Life, At 4600 Ft... Is Better Together

     Oh hey, it's this thing I once started and never finished... whoops!  Well I suppose an update is in order for the zero people that follow this blog.  Man, this blog was supposed to be so much more grand.  So much more adventurous.  Life is an adventure though, and perhaps if one is busy living, then one doesn't have time to update one's blog  :p
     Well in the previous post back in November of 2013 (Wow!) I mentioned a girlfriend and promised more details to follow.  Well I guess it's about time you all found out.  Yes, you dust bunny in the corner of the internet.  In case you didn't know already, that girlfriend is now my wife. (WHAT!)  Yeah, dude.  Life's been pretty much happening faster than I can blog about it!  Here's the story, semi-summarized:
     We met back in September.  We had both gotten roped into learning and performing a traditional Polynesian dance for a large luau that was being organized by our churches.  At first impression, I noticed her smile and she noticed my eyes.  Her roommate was organizing the practices and gave her my phone number.  One night after a practice, she called and invited me to go with a group of people out to a restaurant and hang out.  Unfortunately I had to decline since I had just gotten in bed and worked early in the morning.  I told her I couldn't go but that I would be interested in doing something fun another time instead.  That opened the door to later communication, and a first date about a week later.  We were pretty much an item from that point on and defined it officially a couple weeks later.
     That was September.  Christmas rolls around and I'm getting anxious.  I knew she was the one and I had been dropping hints for weeks, to which she did not seem opposed, though we never really came out and talked about it.  With some careful planning, I proposed on January 11th, 2014 and we set a date to be married on May 24th, 2014.  Things came together amazingly and now we've been very happily married for about two and a half months.  That's the most exciting adventure yet.
     I think I'll leave it at that, since time is short and I have many other projects to do.  Just remember my personal motto: "Never let a good day go to waste."  Until next time.  Ramble on.
