We're engaged!

I proposed to Laura (Solace) the night of October 11th. It was the last night I had the key to my house before it was sold the next day. Because that house was special to me, since I spent 30 years of my life there, it was sad to let it go. Laura and I we're the ones that renovated that house to make it feel more like a home than it has in a long time. I also told her I loved her for the first time in the living room a year earlier.

I only thought it was appropriate to leave that chapter of my life with one final great memory in that house. The whole house was empty, just 30 years of memories floating around in my head. I dropped to one knee in the echoing living room where I told Laura I loved her a year earlier, and asked her to marry me!

It sounds easy when I type it but there were alot of tears and drooling as I said the words. As Laura started crying as well I think I heard the words "yes" but I had to ask again just to confirm. She said YES!

This was a great new way to start my new chapter in life with Laura.
