Also, most important announcement:
We made the decision a while ago, when she came to visit, and I asked her. Now I'm making it public.
I asked Philippa to marry me. She said yes.
I am the luckiest man in the world to be engaged to the most beautiful, intelligent, patient and loving woman in the universe. I cannot wait to make her my wife.
We've been dating almost four years now, and I can't imagine myself with anyone else, and all I want is to grow old with her.
