Helen´s last blog ..Im a Big Sap
That is such wonderful news! I am so excited for you!
Wait just a cotton-pickin’ minute. You did this without me meeting him and assessing whether or not he was a suitable partner. Mary, Mary, Mary… is this how I raised you?

AndrewENZ´s last blog ..I long for Aiur
I have been googling most of the week a variation of the question, “How soon is too soon to ask your girlfriend to marry you?” Congratulations on your upcoming nuptials, and thanks for being an inspiration for those of us who move at a faster pace.
It’s never too soon if you know it’s right. That’s my opinion. ;)
Dear Mary (and Kepa!)
Congrats!
I think your proposal is the sweetest and most thoughtful one I may have ever seen! That flipbook Kepa drew is so tender and sweet-I just want to watch it over and over!
I am so taken with the fact that you teo really had no chance of ever meeting-he is New Zealand ,you in USA…it’s just incredible (and fate perhaps?)that you even had a chanc eto correspond in the first place,and I LOVE that fact! It is like the Gwyneth Paltrow movie Sliding Doors where one small moment in time totally can change one;s life’s paths forever! Such an amazing and spectacular thing!
I am smitten with you two and wish you an amazing year of getting to know each other more,and for you an incredible experience of living overseas with your love…that is a movie in itself! Sighhhhh! I would love to meet a romantic, funny and sensitive and cute guy like you have! Sighhhh
Wishing you both much bliss in the year ahead…and don’t let the little things in life get in your love’s way.We all are pulling for you and have your backs ;)
Now,my most importnat question of the day (besides where can I find a guy like Kepa?!) …..what is the name of that incredible song and who is singing it? It will be my next purchase in iTunes…..and I will think of you two while I listen to it!
All the best from a fan in Nova Scotia, Canada !!!
Thanks Marla! I really am so excited about all of this and everything that is to come. ;)
The song is Without You by Brooke Fraser. She is a kiwi artist, but she has songs available to download in iTunes I think. I absolutely love her and this song is my favorite. ;)
Mary-
I can’t imagine you are reading all these comments, but I just wanted to shout out how happy I am for you. Helen posted yours and Kepa’s link and I’ve been stalking both blogs for about 30minutes now. I am so happy for you, what a great guy, and how adorable. Much joy always.
YES! YES! YES!!! Congratulations! I’m so happy for you both.
