Dating since late August, yes. But we've been best friends for 3 years and working together for 5. Knew each other casually (small town Wisconsin) for about 15 years. She's been "Wife" in my phone for years now and it's not at all sarcastic anymore, as new as the actual romantic part may be.

Just added it to my calander for Dec 31 at 10 PM! I promise to update before the ball drops. It's probably be less exciting, though. Awkward for me and my mom and grandpa. My dad's already laughing about it though. And my grandma just yelled "Oh no!" when an old WW2 TV show played a radio message about President Roosevelt passing away, so... I'm not exactly worried about her holding a grudge!

"her" was in quotes because that was more of a gift to myself. But since that detail of the story is what you want elaborated... as I said,, that was part of her gift. I also got her a forever rose, a couple of iridescent tumbler cups that she always takes off the shelf and calls cute, but puts back on the shelf, and 2 2nd row VIP seats to her favorite Trevor Noah next November. I know how to gift give, I just wanted to keep the story about my fuck up instead of my strengths 💪
