Title bump

November 1, 2007

Long overdue after over two and a half very happy years of putting up with grumbly ole me, The Girlfriend got a title bump last weekend while we were away on vacation in Amelia Island (ostensibly to celebrate my 28th birthday). I'm very pleased to announce that Judyta is now officially The Fiancée!

We could not be more thrilled and excited for our future together and we thank our family and friends for their support and love. No news yet on when, where, or how.

And now you know why the blog has been pretty quiet. I did manage to surprise Judy into almost shock, which I was worried about. I already had the ring but it was a pretty spontaneous proposal, taking place at sunrise in a state park on a very long pier jutting out over the stormy Atlantic. After watching dozens of early morning marathon trainers we had our run of the pier and the crashing waves, and I distracted her by taking a series of self-timer pics of us with the camera perched on a bench. Following the forth or fifth exposure I grabbed the ring hidden in my camera bag and ran back over to her. The pic captures her confusion at why I had sort of fell down on one knee instead of stood beside her for our snapshot. I think its pretty hilarious that I sort of screwed the money pic up, but who cares because oh sweet baby jesus, she said yes!

John - I just had to laugh at this story as a fellow photogapher. . . You making sure the camera was set up to get a photo of the moment. Haa, I love it. Good work. Thanks for sharing.

I wish you both the best, and many more fun self timer photos in the future.
