It was worth the wait...

...after almost 12 years and the birth of our son...

It was a "regular" night.  The three of us were hanging out in our jammies before the little one's bedtime.  We'd read a bedtime story, then started the rest of the nighttime routine.  I was waiting to read a story on the couch, when the two of them came into the living room (sneaky looks on both their faces).  Side note: earlier that week our son had "mooned" one of his teachers!)  Something Daddy taught him to do. So....they approached me, hiding behind our bedtime story book, and our son asked, "Mommy, do you want to see some sparkly stars?"  Needless to say, because of the "incident" earlier in the week, I was a bit scared as to what they were going to do to me.  But instead, out came a ring box, which our son quickly grabbed and opened. He took out my ring a threw it on the couch cushion (at which time Daddy scrambled to pick it up) and sat beside me.  My husband, as I had called him since the birth of our son, then got down on one knee and proposed.  Of course, I said yes, there was never any question.  We then told our son that we were going to get married, and his first response was, "Why?"  Too cute!  It was perfect!
