Life is full of hard choices. Sometimes the smallest, most insignificant things can be dreadful to pick between. Pancakes or waffles? This shirt or that one? Name brand or generic? It is amazing that we can obsess so completely over these things that ultimately don't matter. But I digress. Every now and then, you have a choice that is so monumental it will shape the rest of your life, and it's actually made easily.
Long story short (too late) I asked Laura to marry me this past Friday, and it was one of the easiest decisions i've ever made. Of course she accepted, and her family couldn't be happier, unless maybe i was making six figures a year (i'm not). We've already chosen a date (again an easy choice) which you will find at the heading of this blog. So, in a little less than a year and a half from now, Laura and I will tie the knot.
Only three days into this thing and she's already got a binder full of clippings from bridal magazines, has picked her colors, and has chuckled over the fact that her initials will be lbs. I've suggested that she get familiar with the pound sign (which i can't remember the type code for) so she can initial things more quickly. I just know that any day now i'm going to find a piece of wide-ruled notebook paper with various signature options signed across it. Laura Smyer. Laura Jennifer Smyer. Laura Braune Smyer. That last one doesn't sound Germanic at all, does it?
And finally, NO, she's not pregnant. We'll give that one a few years. That way I can be almost sixty by the time he/she graduates.
Much love!
