Yes, you read that right. Yesterday, I proposed to my girlfriend and she said "yes"! I asked her father's permission a few days ago while they are here visiting. So, yesterday, I bought a very nice flower arrangemente and took her to a nice little place downtown with a balcony. While we waited for our order to come, I popped the big question. She responded with an emphatic "yes" and a huge smile. I was giddy with excitement. We set the date right then and there; December 13th at her parent's church in West Virginia. Jennifer will fly home on the 4th of November to start making preparations. Her parents seem to be pleased and my parents are practically ecstatic. I suppose they have good reason. I'm 34 and never married. It's about time! When my mother stepped out of the church last night to call my Granny, my dad stood up and announced it to the whole church. It's really quite funny. My dad is calling everyone. I just found out that some people know way down in Central Florida. Who knows how word got out that fast?
I'm including a picture of the lovely Jennifer below. She is the one on the right.
