Engaged
As it seems the news has already been posted to other places on the Net, I thought I should mention that yes, Alexis and I are engaged. (Yay!)
I asked her last weekend on her birthday, then took her to a suprise birthday dinner where none of the guests (save one) knew about the suprise engagement. Needless to say it was exciting to all! Had a great time for the rest of the weekend celebrating with friends and family.
I’m just glad she put up with me for five-plus years before I finally got around to asking. I guess I have to blame it on my family history and the less-than-perfect models of marriage that I’ve seen, and my desire not to run in to anything major without being completely sure. But I can definitly say that I am completely sure that I’m more than thrilled about this!
So I’ll apologize in advance if I start yammering on about wedding planning and such over the next few months (years? hope not…). Maybe I’ll have to create a separate category.
woo hoo! congratulations!
(hey, and sorry i couldn’t really stop and chat this evening at the gym, but i had to jump on the prime view machine before somebody else snagged it. cardio when all you can look at is other people’s butts is agonizingly boring, but being able to watch people climbing is actually entertaining. anyway we should definitely do lunch sometime with the usenix folks you know.)
CONGRATULATIONS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
