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.

Congratulations JE!

That is awesome man. Congratulations. I think it is very normal when you actually find that right person. I think how you are feeling is the way one is suppose to feel to know that it is right. I wish you both the best of luck on your futures.
ReplyDeleteCongrats J.E.H.! If only everyone were so lucky to find love. I can not think of anything more amazing then to see someone in love. I sure hope everything works out beautifully for you and V are very happy together it sure sounds like the real thing from the way you have explained it!
ReplyDeleteI think it's real. It's so real that you can't believe it! I'm happy for you and surely hope one day I can feel this way about a person and not believe it either :) Congrats!!!
ReplyDeleteYes It's supposed to feel that way, like a fairy tale. Until you get married and a few years down the line after you get used to each other then it becomes more normal.
ReplyDeleteQuite frankly, I would be worried about the future of your relationship if you didn't feel this way. Congratulations and best wishes to you and your lucky lady.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations to both of you! That wonderful ecstatic feeling is real, my friend. As one of the other posters said, the feeling does fade over the years. But it is replaced by a much deeper and abiding love.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations! It sounds like you have found the lady of your dreams. I wish you all the happiness in the world.
ReplyDeleteEven got to meet the family already? Wow, that is really cool J.E. It sounds like you have really found the real thing and I hope you two are happy together and it works out just the way you want it to.
ReplyDeleteWay to go....you are setting a good example for the rest of dudes. Especially the ones who have a good woman in their live but is scared of settling down.
ReplyDeleteOh, how romantic! Proposed to on Valentine's Day! Congratulations you two and may you have a long and happy life together. I love stories that have a happy ending!
ReplyDeleteElizabethA
How Cool! I would love to have a guy do that for me! I am just waiting for the right one and I know he will be just as romantic as you are!
ReplyDeleteCaitlyn
Wow. Good for you and congratulations. It's so good to see and hear about true love out there. It makes waiting for the one all worth it. I do belive I do believe.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations! I think it is supposed to feel like that when you have met the right one. Have you set a date yet?
ReplyDeleteIt sounds like you had a dreamy Valentine's weekend! Best wishes to you and your future wife!
ReplyDeleteYou just explained what I hope to some day be lucky enough to experience. I have to admit I am a bit jealous that I've not yet found it but I have patience. None-the-less I am happy that you have found what appears to be your special someone. The best to both of you!
ReplyDeleteThat is such good news for you. I'm really glad that love, true love does happen for other people. Wish you the best in your married life.

ReplyDeleteCongratulation! Sounds like you are one lucky man!
ReplyDeleteCongrats! Did you meet online?
ReplyDeleteHave you set a date yet? You sound like a very romantic guy. Congrats!
ReplyDeleteShe's a pretty lady, JE. Hope you know how lucky you are. You have a ready made family there and that is hard but very rewarding too. Children are precious, treasure every moment with her momma and her.
ReplyDeleteJethro
I am sure she will remember that moment for years to come, girls are such darlings when it comes on to romance. They live for it.
ReplyDeleteThat's awesome. Man, sounds a lot like what I am hoping to find so who knows maybe soon you will hear me sharing my happily ever after story as well!
ReplyDeleteYou would be surprised the way love can bloom for some people. I have had this before and while the most recent did not last I can tell you from many friends that have been married for years, each day just gets better. I am hoping to find my own special one soon.
ReplyDeleteIt sounds like you have found the right lady for you. Congrats! I hope we can all find the kind of love that you have found.
ReplyDeleteCongrats man! You have a lovely lady there. Best of luck in the future!
ReplyDeleteCongrats, I hope when my time comes, it will be just as romantic, cause I am a girlie kind of girl who just loves romance.
ReplyDeleteI would love for a man to propose to me on Valentine's Day. What does the ring look like? Have you set a date? Congratulations!
ReplyDeleteNot sure if my comment went through. I'll try again. I would love to be proposed to on Valentine's Day. Congrats to you and your lady!
ReplyDeleteCongratulations! How did you meet? Was it online?
ReplyDeleteIt sounds to me like you have found the real thing. Sure, the feelings will change as you live together, but it sounds like you are on the right track to have a wonderful life together.
ReplyDeleteTrue love can make anything possible and it seems this day was well needed for you both and its working out very well. Good luck in all and keep us updated of course. Its not many times we hear about things like this.
ReplyDeleteLove is surely in the air this year more than last. A great many of my friends world wide (from our local chat) are getting hitched and two others proposed on the same day as you, its gotta be love fever!
ReplyDeleteI would love like most ladies to have a man to remember this special day let alone propose on it. Very well thought out even if its new, its still a good thing.
ReplyDeleteYes!! It is suppose to feel like that. You are feeling what will for many be nothing more than a dream. Enjoy it and cherish it is the only advice that I would give.
ReplyDeleteWay To Go, JE. Ain't love great. Been out of it for awhile myself but I'm hopin to make a connection on your site. Congrats, man. Hope that feeling never dies.
ReplyDeleteLove is spended but for some like me I am still waiting on that love of a lifetime. I thought I had it last but that just was not the case. Many grats to you for finding your own!
ReplyDeleteThat is very romantic and it seems the ladies always thought men like you were not around anymore. I guess that proves us all wrong here, your lady is very lucky.
ReplyDeleteI would love a date like that even if I have to chip in and pay for my own half, just sharing an evening like that would be awesome.
