As a lot of you probably know, I've been dating Alicia for almost two years now. Originally we started out with a long long distance relationship and I would regularly travel ~8 hours (one way) to spend time with her. Thankfully, in April I was able to get a job much closer to her and since my move, we've been spending every weekend together.

On the 4th of July, under the stars and minutes before an array of fireworks blazed across the night sky, I popped the question and asked her to be my wife. She said "Yes, of course!" and by doing so firmly planted a smile on my face indefinitely.

Not everyone is fortunate enough to fall in love with and marry their best friend. I thank God every single day for bringing her into my life. Since you folks have been like family to me over the past several years, I felt the need to share the wonderful news with you all. :-)

#23664 Posted on: 07/07/2003 04:29 PM Congrats Jim. I will have been married to my best friend 2 years come September. Its great but stressful planning it but it all works out in the end I haven't lost my mind; It's backed up on disk somewhere.

Am I forced to marry her so soon only to compete with the great Jim_ and be "cool". Moral dilemma!!!! Ahahah, I'm just pulling your leg... Congrats Jim_ and Alicia!!!! PS: though, it has been almost two years for me and my girl too - dun duN DUN The most dangerous people are the ones who know "a little" about computers.
