Found Love, Lost Closet Space

I am 41 and have never been married and this is what I really want. November 10 is the BIG DAY for us. I can't wait it just seems like we are more and more in love each day.

I've just never met anyone I had so much in common with. We have the same dry sense of humor, and sarcastic, too. Both of our families are like that. It's fun doing things with them. I went with her family on a big annual camping trip. It is just so comfortable. It felt right. We both have strong family ties.

She and her sister-in-law have birthdays within three days of each other. Her brother and I took them out to a steak house for their birthdays. They all expected me to do it then. I had the ring, but I didn't want to interfere in that celebration. Actually, the next day, out on the deck, I gave her a card and dropped to one knee. And she said yes.

It's interesting how many times we say the same things or are thinking the same things. We just have a similar outlook on life.

She has moved in now. And I have no more closet space. There are so many more things in the house now. She's been steadily putting stuff up. I used to have empty closets, now they're overstuffed. I am amazed at how many more items there are in the house now.

I'm just not going to think about how much that stuff probably cost. You can't put a price tag on happiness. This is what I want.
