two days ago at work, one of my colleague's boyfriend showed up. at that point i noticed a lot of the kids and staff in the building had all gathered and were facing them. my friend's boyfriend then got on one knee and proposed. my friend said yes.
her fiance i noticed was not the same guy i saw at the holiday dinner in december. this is a new guy. i found out they've only been dating for a few months. the guy already knew so soon.
today i congratulated her on the engagement. i then asked how her kids (a fifth grader and a third grader) likes the guy. she said they love him and her son, who she doesn't always understand, loves her fiance. they get along great. she said she couldn't have asked for a better guy. (i was wondering how my friend could given an answer so soon. now i know).
only two weeks ago, this same friend was 1 of 20 people who won a scholarship to a local university. i overheard her talking on the phone that day. she said she felt like her life was finally coming together (things have not occurred in the order society has dictated). from the outside i would say that her life is coming along just fine. she's a great mom to her kids, she does her job well, and she's a great friend.
i have another friend who has three young kids. the youngest she had with her current boyfriend. her boyfriend loves all of her kids. they have already talked about getting married.
i'm so happy for my friends. i think this is just proof for me that anything is possible.
