A milestone

I write this in seat 21C of Alaska flight 234-1 from Eugene to San Diego.

You know that nervousness you feel right before you step off the high-dive into the your community pool? Yeah. That’s me right now. Except my high dive is in the form of a teeny tiny round silver diamond encrusted object that I’m about to give to the love of my life. And rather than leaping into the cold shimmering waters tinged with chlorine, I’m bending down and planting one knee in the San Diego sand…

Yep, I’m (hopefully) getting engaged today. And I couldn’t be happier. What can I say? She’s got me, hook, line, and sinker. If not her, then who?

I’ll save you the sappiness, but these milestones are such important parts of our lives. Such a small moment, but such a big leap.

Well, here’ goes. Into the deep end. Wish me luck!

(Post update, she said yes. Thank goodness or I would have just swam west).
