Belated & Premature Well-Wishing

The Kissy-Monster at rest.
This morning, I woke–still groggy from my trip to Ellaville–and had to fend off a Kissy-Monster. It was terrible. I can’t really talk about it.
But my beloved had put a card and a little velvet pouch on the pillow next to me. A little gold bracelet and a sweet card. Valentine’s day is not a big deal here…yet, she had not ignored it…she is sneaky that way. I had decided to ignore the event, so it wouldn’t make her feel guilty for not acknowledging it. Now I’m the one who feels guilty that I didn’t go ahead and do it anyway.
Then I made my coffee and sat down at my desk, and on Facebook, I noticed that I had all these congratulations messages…I’m thinking…Now, how did they know that my Kiwi partner remembered Valentine’s Day? Then I realized they were congratulating me on my relationship status change. Which I did yesterday.
Amusingly enough, though, the engagement happened July 5th of 2012–I just now got around to changing it, because I saw somewhere that Facebook now had Civil Union and Domestic Partnership as choices–we haven’t yet had one of those official ceremonies (and will, soon–gay marriage is legal here. And we will in Colorado, too, when we move back there in 5 years–yay! They did it finally!) ….anyway, I had to see for myself, if Facebook offered those selections, as I had never seen them. When I looked, they weren’t there, and I thought, wow, I’m not just ‘in a relationship,’ I’m engaged. why didn’t I pick that one last time? We exchanged rings the day I got off the plane on 5July….so I changed my status to ENGAGED. Kate says, “Everyone is congratulating me…imagine how surprised I was when our relationship status changed, and I didn’t know….”
Anyway, I said all that to say this: It was so sweet and heartening to see how many people noticed and sent well-wishes. Thanks to all of you! (and to the one guy who wished me a happy Birthday, even though it’s not my birthday either… LOL)
Rich Carter Happy for you!
