this is where

i feel happy

!

... and we'll walk down the path together

hello!
no, i've not disappeared...
(i'm quite found at the moment)
my heart is leaping to share some news...

Patrick and I are ENGAGED!!!

his proposal was not only romantic and thoughtful;
it was a surprise as well!

these are a few pictures of the place where Patrick asked
to spend the rest of our lives together
and i said "YES!" (5 times... just to be clear) ;)

... unbroken ...

i am grounded in this moment.
reaching out
together

passing suggested boundaries
which beckon us to challenge our conceptions;
our fears
and our hopes


wherein life awaits
tall and elegant
gentle
unbroken

apple-grass gazes punctuate
this atmosphere
opening our lungs, eyes, and sure-steady hearts
to accept these gifted times
