LISA AND JAIME ARE ENGAGED!!!

I waited and waited for Lisa to propose and it never happened. So, I took charge and made the plunge myself. I popped the question while on our vacation trip to California. Lisa and I got engaged at the Hearst Castle in San Simeon, CA. After a little over 3 years of dating Lisa and I are now engaged.

Lisa and I had planned this trip for a while now. We were able to fly to California on some FREE AirTran tickets we got by collecting Wendy's cups last year. Lisa was a mad woman possessed searching everywhere for the Wendy's cups. It paid off big time. It saved me a lot of money by getting this free airplane tickets. I was able to take those savings and buy her a very nice diamond engagement ring.

I've been planning the engagement extravaganza for quite some time now. It involved a multimedia experience of music and video. The Hearst Castle also provided a great backdrop for the whole event. I've been working on the music for some time. I had some great intro music and a wonderful finale. I almost lost everything when my computer went nuts a couple of weeks ago. Fortunately I had a backup of my work so I was able to recover my work. I videotaped the event at the Hearst Castle. You can watch it here:

I also made a video montage of the engagement ring. You can watch that video here:

I want to thank Angie for introducing Lisa and I. Had it not been for Angie's surprise birthday party a few years ago Lisa and I would not have met. I know that many of you have been incessantly querying me about when this would take place. Well it has happened and now you can be a part of it. And before you start asking, the one you need to talk to about the children situation once we are married is Lisa. It's now her turn to be pelted by your many inquiries regarding this sort of stuff.

Stay in touch for the upcoming wedding. You are invited.

Lisa, I love you very much and am very glad you and I will be married.
