In Case You Didn't Hear...

I'm pretty sure I've already published this joyous news far and wide, but Kellie and I got engaged last weekend. Hurray! Kellie and I went on a small vacation to San Antonio last weekend, ostensibly to celebrate her 23rd birthday. On Friday, we drove down, stopping at the Natural Bridge Wildlife Preserve along the way to visit the various animals. Saturday, we spend most of the day meeting aquatic wildlife at Sea World. After Sea World, we walked down to Market Square, ate at Mi Tierra, walked around the riverwalk, and eventually made our way back to our hotel, a neat little 3 story place built around 1900 with rooms full of antiques. Very romantic. In the basement, there was this nifty bar/lounge, lit by candlelight, full of chairs and couches and very few people. She went back to the room to change, whilst I headed down to the club to get us a couch and order champagne. When she arrived, I began teasing her about her birthday present, finally hinting that I had it with me. Then I leaned over and whispered the fateful words in her ear. She was somewhat taken aback, but of course she said yes. We're both very excited and looking toward getting married next Spring. :) I will post pictures soon (hopefully).
