Oh!!! Oh Blueroses, that is just the BEST story ever!!! CONGRATS TO YOU AND YOUR FIANCE!!!!!

I also followed your other thread, and it''s just such a wonderful thing to see this outcome -- I too cried when I read your post!!

OH MY!!! I JUST DON"T CHECK LIW OFTEN ENOUGH!!! This is just the BEST news!!!!

[Fancy605]

Oh, blue, I thought of you today. My BF picked up some things for me at the store that I asked for, and when he came to bring them to me, he handed me a sharpie mini. He said it was an impulse buy because I like using sharpies to make things, and he thought it was a cool color---but for a second there my heart skipped a few beats.

Oh WOW! I was a three minute refresher but never got the post. Had to run out of the office and became deathbed ill until last night. So, back in the office today, crying, gushing, smiling like an idiot, clapping, grabbing another tissue, trying not to cry cause I'm at my desk, but nonetheless, sobbing and grinning some more. Trying to convey what hasn't already been said. Only one thing comes to mind...

CONGRATULATIONS 'A&B'

 

[princessv]

You guys are simply amazing.....This is like--almost 100 people, none of whom I''ve ever met IRL coming on here to share this experience (in big grins and tears even!!!!) and it''s just overwhelming and awesome. You guys rule

Thank you for all of the support--it was so cool to see big congrats and kudos and OH MY GODS from old school LIW pals and new PS buddies and everything in between--this makes it all the sweeter!!! I love the little pics and graphics too--those poodles looking at the moon...Sam and Diane??! (How appropriate!!) Flying Wilbur!! And no, I''m not a Bostonian, but the description of the "shaaahpie" story made me laugh HARD.

THANK YOU SO MUCH, my friends.

 

[blueroses]

[blueroses]

[jcrow]

[jcrow]

[blueroses]

Thanks Kimberly!!

 

[Julian]

Wow, you should post those in the SMTR folder!

They are the most beautiful rings because they''re made with the purest material of all... love.

CONGRATULATIONS! You look so happy together. What a beautiful couple!

 

[MelissaSue]

supercute pictures Blueroses!!!! You BOTH look so happy.

 

[HOUMedGal]

Ahhhh sooooo cute!!! hehehehe! Thanks for sharing the pics, Blue!

It''s so cute the way he''s looking at you when you''re on the phone....he looks really happy and proud.

Congrats again, sweetie! I wish you two all the happiness the world can offer.

 

[IrishAngel7982]

Blue~
Those pictures are adorable! I''m a private kinda girl when it comes to certain things but I really hope someone''s prepped to take pictures as it happens for me. I want memories like yours! LOVE THE PICS!!!!!

 

[kanne]

BLUEROSES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

woohooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!!!!

I want to say that I KNEW IT I KNEW IT, but really all I knew was that you were doing the best thing for you - and I really really REALLY HOPED that it would all end up like this. I went through something similar with my hubs and I know that it took all of your strength to get to this wonderfu place (for both of you). How great that you can now start off a whole new relationship as two people who know what they want and who truly appreciate and love one another.

All I can think of is....
"I gave her my heart, she gave me a pen" (Say Anything)

you are fabulous and congratulations to you both. Our little hobbit is OFF THE LIST!

lots of love-
lovey

 

[Mandarine]

I love the pictures!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Congrats again!!!!

How IN LOVE DOES HE LOOK WHILE YOU WERE ON THE PHONE!!!!??? He looks like he was ready to put the phone down and just carry you away!!!!! hehehe

M~

 

[anchor31]

You are such a handsome couple and OMG SO IN LOVE!!! It''s so amazing... Your story makes me so happy!!

 

[fisherofmengirly]

Oh goodness, he doesn''t look the tiniest bit of scared. YAY! He looks crazy, mad in love. What a wonderful thing! He''ll get through whatever scared feeling he had, has, or may later have, with you by his side. I think this is exactly what dreams are made of: Overcoming the crap that tries to hold us back, only to be more happy and over the moon excited about life than ever before.

I am so proud of him for knowing what can be is SO much better than what fears creep up, and I''m so proud of you for knowing that it would work out as it was supposed to, no matter what. What a strong foundation you all have to build off of now!

Those pictures are the BEST!!

 

[mrssalvo]

love the pictures blue...you guys are just too cute...

 

[onedrop]

The sharpie rings are cutest thing I have ever seen! You and the brand-new fiance look incredibly happy and content.

 

[Kaleigh]

You guys are too cute for words. I love the way he is looking at you while you are on the phone. The rings are just so fun. Congrats again, just so happy for you!!!
