Hey, Carolee. So, I was just thinking...

Well, actually...uhh...umm...

Well, you know how happy I am, right? I mean, you make me happy, so very happy. Before I met you, I was just so...No, that's not right. I mean, I'm so happy with you...with us? Yeah, I'm happy when I'm with you...which is right now. Because you know, we're together. Heh...*nervous chuckle*

What I'm trying to say is...that...I'm happy we're...you know...happy, and I want us to stay like this. Forever. Umm...I know forever is a really long time, but I promise you'll never have to worry about me leaving you, or the kids. You're everything to me. I don't even want to imagine the rest of my life without you.

Umm...so...I was thinking...well, really, wondering... *rubs the back of his neck* ...

I'm going to ask you a question now, and you can say whatever you want...or not say anything at all, if you don't want to...If that's what you want...umm...

*takes a deep breath and gets it out*

Carolee, will you marry me?

*blink*

*blink*

So...How was it that time?

*blink* Nono.

*hangs head with an exasperated sigh*
