Eighteen months ago today, Sibylle and I were introduced through eHarmony. We have travelled a huge distance in that relatively short period of time, and yet we have only just started our journey together. In September I asked her if she would marry me, and to my delight, she said yes.

Two weeks ago, while traveling to Manhattan for a day of teaching, we purchased the rings we both wanted. Sibylle’s needed to be ordered in order to get her size, so she has been wearing a loaner with a sizer attached since then. Just a few minutes ago the store called to let me know that her ring had arrived and could be picked up at any time. Sibylle is on her way to Manhattan today to teach, and so I immediately called her to give her the good news. Her response was to tell me that she had increased the setting on the cruise control from 72 to 77 miles per hour.

Live is very good.
