I said yes.

I can't get enough of this picture.  This is the view from the gazebo on the grounds of the Gilcrease museum in Tulsa.  This is where, during our roadtrip in 2001, Jacob and I went every day to walk the grounds, and, on our last day in town, carved our initials into a bench  already scratched with the names of other people in love and wanting to leave their marks.  This is where we went on our last day in Tulsa this Christmas, to look for our carving and see if we could freshen it up.  And this is where Jacob asked me to be his wife.

I love him!
