Finally, a non-zombie game related post!
On April 1, the love of my life and I are going to get married. The holiday from that point forward will officially be called “April Fools in Love Day” (I’m writing my congressman and everything).
We sent out an evite for the party on 4/4, if you didn’t get it, it’s probably because we don’t like you. Just kidding. It’s probably because we didn’t have your email address. Drop me a line on FB/email/twitter/whatever if you’d like to come.
In the loft!
Mission: Paint is now accomplished. All that’s left is trim work and clean up. Whew.

We really know how to spend a romantic day…
We did more work on THE LOFT!! 
Here are up to date pictures:

There seems to have been some type of mishap:

Dave, Rachel, Jane and I built a large part of Jacob’s new room today! All that’s left is finishing the door, drywall, mudding, patching, texturing, painting, and trim. Wow, that’s a lot left.
Here are some pics of the progress we made:

A few people wanted some more details of the big night.
Jane and I have been talking for a while that this would be the big night, and I knew she was going to say yes (since we we already planning our Vegas wedding), so I figured I had to make some kind of surprise for the evening.
Before our big date, I took the ring up to Dave & Busters and talked to the manager, and we got John, the shift leader at the game counter to help us. He held on to the ring for me until the appointed time. Jane and I had a lovely dinner at On the Border (cheese enchiladas FTW!), and went to D&B, and proceeded to play lots of lame games. We won a bunch of tickets and finally went up to see John. I think I bungled it a bit, because it was clear Jane suspected something. I gave the tickets and said something lame like “What can I get for these tickets???”, and John said, “I think we have something really nice”, and BAM he pulls out the ring. In the plans in my head, I had planned on taking the ring, and going to the traditional one-kneed pose, but in reality, I took the ring, looked into Jane’s eyes and stammered something lame, followed by “will you marry me?”. She said yes, and put the ring on. Yay! First part of the “surprise” was now complete. On to phase two…
Rachel had helped me get some folks together for a surprise engagement party. So, Jane and I were getting a drink at the bar, and in walks this big group of our friends, and all she can see is Dave. And she was all “Did you tell Dave and Rachel to come??”, not yet realizing the full extent of the surprise. When everyone finally gathered around, she turned a bit red and was a little overwhelmed (momentarily). Then, the hugs started (well, no one hugged Nik, but I think he was okay with that). Drinks were consumed, games were played, Pumpkin Bread was gifted, a good time was had by all. Except Rachel, who in spite of being on her deathbed, still came out for the joyous occasion. Thank you so much Rachel with your help in pulling this off, and coming even though you felt like crap. And thanks to everyone else!!!
And they lived happily every after.
The day has finally arrived. One year ago today I met the woman who was destined to become the love of my life. We had a great time on our first date and stayed until Humperdinks closed (on a Thursday night!). Our 2nd date was Dave & Busters, where we really connected, and tonight we celebrated our 1 year anniversary and I asked the big question. Thankfully, she said yes, and a big party ensued. Thanks to all of you that came out. Our anniversary day is now officially over, and our first day as an engaged couple has just started.
Yay us!
If I wasn’t an atheist, I might take the fact that I’m with Jane as proof that there is a God. She is an amazing, beautiful woman who I don’t tell often enough how amazing and beautiful she is.
Here is a picture of me and the most awesomest girlfriend ever:
