My father got engaged this weekend! I'm so happy for him, and his new fiance. They've been dating off and on for over 2 years now, and they live across the street from each other. Since they decided to start dating again (almost a year ago now), he's been so happy. I haven't seen him this happy since before Mom got diagnosed. He deserves it so much!
But what's supremely funny is how he told me. Did he call? No. He sent me an email (to both addresses, at least) that said "I asked B. to marry me. She said yes. Details to follow." THAT'S IT! I tried to call him within minutes of getting the email and he had already left. So I still haven't even talked to him after he drops this bombshell on me!!! (OK, it wasn't a bombshell. He told me that this was coming, he just didn't know when.
