Wow!!

I have to say that I've been away for a few days taking care of some things with the fam and coming back to all of these comments congratulating me on my engagement where just fantastic and really, really cool.

To everyone who's left a comment, I really do thank you from the bottom of my heart very sincerely. Thats honest.

And on another note, a friend of mine read the blog before this one, and then called me up to offer her advice: "Don't SCREW this up, man!"

LOL.

Thanks again, to all of you who have wished nothing but the best for me and my lady. Thank you.

Is it Supposed to Feel Like This?

I find myself writing this the day after Valentine's Day because not only do I wanna share a bit of good news about what's going on in my life, but because I also kind of have a question that I'd like to ask.

The beautiful, smiling lady you see in the picture to your left is my future wife-in-training, V. She decided that she wanted to fly down and see me on V-Day weekend, so we pretty made sure that it happened in that order.

I proposed to her, and she accepted my proposal- so we basically spent yesterday doing couple's routines, plus she got to meet my mom and a few of my family members. They all hit it off great, and since she's the newest addition to the family, my mom is hosting a dinner for her later on this evening- so we've gotta put in an appearance over.

Generally, last evening was really nice. I took her to dinner at a steak house (Folk's Folly- great ribeye steaks, just in case you're wondering) and from there, we left and came back to our hotel room because (and I think you can agree with me on this) having dinner at 10 p.m., is quite the late dinner.

I found myself waking up this morning and I still can't quite get my head around the fact that I asked this beautiful woman to marry me and that she said yes- that she actually WANTS to have me in her life in such a significant way.

So my question is this: Is the happiness that I'm feeling right now as I sit and write this blog all while looking at my wife still asleep in the bed, is this normal? I've never been this happy or elated over anything in my life. I find it really overwhelming and yet- I'm ecstatic about it.
