    Default Fort DeSoto proposal

    I doubt that anyone has noticed my recent absence from the forums, life has been incredibly crazy over the last couple months and it's eliminated any free time I've had to pursue my photographic interests. Mercifully it's been a 'good' type of crazy. Two weeks ago I successfully defended my doctoral dissertation, which means I'll be graduating with my Ph.D in a couple weeks after 5 long years of being a dirt-poor graduate student. This weekend I proposed to my girlfriend and we are now happily engaged and will get married sometime next year. I popped the question after watching the sunset at Fort DeSoto North Beach. I don't think I could have picked a better place in the world to propose, Fort DeSoto was already my favorite place, now it has an even more special place in my heart. Here is a photo of she and I that we took just a few moments after the proposal.

    EDIT: I don't know why the smiley faces and other junk are showing up.... I tried deleting it but it keeps reappearing after submitting the message.
