Yesterday, Himself (aka Tony) got down on bended knee & proposed marriage to me. We’ve been together for 5 years now (living together for 3) and have been discussing it for some time. This is a second marriage for him & a third marriage for me, so we’ve been discussing it & deciding if we’re ready to go that route again. We are. Oh, and in case it’s not obvious, I said yes. 😃 We’re looking at either Fall 2007 or Spring 2008; there are a couple factors we’re weighing (not the least of which is financial) but we’ll narrow it down soon. I’m VERY happy, and wanted to share my joy with the SMDB. Yay! \ ---
