school, work, and the perfect day

well, it’s been over half a year since my last post.  seems to be the trend. however, i have been very busy lately. so much has changed in my life over the past few weeks.  i’m quickly approaching the final days of my student career as graduation is less than a month away.  i’ve already accepted an engineering position at echostar.  for those not in the know, that is the parent company of dish network. it feels good to be employed.

and finally, and most importantly, mandy and i have made it official.  they say seven is the perfect number, so i guess that would make 7/7/07 the perfect day.  i’m not sure how yours was, but it was indeed the perfect day for me.  the day started with a picnic to piedmont park.  even though the weather was threatening, we were able to finish our picnic and then journey over to atlanta botanical gardens.  after visiting practically all they had to offer, we found ourselves in a nice secluded spot in the middle of the woodland shade garden.  it was there, surrounded by beauty, that i slid the ring onto her finger (on one knee, of course).  it really was the perfect day.
