Edmonton, Canada

The ring that I ordered for Nathania arrived a little earlier than anticipated, so I needed to act quickly to carry out the proposal.  To surprise Nathania, I asked our priest Fr. Glenn to send a made-up email, asking us to sign “Form 3” at St. Joseph’s College on the University of Alberta campus (where we go to church for Mass on Saturdays).   Of course there was no form, it was just a clever excuse to go the church chapel while it was still empty and we could be by ourselves.  Having arrived early, we waited in the chapel.  My heart was thumping.  Nathania asked if I was okay.  I quickly responded by saying I was out of shape and that was the reason my heart was beating quickly!

Nervous, I first shared my favourite memories I had of her and us over the course of our relationship so far.  Next, I led Nathania up to the alter in hand to the exact spot where we are to marry next spring.  I mentioned that I spoke to her parents yesterday and received their blessing to marry her.  I took out the box that housed her engagement ring, went down on one knee, and asked Nathania if she would marry me and be my wife.  She said yes!

    #U2 Hard to believe that the 2019 Joshua Tree open #U2 Hard to believe that the 2019 Joshua Tree opener in Auckland, New Zealand was 3 years ago today.

I’m really enjoying Bono’s autobiography #SurrenderMemoir. Incredible perspectives of his upbringing and influences in Dublin.

Last image on this post has a snippet of an IEM recording I took from the Auckland rehearsal on November 3, 2019. New Zealand in a way is In God’s Country.

This song (and album) is the soundtrack to my 2008 summer backpack travels in Egypt, Jordan, and Israel (Jerusalem, of course).

Got a GA ticket for this show - nice to be back after 3 years to be on the floor and on the rail. Was able to get my camera in for these photos.
