Eureka!

Late Tuesday night, after a long exhausting day of moving into our new home, Ev proposed! I said yes & we are now engaged!

It's amazing to think how far we've come in the past year, how much we've matured and how close we've become. He's my best friend, my inspiration and motivation. He has always been my life partner and always will be but now he's my fiancé and soon-to-be husband.

Ev is the best Daddy & partner ever. It's hard to keep it to myself, his skills must be discussed & appreciated by all. If any of you ever get to witness this talented father & fiancé, be careful, you will melt & he is taken.

Ev has always been great with babies. His mother told me that when she asked him to do something like clean up his reply would be "I can't, Pinky is on me." Pinky was one of their pet cats growing up and just like Pinky, Thor has been spoiled the same way. What you need to get from this is not that Ev didn't want to help, it's that he didn't want to bother the baby (or pet.)

He has a devoted part of his heart for animals and it's even more visible with his daughter. This guy jumps to any occasion to get Ila when she wakes up. He loves feeding her. He loves dressing her. He doesn't prefer changing poopy diapers but who would.

Even cooler than taking the role of a parent is that he's intuitive to her needs. He can read her emotions. He knows when she's hungry, tired, ready to play, wants Binky or poopy.

Let me add that this guy is a great daddy and but also a great partner. He helps with cooking, cleaning and loves doing the things I hate (putting clothes & dishes away.)

I'm so pleased with the way our lives turned out. I feel like Areosmith's "I don't want to miss a thing" song is playing in my head all day everyday.
