She said yes!

Life update (upgrade?): Caera and I went on a little romantic getaway this past weekend on the peninsula. We stayed in a cabin (actually, two) in Elwha and explored the Olympic National Park. And after a day of hiking and a home-cooked dinner, I surprised her with gifts and a proposal. :D

This is the spot by the creek where I proposed to her. She doesn't know it's coming yet. I love my goof.

This was part of the back yard.

At the Hoh Rain Forest.

I am so lucky to be with this woman.

And we're such saps.

The book is a children's book about spirals, an important symbol in nature and her band's music. The sprouter is something she had on her wishlist so she can eat healthier. The sunflower plushy is from a video game called "Plants Vs. Zombies," and it's adorable when she sings the theme song. But the key here was the chocolate, which I made sure she ate before I proposed. And the ring is a rhodolite garnet set in Celtic knotwork.

So how about that?? There's a woman out there who's weird enough to want to marry me. :)
