I'm very pleased to announce that I'm engaged to be married to Olivia Jean Wall. I proposed on Valentine's day evening from high on flattop mountain overlooking the city lights using a diamond from my grandmother's 25th anniversary ring which I had reset in more modern (and smaller) white gold setting. The event was enchanting. She's the best gal in the whole world, and I love her.

Though, we haven't formalized a date, Livie has been bounding about town with her Mom's scoping and brainstorming. There's a general leaning toward a short outdoor ceremony some where on the Turnagain Arm followed by a rockin' block party in the cul-de-sac. Likely sometime this summer. We're both very excited.
