Being engaged doesn&#8217;t change much in the daily routine for us, but it means that the next year is going to be filled with a lot of planning, preparation, and saving, and needless to say, we are both very excited for the next phase of our lives. <\/p>\n<p>While we both love living in San Diego and really appreciate the comforts of home, we also share a real sense for adventure and living life to the fullest. And though we have the itch for some bigger and better things in the future, for the time being we&#8217;re just buckling down, working hard, saving money, and making sure to enjoy all the planning that we&#8217;ll be doing in preparation for the big day. I won&#8217;t go into much more detail right now, other than to say we&#8217;ve got a lot of ideas and directions we&#8217;d like to explore in all aspects of our lives; personally, professionally and otherwise. We&#8217;ve got some plans for travel and also some business ideas that we want to explore, but we&#8217;re trying not to take too much on while we&#8217;ve got our wedding to plan. <\/p>\n<p>We will try to use our wedding as a clean slate though, so to speak, and will likely leap into the next phase of our life once all the celebrating is done. Even though we&#8217;ll be nose to the grindstone for the next year, I&#8217;ll continue to be updating the site here, and I hope that you&#8217;ll continue to keep reading, and will be around to see what awaits on the horizon.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I have yet to officially mention my recent big news online (except for on my personal Facebook), so here it is: In early April I proposed to my girlfriend of 4+ years, and we are now engaged to be married mid May of 2013!
