Engagement
Tuesday was our second anniversary. We went back to the place where I found him. The theater was closed, but he got out of the car and hopped up to it through the rain to look in through the dark windows. He turned and waved his arm, motioning for me to come too.
We hung out there on the sidewalk where we first talked about the coolest things, giving each other kisses as the rain poured down, falling outside the awning giving us shelter. Then he pulled the ring out of his shirt pocket and asked me to marry him. Of course! I said and threw my arms around his neck. And that is how it happened– it is happening!
It feels wonderful to belong to somebody. To love so deeply and to be loved in return. I have found my opposite, my one true love, no holds barred, who walks with me into the deep. I feel lucky, grateful, solid. As the shock recedes the emotions swell… I am amazed. It is happening to me!
