By now, everyone should know full well that Sheryl and I are more than business partners. We're life partners living together as well.

We live much of our lives in pretty open view. Between Twitter, Jaiku, Seesmic, QIK, our GeekSpeakTV, Facebook, here on VOX and all the other social media tools we use, people have a pretty fair insight into our life events. We don't hide our relationship or our love for one another.

At the VON.x conference in San Jose earlier this week, we shared the most momentous event of our life together. Many readers and friends have seen, but since it was live on stage at VON, and live streamed on the Internet. Now it's here on VOX too.

Here's one of the videos that was streamed live on the Internet.

Here's Sheryl's smile afterward. Oh, she said yes!

Sheryl's Smile after saying yes

The last several months have been a time of dramatic change in my life. There have been many things I haven't talked about openly and some that I have. I know it's left some people wondering where I am and what I'm doing. There's been a fair amount of stress and strain, and a number of personal issues I've struggled with. Some of them are things I'll struggle with for a long time to come.

I'm finding my way to a path I've long been astray from. I met Sheryl and something magical grew between us. Today, we're exploring life together. New media, social networking tools and mobile solutions have really captured our attention and we've had the good fortune to be able to use many exciting new tools. We've also been making lots of new friends together. Some online and through technology, but we've also met winemakers and folks who own some restaurants and new friends as a result of those deiscoveries. We're not through all the trials we share, but we actively work together every day to build our life ahead.

This amazing woman I love and share my life with posted a gift she'd given me a while ago here yesterday. She amazes me every day. Sheryl's a miraculous treasure in my life for which I will be ever thankful.

My voice cannot compare to hers. It isn't even close. But I dabble with my guitar from time to time.

I've never written a song. One day that will come. But for now, for this Valentines Day, I'm going to post something I made for her. I was going to send it to her alone, but how I feel about Sheryl is pretty common knowledge these days. It isn't something I hide. It isn't something I intend to ever hide.
