notes from away

Going to the Chapel…, originally uploaded by mainegal.

Ted proposed on Saturday morning. It took all day to track down my father for his permission, but eventually he did call us back. There was no engagement ring, as I didn’t really want on.

Today, we were visiting our friend’s awesome furniture/accessory store (Mezzanine) in Detroit and saw this ring. We both thought it was perfect as an engagement ring. It reflects our personalities better than any diamond.

How so? The black in the ring is a rubber “O ring”! It makes me giggle.. I am so happy… and so is Ted.

I will probably start using this website to share the details and information on the wedding.

Maybe it is the weather.

Maybe it is the work grind.

Maybe it just is that time of year.

Maybe it is just something deep inside me - a connection that just won’t break..

But I dream of San Francisco and of Yosemite. I was originally considering a trip to Alaska this summer, but now the discussion has shifted to San Fran. Ted has never been and I truly believe it is his kind of city…(I swear I am not saying this because I want to go)

Another benefit to the weather is I am slowly finding my photo-mojo again. And with that, I am sure the blog-mojo will return to.

Until it completely returns, I am going to just gaze and remember my day in Yosemite and the promise I made to return.
