We're getting married!

We were set up on a blind date by a mutual friend, Sharon. Both of us feeling somewhat apprehensive we agreed to meet for coffee. It was fate! After a longer than average coffee date I agreed to meet Paul for a dinner date. From then on we both knew this was the person we would eventually choose to spend the rest of our lives with!

We had a ring picked out and were expecting it to take several months to be made. While enjoying a quiet evening at home with the dogs (also note-worthy that I was quite sick) Paul snuck into the living room with his hand behind his back. He said he loved me even when I was crabby and sick and then proposed with "even in healthy times or sick times I want to be with you forever...will you marry me?" I managed to squeak out a "yes" and there were a few happy tears as I called my mom and a couple close friends to tell them the news!
