I'm so happy for you, Hope. I know you have been waiting for that for a long time. I put my rings back on early on, and still have them on, but I think you and your wife are closer emotionally than my H and I. I wish my H would work as hard as you in the "wooing" department.
And, Puppy. She's cautious, and she wants it to really mean everything she wants it to mean. I think we can all take something from Hope's patience. It DOES pay off.
