I'm a fiance

As of yesterday, I’m officially engaged!

I know some of you want details. I’ll spare most of them from the blogosphere. I will say that I proposed at the top of the steps of the capitol building in St. Paul, MN. Jamie loves the capitol and it’s got a great view overlooking St. Paul. It helped that there’s no one there at 5:30 PM on a Sunday.

She knew it was coming at some point in the not-so-distant future, but somehow I still managed to really surprise her with it. No, we don’t have a wedding date set and probably won’t for another month or so. We have a goal, but that goal is contingent on the condition of Jamie’s dad. He’s improving, but he’s still got a long way to go.

Thanks to those of you who have been praying for him. Thanks also to those who have looked out for Jamie and me throughout our relationship. I know that you’ll continue to be there as we move forward together.
