The Dog Walker is Engaged!!!

Wow! It has been quite a week.

Last Sunday, the Dog Walker spent the afternoon and evening with Cat Lover and her family. He had a very important mission in mind; he wanted to ask her dad if he could propose marriage. It was difficult for him to find a time when they could be alone, so he finally just whispered the question and Cat Lover's dad was all smiles and gave a big "YES!"

So this past week, Dog Walker has been planning the proposal. He had originally planned to ask her at his birthday party, but when she came over today, we heard that she already knew about his intentions. Rather than let her suffer for the next couple of weeks wondering when he might pop the question, he decided to do it today at our family party. He and I even practiced a few times in the office before he did it for real.

As soon as my sweetie called everyone together, the Dog Walker glanced around nervously, but didn't say anything so I suggested to all that he had something he wanted to say. That prompted him to get down on one knee and he told his sweetheart he loved her and asked her if she would marry him and spend the rest of eternity with him.

She promptly responded with a big "YES!" and kiss. We all applauded and cheered and then they posed for a few pictures. They are talking about March as a potential wedding day. I'm so glad we have more than 2 weeks to plan this wedding.

I'm also glad the Dog Walker finally found someone who makes him happy.
