My mother, who had an endless supply of proverbs and standard expressions, always said better late than never. So

Congrats! (Though I always felt that the ultimate plunge is mixing your whites in the laundry.)

[eleanor]

This move really is overdue -- we've been doing laundry together for two years!

[supergee]

Felicitations.

[mckitterick]

Awesome! I wish you two all the best.

(Also, may your books coexist in peace.)

[eleanor]

I think that we have fewer duplicates than you might imagine, which means that I have lots to read!

[mallorys_camera]

Excellent! All happiness to the second person plural!

(Your Bob Howe wasn't married to a woman named Heidi once upon a time, was he?)

[eleanor]

Thank you!

No, Bob was never married to anyone named Heidi, although I went to middle school with a girl named Bambi. I'm sure that she became either a naturalist or a stripper. Actually, I once knew a Disney stripper, although to be accurate, she worked as a Disney character at one of the theme parks during the busy season, was an exotic dancer for the rest of the year, and never (to the best of my knowledge) combined the two. Which is neither here nor there.

Re: Yay!

[eleanor]

Yes, that sounds about right. I don't know if it's a miracle that I waited until middle age to find my true match, or if it's a miracle that I ever found Bob at all. Either way, I'm pretty darn happy!
