Engagement

I got engaged.

I got engaged this weekend. It was amazing. Very emotional, of course. It would be a bit weird if it wasn’t. I’m not going to write much more about it. Maybe I will one day, but for now, I like it private and precious. It’s a memory that Pippa and I share. The memory is ours, the intricate and deep feelings it brings are understood by only us, and its not something that can be taken away. Many things are like that. Our house is ours, but not really; if we don’t keep up the payments to the bank they will come and take it away, along with all of our stuff. Even if they did do that, they couldn’t take this memory away. Like I said, it is truly ours.

Other people will know about it of course, they’ll know all the physical details too. You know, where it took place, when it took place, what the ring looks like and what the weather was like. They’ll see pictures of it, probably lots. They’ll never understand it though, not like Pippa and I do; that is for us alone. I’ll treasure it forever.
