She said Yes (against her better judgement)

I got up early to pick up baleadas (Baleadas are flour tortillas grilled with beans. After months of corn-based foods, flour tortillas are exotic and gourmet. And, they´re Mary´s favorite thing about Honduras), and then dragged her out of bed for breakfast baleadas on the dock in the above photo. I figured the grogginess of waking up early, combined with the happiness of baleadas and the beauty of the early morning Caribbean would lower her defenses and I was right.

Early on the first day of summer Mary accepted my proposal to get married. Now you may be wondering when a wedding will be coming. My brother set the original over-under at 2009, but seeing as we probably won´t be back in the states til 2008, and we won´t have jobs, an apartment, or money, and it took us two months to find a ring and then three weeks to actually propose, I think the smart money would be on the over. Way over. Expect a save the date card somewhere in the vicinity of 2015.
