Thanks to everyone for offering Cairo and i congratulations on our impending mutual shackling.

It's a funny thing, i was thinking about marriage and all that it implies today. Cairo was dropping me off at the train station this morning, and right before we pulled up to the door, i said "Huh... we're really going to have our whole lives together, aren't we?"

I guess it's not something i ever really thought so hard about before. I mean, i've been "intended," as she likes to put it, before, but it was with someone who i really didn't mesh with, and it would have been disastrous. So now that i'm with someone who matches me so well, who inspires me, who encourages me, and can put up with all my quirks and weirdness on top of all that... I guess the reality of the fact that i'll be spending my life with someone so awesome is a little daunting. Maybe i want to make sure nothing goes wrong, i dunno. Main thing isthat i've been kinda flying by the seat of my pants for the last one and a half years, and now i'm thinking a lot farther into the *practical* future than i ever have, and that's just... different. I guess for me it's like looking at a new opponent in the ring. I'm scared and nervous, but i'm also really excited because i know that i'm going to have an incredible time, and win or (God forbid) lose, i'm going to be better for the experience. Bottom line is that i'm looking forward to it.

I don't know if any of that sounded right or not.

Anyway, i love Cairo very much and i can't wait to be married to her and face the rest of my life with her. Now if we can just figure out that whole ceremony/reception/honeymoon bit. There are a million things that we haven't even begun to come close to deciding on.
