For this Rockefeller Center, and so much more, I heart you.

Oh that is so awesome! I too am a former dancer (apache belles in college). I wanted to audition for rockette as well and never did. I love watching those ladies dance every year. I did get to tour their studio and got all giddy when I took pics with real live rockettes!!!
What an amazing history rockefeller has for you guys!!
Kris says

What a fantastic proposal. I just love that and I love your Rockettes story!! I used to travel to NYC for business every month or so and I was MADLY in love with Rockefeller Center. I saw the Rockettes Christmas Spectacular with some colleagues one year and it's one of my favorite holiday memories of all times. I can't wait to take The Princess there!
Holly says

Clueless_Mama says
Ya'll look so sweet and happy together. Of course that was a pretty special day for you both. I am so envious of people that live by NYC. I have never even had the opportunity to visit there. I will one day though. Hey, good job on following your dream! It is always worth it to try.
Drama queens mum (Kimberly) says
That's so cool that you auditioned to be a rockette & your hubby proposed there.

Awww… SO SWEET! I get to see Rockefeller Center every day and LOVE it – especially during the holidays. Congrats on at least going after your dream – a lot of people can never say that! Big hugs! :o)
Helene says
You definitely do have some very special memories of that place!! We've never been to NYC but we're hoping to make it someday, around Christmas time. I've heard it's beautiful there at that time of year with all the decorations!

The Rockerfeller center at Christmas is my first and lasting memory of NY. Thanks for jogging it! Keep going for your dreams – I really believe in that as my two marriages, five children and last 4 countries have testified. Now for a change of career! No regrets. Carpe diem!
Smart Mouth Broad says
You're adorable! I love all of NYC! Thanks for sharing it with us.

We got engaged on Gapston Bridge in Central Park! We saw someone getting engaged the same day at the skating rink. Maybe it was you.

What a sweet post, Heather! Now this is one thing we do NOT have in common. I can't dance. At. All. 😉
My husband went to New York last fall to see the Yankees play one of their last games in Yankee Stadium. I couldn't go because I was too prego. I've never been to NY, but it's a dream I intend to chase sooner rather than later.
Beth says
This makes me miss New York so much! I lived there years ago, and I would love to come back and visit with my family. Lots of happy memories of Rockefeller Center. There really is no place like New York City during the holidays. Cheers!
