Since this is my primary place of posting after the games and in the light of all the support I get here I wanted you to be the first to know that Anna and I were engaged today.

We have only been dating for about 2 months and living together for about six weeks, but we were members of the same swim team and classmates at school for the last three years. She also plays volleyball and softball with me. So we have been seeing each other a lot over the last three years.

Today while we were out shopping I took her into a jewelry store that I had called a week ago and had her try on the ring. I then whispered in her ear "Would you marry me." She said "YES." The clerk then gave her a matching ring to give me. We are setting a June date at my family estate. I have never been this happy...
