A Little Thing Called Love

When I was a little girl, I, like many other little girls at the time, played house and pretended to be married. All grown up, I never thought I would marry; I simply never thought I would find him out there. It's not like I was picky or anything, but I knew that if it ever were to happen I would just feel it. Wow, was I right! After meeting this man for the first time I must have looked like I had radiation poisoning I was glowing so brightly! I was so excited and energized that I ran (more like broke into) my best friend's place and woke her up to explain everything that had happened. I had never felt so blown away by one man and was never ever so excited when he asked me to go on another date with him.
Today, I had my first college Shakespear class and in it we were discussing the type of relationship Macbeth and his wife had throughout the play. This was when our professor noted that relationships are quite different today than they were centuries ago. Today, she explained, you hope to marry not only someone you love, but also your best friend. And as I heard this, I couldn't help but smile and blush because I was asked to marry a man who is not only someone I cherish and love so dearly but who is also my best friend.
Jim Droste proposed to me this past New Year's Eve in the park near the river while on a walking route we take often... and every part of me said 'yes'!!! I simply can't imagine being with anyone else but him. :) (*Smiling*) I cannot think of a time that I have been happier!
