Ever since

a) Do you remember the proposition I made last week?
Yes, I've been thinking about it ever since.

Will 'ever since' be appropriate here to mean he's thinking about the proposal since the week he was told about it?

b) Nothing could be more exciting than to become an astronaut.
What could be more exciting than becoming an astronaut?

Are they right?
