A very long engagement

So yesterday, David called. He said he had a suit on, a haircut, and a cheap ring in his pocket and he couldn't wait 5 more days to ask me to be his wife. That I was the best woman he's ever known, or ever would, and that he didn't want to live this life if I wasn't in it. I think I finally realized that we love each other a lot, and that we might actually be able to make this work, despite being apart for a whole year. It took awhile, and it wasn't expected, but I guess we're getting married. That's all I know, not when or where or how, just that eventually, it's happening. It's been a weird week in New Orleans and Baton Rouge, but it ended on a pretty good note.
