It's Official

It's official.

As of Friday night, late, under a full moon, with the scent of lilacs and other sweet things wafting through the air, near a gently chuckling brook while on bended knee, Strider proposed.*

The proposal was obviously accepted, and the happy couple are engaged.=)

School's out, homework's done, Real Life begins, and we haven't seen our girl so relaxed and happy in several years. Even as we are 'losing' her, we have the old HG back. He makes her very, very happy. We understand she does the same for him.=) (He calls his mother and I the Conspirators).

They are like the missing pieces to one another's puzzle, and it's a giddily happy group of people here amongst the two families.

*This is pretty much exactly what happened, but the HG objects to my phraseology as sappy and purple prose. Nevertheless, she permitted me to leave it in there. Pin It
