Well, some of you have heard already, but (not following up on MP at all) Karen and I got engaged on Friday night. Since it sounds so much better when she says it, here's how she describes it:
On Friday night Peter drove down to my place. I made dinner, and then we watched Cyrano de Bergerac (in which, for the uninformed, Cyrano writes beautiful love letters to a girl he thinks is unattainable, and she falls in love). At the end of the movie, Peter pulled out a beautifully-composed love letter of his own and read it to me. Then he brought out the ring that he had kept for all this time and ask me if I'd marry him. Needless to say, I said "yes!" It was just about the most romantic thing I can think of.
The end.
Soooooooooooooooooooooo yep, that's how it went! This has been an amazing wild ride for us, a big surprise out of the blue, but it feels like God has really set things up to come out this way and we can only be extremely grateful. I love her more than ever, and I can only keep praying to be guided to follow God's will.
Details of where and when are yet to follow.
