Welp, I went and bought a ring.

They only live maybe 45 minutes away, so I might hop on the bike and ride over before Sunday.
He's awesome. I absolutely love Lisa's whole family, especially her Dad. I know he'll be surprised I asked, being he gave her away a long time ago. But she's his daughter, and I think it's very important. I know that I'd expect the same, even though kids today probably don't know any better.

I told Alina's father how much I loved his daughter and wanted to spend the rest of my life with her as her husband, if that was alright with him.


And I know three young men that "know better" and will do what's right when it's their time.

Wishing you and Lisa the best that life has to offer.
