EXCITING NEWS!!!!

HOW MANY EXCITING THINGS

CAN HAPPEN IN THIS FAMILY

IN ONE YEAR?

ONE MARRIAGE,

TWO BABIES,

AND NOW 

EMILY AND ZAK'S ENGAGEMENT

ZAK WAS DUE TO ARRIVE ON SATURDAY,
BUT FLEW IN EARLY,
TO SURPRISE EMILY IN MONTEREY,
WITH A MARRIAGE PROPOSAL.
(SHE THOUGHT SHE WAS GOING THERE TO
 CELEBRATE MY BIRTHDAY A  LITTLE EARLY.)

ROSE PETALS ON THE PATH, 

AND ZAK ON ONE KNEE,

OF COURSE SHE SAID YES!

 SOME OF HER CLOSE FRIENDS,
AND ROOMMATES WERE THERE
TO JOIN IN THE CELEBRATION,

AND TO TAKE, AT LAST COUNT,
SOMEWHERE AROUND 200 PHOTOS.

 THE CELEBRATING WENT ON
WITH DINNER ON THE WHARF,

 THEN EVERYONE HEADED FOR HOME
EXCEPT DARYL AND I.
WE HEADED FOR ONE
OF OUR FAVORITE SPOTS IN MONTEREY

FOR A CUP OF COFFEE, 

AND TO RELISH THE EXCITING NEWS.
CONGRAT'S EMILY AND ZAK!
