He Asked ♥ She said Yes!!!

Yesterday (May 6, 2011) was, without question, the best day of my life.  Glenn was working as usual and I was at home posting away on Facebook, checking out this thing and that.  At lunch I got a post on my page from him.  I thought nothing of it as we always post songs to each other and we had just found that particular song the night before.  I really thought he was just reminding me of it as we are composing a list of songs that we will burn onto CD's for our favors...turns out that was far from the case.  When he posted the song, Marry Me by Train I didn't notice the question marks at first.  I replied with a simple, "yep, this definitely needs to go on the list...so glad we found it last night!"  He must have gotten a little worried and he posted So?????? in the comments.  I, still not getting it, replied with a So????? What????  I had NO CLUE what he was getting at.  Once again, I responded..."I LOVE IT! And yes we need to add it!!!????"  Then in a msg we had going on privately after he returned from lunch, I asked him, "Why are you asking me so???"  He replied, "Look at the title."  It took me a moment, (though I will swear to you, I am a smart woman, an educated woman, and am not usually so dense) but then it hit me.  It hit me with full force.  He was actually asking me to marry him right there on my page for the whole world to see.  Sad thing was he wasn't even on Facebook anymore for me to give him the answer so as I am freaking out, I am also dying for him to come back online so I can respond.  My friends are all going crazy, so happy and excited, enjoying watching it all play out right in front of them and they are just as ready for me to give that answer as I am.  When he came back, I made him wait, but only very briefly as I was about to bust...then finally I posted my answer...

Mr. Chrisner, I will marry you! ASBO-freaking-LUTELY!!!! A million billion thousand times YES, I will...you are the love of my life.&.I have been waiting to say that YES for 25 years. YES BABY!!! Yes, I will!!!!

I have dreamed that dream a thousand times in my head all these years.  I was always too afraid to express it, thinking that, like a wish, if you tell anyone it won't come true.  The very first time I saw that man, well, that was it for me.  From that moment, like most young girls, I dreamed of one day being his wife.  OF course, I had no way of knowing then it would take 25 years for us to get to that point, but we did...here we are.  He ASKED and I said YES!!!  I had to sit by myself for a little while last night.  So many emotions were running through me, so many years of emotion had come up from the depths and crashed into my heart.  I cried.  I couldn't help it.  I remembered that girl I was and all the years we were tormented by being apart.  I remembered the day he got married and I thought I was going to die.  Then I smiled because this time he is marrying the right girl, the girl even he says he should have married all those years ago.  This time, we aren't kids.  This time, nothing can separate us.  This time, is our time.  He asked and the dream of dreams came true.  I am such a very lucky woman.
