The first wow is Dana and I just signed the lease on a new place. We are moving to the Richmond area (not the bad part/we might get shot at Richmond but a nice area). It's the top floor of a triplex, ~2,000 sqft and has a huge kitched and bay windows that we can see 3 bridges and San Francisco from. The unit was just remodeled last month with brand new, top of the line appliances, granite counter tops, floors redone (carpet and hardwood) and walls painted. The inside is gorgeous. That was Friday.
Wow number 2. On Saturday, Dana and I got engaged!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Dana was down in L.A. for a photo shoot for Speedo. I drove down Friday night after signing the lease. Saturday morning we had plans to go see the aquarium in Long Beach, which just so happens to be across the street from where the 2004 Olympic Trials were held. So, much to her confusion, I drove past the turn for the aquarium and turned into the fairly deserted parking lot that was the temporary competition pool. We got out of the car and I told her how this exact spot, 6 years ago, was where I was standing the first time I saw her. I explained how it will be a spot I will always remember and, now, I wanted to make it a spot she'd always remember. I got down on my knee and she said..."Are you serious right now!?!....YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
We ended up having an incredible weekend, largely thanks to her agent who got us reservations at an amazing restaurant, on the A-list for an exclusive invite-only club and we spent Saturday night in a very nice, classic Hollywood hotel.

Congrats Andy!! Also to Dana we are all excited to meet her one of these days. When I told Caitlin she said "Yea, trip to California!". Grandma said you had the ring made here in Michigan - who did it for you?
Thanks! I can't wait for her to meet the whole family.

Good work! I'll be looking forward to you guys flying us all to the location of your choice to watch the deal go down. :)
Congrats Andy I am so excited for you both. I won't lie I think the thing i'm most excited about is of course seeing you in general since well none of us get to see you much, but mostly I remember when Herb and I got married I said sweet you will finally get to meet my cousin Andy and then you had a swim obligation the day of our wedding so i'm super excited for you to meet my husband and my little angle Mckenna and maybe my step-daughter Ayla if that works out. Well congrats again can't wait to see you and to meet Dana.
