Arriving back from New Zealand, I went to NC while Heather went to Colorado and then to Kansas. I visited with my family in NC, where I bought a new (to me) car. I packed my bags and went up to see my grandparents in Ohio before heading over to Kansas to meet up with Heather. After spending a bit of time there we finally made it back to Boulder. Got back into the swing of things by going down to Telluride for a 5 day bluegrass festival with friends. Then we went to New York City for July 4th, where we saw my brother and sister-in-law and..... I proposed to Heather! We are now engaged. Photos of the engagement trip are here. Watch out world, here we come.
