And Heather, congrats.
For those of you who haven't heard (probably not many of you, since I'm
all the way down here and you all are up there), she just got engaged.
I know that she thinks that it took too long, but I was thinking about
how long Emily and I dated before we got engaged, and it was about the
same amount of time. Emily and I met on August 21, 1998, and I asked
her to marry me on (I'm going to get this wrong) May 17, 2001.
Can't say I've ever regretted it, either. Although I know that Emily
wished at a few points in there that I hadn't taken as long.
Our engagement took place on top of Donnelly Dome, which is a small
mountain that sits on US Army land, back about fifty or so miles from
the Alaska Range, near Delta Junction, Alaska. Beautiful place, from
which you can see both the Alaska range and a good swath of the interior.
She didn't believe me when I asked her. Her immediate reply was, "Shut
up! You're such a jerk!"
I hasten to add that, it being Alaska, I was also wearing a .44 Magnum
for bear protection (which I later sold for a new pair so skis--a fair
trade).
