A Memorable Day

I haven't quite fallen off the face of the Earth, but close. Let's see, I'm under a heavy period of work, got engaged, then another heavy period of work. Yes, I got engaged to Squirrel. Many who read this already know because of that little "newssite" called Facebook.

Here's the brief version:

While on a trip out west, we stopped to visit some friends in Walla Walla, Washington (and see where I went to college). One day we decided (ok, I decided long ago) that we were going to visit the lake where I went on my first scenic drive back in 1992.

Liking that trip in 1992 led to more scenic drives which led me to consider leaving the Pacific Northwest after school. I took a job in Athens GA, moved to the DC area and met Squirrel. Almost 18 years later, I took Squirrel back to show her how beautiful it was. There was one group of campers and then us to share the 2.5 miles of shore the lake offers.

We found a bench along side the lake where I proposed. and she said yes!
Life is good!
