After 10 Years…
Bryn and I are engaged! No immediate plans for a wedding, but at least she’s got a shiny ring.
This is a fun timeline. Watch as she just gets prettier and prettier, while I just lose more hair. Good thing I’ve got her locked in now!
1999 – Hanging out back in the day
2000 – College visits, with a side-trip to Disneyland
2001 – The prom, graduation, co-valedictorians, Hawaii, starting UW.
2002 – Go Huskies, College Works Painting ruined my life (in a good way).
2003 – We lived 3 floors apart in Terry hall
2004 – Europe trip, Bryn interning in CA. Shoe biz in infancy.
2005 – Florida trip, UW graduation, I went to Costa Rica, then moved to DC for Ford. Bryn went to Nor-Cal for work, then back to Seattle for her Master’s program. In December I got transferred to Atlanta.
2006 – Long distance relationship all year. Lots of flying: many Seattle trips, plus Vegas and DC. Other people are starting to get married. Shoes ‘R Us went live.
2007 – Got transferred to Nor-Cal, finally removing the “long-distance” from our relationship. Bought a townhouse with incredibly poor market-timing, went to Puerto Vallarta to celebrate. Bryn brought home a little bundle of joy called Mochi.
2008 – Big year… skiing in Utah, Vegas and Detroit again with Ford, “retired” at 25, got shut down by Google the next day, fought back in time for the holidays, went to Peru with Chris, and Dad joined us in Chile for some August skiing in the Andes. Went to the Netherlands in November to visit Charlie. Weekend trips to Tahoe, Monterey, Sonoma, and Southern Cal along the way. Then drove 19 hrs up hwy 101 to get home for Christmas.
2009 – New Year’s Resolutions to floss and to shave my head. So far I’ve kept both. Vegas, Tahoe, and Phoenix, with lots more travel planned. And I managed to keep a secret for once and surprise the girl in Cabo for our 10 year anniverary.
Looking forward to many more years of memories together. Who knows, maybe in another 10 we’ll really tie the knot. I obviously have committment issues.

Congratulations you two!!! This is major! And let’s NOT take another 10 years to seal the deal. Don’t give the woman a chance to change her mind!

Whoa nelly! I thought the day would never come. Congrats!! You actually may want to wait another 10 years before actually tying the note, since last time I remembered, two working people filing jointly is a tax hit.
