Cinco de Mayo, 2010
From the Photoblog:
"Last night I took my sweetheart Alicia up American Fork Canyon to photograph some star trails. It was pretty chilly outside (38F) so she stayed in the car and played Solitaire on my iPad while I setup the camera. Earlier that day I headed to the jewelers and picked up an engagement ring and it was burning a hole in my pocket. I've been thinking so hard to come up with some creative scheme to propose but nothing came to mind so I just decided to give it a go. I walked around the car and came up to the passenger door; she couldn't see out and was oblivious to my being there. I opened the door, got down on my knees and told her that I had two questions for her: If she would marry me and if I could have her for forever. I'm not sure if she actually said yes or not but she was crying and couldn't really talk very well. Eventually she got out and gave me a big hug, and very big hug and I confirmed if it was a yes or not :) So, in the dark of night while the stars drew a ring around the north star I put a ring on my sweethearts finger. Life is beautiful."
