Remember that feeling I described? That one where love feels akin to those first few sips of wine?
I felt it this weekend all around me. That love affair for Maine. And sharing it with M.
A much needed mental time-out.
Where nothing much mattered except the sun glinting off the lake, a book in one hand, and the other in M’s.
The feeling of home. Him. Where I’m meant to be.
And then, when I didn’t think I could feel it much stronger, a moment happened.
In the water, arms wrapped around each other, my face cradled in M’s neck. He asked me something.
He said it was very important. And he wanted to know.
M: ‘If I asked you to marry me, what would you say?’
Me: ‘I would say yes.’
And in that moment, the world melted away and nothing much mattered except M. And me.
Where we’re meant to be.
In five days, we move in together.
In 18 days, we pass one year since meeting for the very first time.
The rest, as they say, is history.
**UPDATE: No, we are not engaged (yet). Sorry for the false alarm 😉 Re-readig that (and a few comments and IMs etc) made me realize it could totally be interpreted that way!
Determined. To Be... 
I feel like I’m just on repeat – but I am so incredibly happy for you!
Aww, thanks friend. I can see your grin from here 🙂
So wait, are you freaking engaged?????????
I just re-read my post and it does sort of read that way, doesn’t it? No, we are not….but the door’s wide open 🙂
Way to give me a heart attack (in a good way) on a Monday!
hey, I try 😉
Sounds like it’s only a matter of time!
🙂 It may be…time will tell, right?
Tingles!! LOVE LOVE LOVE.
I thought you might like it…especially since I told you this last night instead of saving it for the blog post (figured your reaction would be just as sweet either way!) 🙂
Oh Great now I’m all crying at my desk. Ok, just tearing up. But still. We have been in this step for step from the beginning:)
aww! Friend! So cute 🙂 I love that we are mirroring each other in many ways in our own relationship journeys. So awesome 🙂
That question totally took my breath away. Like WHOA.
So excited and happy for you!!!!!

Officially engaged or not, you guys have it… The real deal! So happy for you!
Aww 🙂 Thanks friend! XOXO
That question alone is a huge step! You two are definitely forming a life together…and it’s beautiful!
It is! You are so right on that 🙂 Thank you!
It could, totally, be interpreted that way – you tease!

I was teasing and not even intentionally! 🙂
