Today, at approximately 5:30, my best friend struts in the room with his girl on his arm and announces he is engaged.
No he gave me no warning. I wasn't expecting anything of the sort. They just walk in the room with big goofy grins on their faces. He's the happiest man on earth at that point in time.
Yes he has only been dating her for about three weeks officially. I think it's too soon. But hey that doesn't matter right? It's right for them. That's what matters.
No I couldn't speak coherently for a good 20 minutes after. I got blind-sighted. You see, I love this stuff. And he's the first of my really close friends to pop the question. I guess the rest of us are just slow. I am happy for them. They sold me tonight, I guess it's the right thing for both of them.
Yes I did think about my future in that regard. Something about your buddy getting engaged will do that to you. I mean, I still feel like I'm 18. Are we really old enough for this?
And yes, we did celebrate. Dinner at Applebee's.
I'm happy for them. It makes me happy too.
And maybe someday, when the time is right, I can make some friend of mine happy too. Cause this is what it's all about.
Until then, I'll need another dude to play halo with now. I just know, somehow, that I won't be seeing a lot of Mark in the future.
