an email exchange I hope you’ll enjoy

I emailed my friend Emily the other day because she lives in Washington, DC, and Donald Miller was, according to his twitter, also in our nation’s capital.

Emily.

Donald Miller is in Washington, DC for the inauguration. I know that he was in Georgetown yesterday, and that he is downtown today. If you see him, please tell him to marry me. Tell him, “Don Rabbit, I know where Sexy Carrot is. She is waiting for your call.”

And here is her response, received today.

Beth,

I cannot even begin to tell you how sorry I am that I only received your two emails TODAY!!!  I spent basically the whole weekend hanging out with Donald Miller, and I didn’t even once mention how you, his Sexy Carrot, were at home in NC awaiting his call / marriage proposal!!  I can’t believe this!!  I mean, all weekend he was like “Geez, you know, all I really want these days is a cute, loving, intelligent, humorous lady with whom I can spend the rest of my life.”  And all I did was sit there and console him rather than scream out “BETH PARENT LOVES YOU MARRY HER NOW!!!!!”

And for that I apologize.  I had no idea.

But the NEXT time I see him, you bet I’ll be ready.

 

Emily

 I love that woman.
