EXCELLENT!! I love stories like that! Congratulations on you two figuring it all out!!
I must admit, while I did just get the ring ... Philip asked me to marry him on October 29th. 8 days after we first *met* each other. It certainly made DevCon interesting! Sorry to keep it all from you, but you know how it is, skeptics and all that... Like most of you have said, time was really irrelevant in our case ... too many things lined up for us all at the same time, and since I am not one to ignore fate and all that ... and we have so many things in common and just enough differences that we fit each perfectly. *** um, Howie, keep your mind outta the gutter there on that last one *** :) Erika >>|-----Original Message----- >>|From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] >>|Sent: 13 December 2001 14:54 >>|To: CF-Community >>|Subject: Re: I got a present today!
