Heather is getting a nice new engagement ring. We had a beautiful time in Yosemite. My proposal was a total shock to her and I literally got to shout how much I love her from a mountain after she said yes. I ended my bachelor life in style... throwing down for this shiny new iDrive. I've never had a bike from the bike store. Every bike I've ever had was a hand me down or a collection of new and used parts. I've never had a ride as sweet as this. I've only been out on the trails with it once, but am as happy about it as she has been about the diamonds we've been picking out for her.

Question Popping

Heather's friends, Sarah and Drew, are on their first trip to California to celebrate Sarah's graduation. Later this afternoon, we're celebrating by getting in a minivan and going up to Yosemite for 3 days of backpacking. We drive up today, then hike Tues, Wed, Thurs, in Ansel Adam's favorite spot. Somewhere atop a trail in Yosemite, I'm planning on asking Heather to marry me. wow. I know she's got a ring in mind, so I won't even bother trying to pick one out. Instead, I've got a bracelet for her to wear as I tell her how I feel. I've wanted to ask her since only a few weeks after we met, but have tried to go slow. Now it's been a year and a half and I couldn't imagine my life without her. I think our big moment will happen after the second day of backpacking - at the top of Yosemite. After 48 hours of hiking and 0 hours of showering, I'm sure she'll be taken by surprise. I can't wait to see the look on her face. From yosemite we go to calistoga to tour the wineries. We'll ditch the minivan for bicycles and ride from one tasting to the next. Hopefully we'll all be in a good mood. We'll be back in SD by Saturday.
