After many months of her worrying whether it would ever happen, I finally popped the question at the Arboretum last Thursday. I found a secluded area where it was just us and got down on one knee. I tricked her into thinking I was taking a picture, when I was really taking a video! That can be found on facebook. It might be a little mean, but Ally said it was okay for me to post it. Needless to say I am pretty excited.
Our website that Ally made for our engagement can be found here.
We have set a date for Sept 11. It is a perfect date, except for the fact that everyone I will tell will be saying, "OOOOOH Sept 11?" Seriously, I don't think that the day is that bad. I mean yes, one of the biggest tragedies in our nation's history happened on this date, but I don't think that means that we can't get married then. Actually, if we don't, George Bush would say that the terrorists won. I just don't want the terrorists to win. :~)
We are living in Houston near the Galleria in a place called Broadstone Apartments.
In other news, I have been off and on the bike for a little while right now. My drive for riding is not completely there, and it is extremely hot and muggy in Austin right now. I am still racing twice a week though, but not really training. This means that sooner or later my fitness will begin to wane, but for right now I am just enjoying the fact that I put in all those mile earlier in the year. I have also been golfing a couple of times a week in preparation for the business world. I shoot around a 100, which is really good for me! I think if I could do that consistently then I should be able to hang with a boss or two in the oil and gas industry.
I find it funny how life changes constantly, but the speed at which it changes is never constant. There has been a lot of good change in my life the last couple of weeks, and I am excited to see what is next.
YAY! So excited for ya'll! Can't wait for Sept 11th!
