Its barely been 72 hours and we have heard from friends all over the US. Thanks for your support! This has turned out to be a busy week for us, well Jeanesse… She’s moving this weekend out of her apartment and in to a house where she’ll be housesitting for 6 months for missionaries wrapping up their time in Bangladesh. She’ll have room to spread out a bit, but will be living a little farther away.

Getting engaged has allowed us to really take the veil off the future, and stop playing the “what-if” game. We’re able to talk candidly about plans, and there’s a lot to talk about, aside from the wedding. She’ll be starting grad school, I’ll be graduating, looking for a job and our first place as a couple.

We had a great time Sunday night, as Jeanesse mentioned. I’m glad we ended up at the Washington Monument. It was a much better location than near the National Christmas Tree. It was pretty busy there, while we were the only ones (for a while) at the Washington Monument, and could see everything–downtown lights, the Capitol, the White House, Jefferson and Lincoln Memorials. Plus the monument is well-lit — very important for her first impression of the ring!

Thanks again for all of your emails, comments, and guestbook entries. We’re both grateful for your support. I had hoped to get a photo gallery up tonight, but am holding off until I can get it customized to the design of the site. Keep stopping by and we’ll let you know of wedding plans as they become available!
