This may be the wrong place
to write about this but I wish to share something wonderful with the ladies here, and the others as well.
It is
plain how I feel about Belgareth, I hope. He is a fine man, the best. Most of you also know I am in the US on a
student VISA. On Monday the university provided the written offer for me to be hired as a researcher/associate
professor when I graduate in a few months. My job will allow me to request permenent resident status in this country
and later to become a citizen.
Belgareth has been having trouble with his former wife recently, I think her
broom may be giving her splinters in an incomfortable place. I thought that was why he visited his attorney twice
this week.
Tonight Belgareth made us a wonderful supper, he is an exquisite cook. During desert he offered me
the completed papers to submit to the government so I may stay here. After I thanked him and promised to have the
papers submitted right away he offered me an engagement ring. It is a pretty ring and was a big surprise. He had it
designed and made himself. The sneak planned this for weeks!
The poor man was so funny. He is always so sure of
himself. Tonight he was like a little boy, afraid I would tell him no. It made me giggle to see him that way for the
first time. He is sleeping now, I made certain he was most relaxed. I am too excited to sleep. It is still too early
to telephone my parents and my friends here will all be in bed. You are the first to be told the news.
We have
not picked a date yet. Both of us are fond of the outdoors and would like to wait until the fall when the leaves are
turning. A wedding under the oaks would be nice. It is a slow time for his business was well and we would be able to
take some time for ourselves.
It is the finest graduation gift I could have asked for.
