I'M GETTING MARRIED!
I'm still getting used to the whole 'engaged' thing and I'm not one of those people who announce it from the rooftops, so perhaps that's the reason why it has taken me nearly 2 weeks to blog about.
February 2nd started out as any normal Saturday....the sun was out and the city was bustling. I went for a late morning run while Todd went to the coffee shop. We walked downtown for a late lunch and then went to Pike Place Market, walked around for a bit and headed down to the Waterfront Park on Elliot Bay. He led me to a nice quiet spot and asked me to marry him.
I was so caught by surprise that the first thing I managed to say was "Are you serious?" A little voice inside my head was telling me "for goodness sakes make sure you tell him 'yes'!"
And so I said yes. I immediately called my parents (who didn't answer), so I called my brother who told us to go buy a disposable camera since neither of us had our cameras with us. The nearest store just happened to be Pirates Plunder, and even though I begged to get an eye patch, we just bought the camera and went back to the park for some snapshots.
With planning for a wedding sure to keep me preoccupied for the next seven months, I'm not sure if I'll have time to train for/run the Eugene Marathon. I know I'll definitely need something to ease my stress, but I don't think I'll be able to focus as much as desired on months-long training. Besides, I only get to be engaged once so I want to savor that as much as possible. I can always run Eugene another year.

shit, man. you just gave me an idea. from now on, EVERY TIME dice and I go out on "date night," i'm going to make sure to bring my cowboy hat and a disposable camera JUST IN CASE something like this happens. I would hate to have serious looking photographs on such an occasion.
yours are nice though, I guess. :)
CONGRATULATIONS!
