Like everyone else, I am tickled at this turn of events and absolutely thrilled and happy for you MCE! Goes to show that it's true that love will find us when we are ready for it and even when we least expect it. Your heart must be so full of wonder and excitement that just thinking of it makes me smile. Thank you for sharing this wonderful news, we all needed to be reminded that in spite of everything, life is good and full of surprises still.

I wish you both many years of happiness, love and joy together!
