This may not come as TOO much of a surprise but its official, Lindsey and I are engaged! We were up in the Poconos with her family at her grandparents' house on the lake when the deal went down. Actually we were in the middle of the lake on a boat when I asked. I had been trying the day before to get out in the boat alone with her, but the fishing was just too good, the boat was in high demand, and I just couldn't get us out there alone! But the timing worked out wonderfully the next day and in the late afternoon I slyly asked Linds if she wanted to go fishing. She actually was taken by surprised (a personal victory) when we got out there and I popped the question. Of course everyone was super happy when we got back and shared the news. A couple people rushed out to get cake and champagne to celebrate and then we sat around the fire, shooting off fireworks and making s'mores. It was a wonderful day and its exciting to be taking this to the next step.
