This is real life.

AUSTIN, Texas - The past few weeks have been surreal (a bit of a blur, really); because, I can finally feel my life coming into focus a little. I'm in love. And, if you take one look at another social networking website (which shall remain unnamed), you'll know why this picture is significant.


That's right. This is Katie and she is now my fiance. Cute (I know). Awesome (I know). Finally (Tell me about it!). To save some of the questions later on and to make sure I have some sort of coherent record to point folks to, here is the summary of how we met from my point of view:
Katie moved to Austin, TX a few months ago from Boston, MA. She had visited Austin previously and, although she felt like she should be here, Katie wasn't too excited to start anew in the Lone Star State. She had a bunch of friends in Boston that she was leaving behind and no immediate job to begin once she arrived. However in true Katie style, she followed the promptings she received, packed up her stuff, and road tripped down to Texas with a good friend. 
While attending church on that first Sunday in Austin, Katie and her friend overheard me giving some sort of announcement from the pulpit. Katie was almost hooked. Ha! Although, it wasn't until the next day that we actually met.  
As luck would have it, Katie and I also attend the same gym here in Austin. She spotted me working out in the morning (That's right) and then introduced herself to me at a church function that Monday evening. That's when I was hooked. Ha ha. How could I not be? She said that she noticed me at the gym (man translation: "I liked what I saw at the gym this morning"), she wanted to say Hi or something (man translation: "I could be interested in going on a date with you"), and, she is beautiful (man thought: "get her number immediately, you fool"). 
Pretty great, right? And that's just the beginning of the story, my friends. It's getting late, so, I should probably save the rest of the story for another post.

Remember that one time I felt prompted to move to Provo and didn't want to but did anyway and then ... absolutely nothing happened? Bahahaha. So.my.life. Congrats again, friend. Heart your guts.
