The turn of events actually made me forget my obligation to you guys... i apologise.
A lot of things have happened in the past 4 months...
A few weeks after my last post, Mr Z came to visit me and after a very funny and fun filled evening, he brought out a "bling" and proposed! ... on his knees... i was both stunned... (more like flabawhelmed and overghasted) Isnt the natural order supposed to be "dating, then courtship?
I had never heard it this way before oh (and trust me, i know many ways). I just kept staring at him... tears welling in my eyes (isnt this what i always wanted?) i was both happy and scared at the same time.
How long have you been planning this i asked ...?
six months he said- his eyes, shiny and hopeful... and as i looked into them, i knew this were the only pair of eyes i wanted to keep staring at.... for forever
It took me another two weeks to start wearing the ring... the next couple of weeks felt so unreal. I was the happiest person alive. There were so many people to tell and explain to( how do u explain that you are single one minute and then jump several hurdles right to engaged?)
Being the melancholic that i am, i worried and fretted about the course the relationship took.
Even though we had been tight over the four years i had known him i still i worried that it was too fast, even though i have been praying about it for months subsequent to that- i still worried... but Its been three months now. I feel happy, glad and grateful to God. I am now glad i didnt give in to my worry and fear
I feel blessed because while i tossed turned and worried - the one who knew tomorrow had things under control.
We will get married in a peaceful quiet ceremony in August.
I have found my place... I am home!
