Favorite Memory

Just months into their relationship, Michelle dragging Paul to the set of the TODAY show at 5am to see Matt Lauer and Al Roker.  Despite his kicking and screaming all the way there, Paul stood in the cold with Michelle to help fulfill her longing to stand outside at the set of the show.  They had no idea what or who would be on the show that day and, at 7am, Al Roker announced what a very special day it would be just as the new Rockefeller Christmas tree came rolling in on a flatbead truck.  Michelle and Paul spent almost the entire day mesmorized by the process of getting such a gigantic tree off of a truck and prepped for the plaza.  If Michelle could have hand picked the show herself, this would be the very show she would have chosen.
