That's really cool. I hoped you expressed this to her... when I got engaged I got sort of lackluster replies from my friends. Lots of, "Yeah, about time." Or "Totally saw that coming." Yes, we'd been together a long time, and yes, we all knew we were headed that way eventually, but seriously? Bust out a little OMIGAWD THAT"S AWESOME for me, ok? That's all I ask.
