Spoken For

It's been so long since I wrote on here, it's probably time to update my blog status.  You see, I am no longer just a girlfriend, I am now a fiance!  Yup.  We are getting hitched and as much as I knew a proposal was looming somewhere in the distance, I can't believe it's real. I'm glad there is a sparkly ring on my finger to prove it to myself.

I once heard someone talking about their engagement and I remember the very vivid feeling of terror and anxiety.  I mean, you are committing to spend your WHOLE life with someone.  Forever, every day, every bad mood, every arthritic joint, every ailment.  But when I met Mark, I knew almost immediately that we had something that very few people even know exist.  We have a love that I still can't believe I found.  It's the best feeling in the world and now I look forward to all the bad days and the hip replacements and the wrinkles.
