A Proposal-Play by Play

The Future Mr. and Mrs. Broom

Day 46-Year 3

Team Zybko

August 6, 2014

Michael had all the details figured out like a pro, a top notch party planner or a surprise events coordinator. I was let in on the big proposal time and date to have my camera ready (more for everyone else than him) and to wrangle in and corral our sometimes disorderly, loud bunch to make sure they were there to watch it go down. The first of Team Z to be engaged. We are newbies to this and the strong emotions that surround such a big promise of love. Surprisingly enough, I am not as whacked out about this progression of life as I suspected. I am not a sad puddle of tears, I don't feel instantly older like I thought and I can happily report no more grey hairs than when I woke up. Amazing really to have a front row spot as the cycle of life spins right before your eyes. Not too fast, not too slow, just right. 

As cliche and goofy as it sounds, the truth is we aren't loosing Diane into the great dark abyss of marriage, on the contrary, we are actually adding to our family in the most wonderful way. A new son-in-law, a stand up, solid guy and the yin to Diane's yang. How cool is that? 

Some simple words of advice before it gets confusing. Be quick to move at the dinner table, bring your own ear plugs, remember no game played around these parts are ever uncompetitive, brush up on your dance-off skillz and hang on tight. Welcome to the family Michael and congrats to such a cute couple.
