happy new year and big news

Wow! that week went by quickly.  A lot has happened so I'll get straight to it.  Christmas was a joyous affair. Tomoka likes the diamond earrings I gave her and the platinum doesn't trigger her metal allergy so that's good.  I'm enjoying my presents (xbox!) very much.  Everyone was very generous and I feel blessed.  We managed to get out of the house a few times.  The Smiths were kind enough to host a party with great food and company including a few people I hadn't seen in years.  We visited Sarah and Marc and the boys a few times.  Henry is simply adorable and Oscar is sweet too -  though I'm a little worried he wants to steal Tomoka from me.
I did accomplish my goal to get up the stairs.  It's wonderful to sleep in my own bed again.
The other big change happened last night.  I proposed to Tomoka and SHE SAID YES!  We still have to work out all the wheres and whens.  I'm feeling euphoric and a little overwhelmed.
Animink is sending me some work to do at home and I'm looking forward to it.
My next goals are to continue working on balance and walking.  I want to thank you all for your prayers and concerns.  I've been blessed with more support than I deserve and owe a debt of gratitude to you all.
With much love,
