she is the mostest beautiful. more pretty than nyc any day. i love my jill soooo much. i remarked the other day, "i love this girl so much that i'd even buy ice cream full price for her."

everything changes in an instant

"are you kidding me?" was the response that i was looking for. she was very surprised and elated. "will you marry me?" "will you see the world with me?" "will you spend the rest of your life with me?" calls to parents and time spent crying. oh, glorious. ewen quoted a book the other day, saying, "romantic love is a trapdoor to a lifetime of sacrifice." well, here we go.

now the little questions begin...pick a date, find a place for a reception, what kind of cake do we want, etc, etc, etc, etc, etc. and etc. but it will be oh, so good.

this site will take the shape of a "how to poorly plan a wedding in six short months." an adventure, life is.

i woke up in the middle of the night with the united live song, "shine for you,"in my head: "look across the world / and let us shine for you, Lord / the whole world is yours / and I want to live for you, O God." that pretty much sums it up. here we are, for You.

8:12 on the morn of life's changing

Today it is ripe. She is mine and I am hers. I will put a ring on her finger. Scary. Beautiful. Faith. Hopefully she will be surprised. Hopefully I will not stutter.

Damien Rice serenades my musings...getting me in the mood, I suppose, though I have about 14 hours before the actual engagement...engaging...question asking...proposal. It's a proposal.

Exciting. Still scary. God help us.
