My boyfriend, Erick Ketcham, asked me to marry him last weekend...and he gave me this lovely ring last night...(screams)
I can't believe how lucky I am to have found my soulmate...in all of my past relationships, something always was missing, and I thought that it was how it was supposed to be. I actually thought there was no such thing as "having it all" in a relationship, and that there was no such thing as a "soulmate" or a relationship that truly, completely *clicks*. I thought these things were the stuff of which fantasy and romance books were made of.
I have been married before...and the truth is, I married my ex-husband knowing that there was something missing. I truly thought I couldn't do any better. I left him six years later, and we were divorced after being separated for 3 years. *sigh* Oh well...one of life's lessons that I needed to learn during my lifetime, I guess.
This time...for the first time in my life, I have found my literal match. Erick is my equal intellectually, physically, emotionally and spiritually. We keep discovering how much we have in common...we're not EXACTLY the same (that would be boring), but we are definitely similar and what differences there are are slight & superficial enough to make life a little more interesting.
I'M ENGAGED!! (does a little dance) I'M ENGAGED!!
