This is what I am building towards, asking one question, to one woman. The thousands of words I have typed are all meant to be a gift for the one I seek, “yes”. I am not concern about her saying those words, our relationship is full of open communication that lends itself to insights as to how the other feels, and her love is just as strong as mine. We bring out the best in eachother and never tear down what we have been building.

But with all that said, it still is a scary proposition, asking her to take me for me, from this day forward, no matter the storm, no matter the situation. Perhaps this is why I have been struggling to find the perfect way to ask Jayme. Oh I have plenty of ideas, but none ever seem to be able to parallel my feelings I have for her. Perhaps that is the greatest problem I have encountered, having a love that transcends natural and physical manifestations. That what we have cannot be summed up worth any words, actions, or Objects.

But yet I need to find someway to make the moment happen none-the-less, and I have a few ideas to show Jayme how special she is to me. Whether it is a chapel walk late this fall at SJU, Christmas morning, or a bright spring day out at lake Linka, where we will eventual bring this whole story full circle, I am sure of one thing, I have never been more excited for a single moment in my life.

Jayme has come to show me that she is more to myself then I ever knew was there. She has unlocked the best parts of me, and she even cherishes the ones that are still need some polishing. There is never any contingency on her love, or quid pro quo that needs to be satisfied. She gives all of herself, each day, no matter what.  Cynics will say that type of dedication and love is not real, at least not all the time. But they are wrong, this woman is the closest thing to perfection that the world has seen. her love is true and requires only acceptance to exist. This is why I only have one thing left I need to say to her, “will you marry me?”
