Wow, a lot has happened in the past few weeks… Here’s the lowdown:

I finally worked up the nerve to ask Katie to marry me. After a lot of sobbing and face covering I finally got an “Uh huh” followed shortly thereafter by a real “Yes”. This was in the morning, so we had to hide it from our families until they met (for the first time) that evening. It was a surprise to the parents, but our siblings had a pretty good idea it was coming. So now we’re a “package deal” as we like to call it. And no, we do not have a date. Don’t ask. If you do, the answer is February 31st, 2011… on Mars.

We’re moving! Yes, after many years the stronghold of Gainesville will finally be broken. I’ll miss the fall football, but I’ll be back for some games. Our eventual destination is Charlotte, NC. But, we’ve got a year detour in Richmond, VA (courtesy of Connie). This weekend, the Fantastic Four (myself, Katie, Ronnie and Connie) made the long drive to the Commonwealth and a place to call our homes.

That’s the big news in my life…
