It's official!
He did it, right when I least expected it. It was just the two of us,
at home, but getting ready to head out for some errands. I dropped by
his house to pick him up, but instead of waiting in the driveway (as
originally planned) I went inside.
Jim looked a bit surprised when I walked in, and even a little out of
sorts, but, I'd been pretty crabby the night before so I figured that
was the problem. The only thing on my mind was to put my arms around
him and let him know my crabbiness was not going to continue to
another day. I had no idea what he was about when he suggested I frisk
him. It took me a couple passes before I found the little box tucked
away in his jacket pocket, too, but when I found it, he took it out in
one hand and took my hands in his other. As soon as I spotted the
elegant little rosewood box, my heart jumped into my throat. He had to
let go of my hands to open the box, and I remember covering my face
with my hands then. I know there was a lot of crying (heh, both of us!
wasn't just me!), and I know he went down on one knee. I know he
asked, and I said yes in some form. But it was so emotional I just
can't tell you exactly what was said at this point. I'm still a little
shell shocked 
, I suppose - but definitely in a good way! 
But yes, it's really really official. I'm going to marry Jim Barr on
