My fiancee, finally, after six long years, will be joining me here in ten days now!!!
While I obviously am extremely optimistic I must admit sometimes it seems almost like an arranged marriage arranged by ourselves -- most people go through gently escalating stages of spending ever more time together, becoming ever more entwined until, I imagine, the decision to get married at last is just a formality. In six years however we've spent two or three weeks in physical proximity -- I had asked her to marry me on the fourth day we spent together. I think we're both well aware that there's an endless amount of little things we don't know about each other that would only be figured out in person, but it's all a huge gambit, a wager, a leap of faith, that the big things we have in common, intelligent-competence-tempered-by-whimsy, a boldness for adventure and doing the right thing, and most of all empathy and kindness, will carry us through while we sort out all the little incidental things (:
