Yes, after many months of dating/courtship, Annette and I are finally engaged - officially.
The truth is we had been talking about marriage for some time, and at one point even had tentative ideas of getting married in March. But, around December we settled on a late spring wedding and started getting serious about it.
We first went ring shopping in November, and Annette found what she thought she wanted. But, as the weeks passed those ideas changed, and we went shopping a couple more times through the holidays and into January.
The ring was finally purchased about a week ago at Sierra West with the help of the famous Bro. Bowen, John and Michelle's former bishop, a current counselor in my bishopric, and VP of the company.
I officially proposed on Thursday, and we made requisite announcements throughout the weekend.
Originally we had planned on June 6, but that has now been bumped back a week to May 30. We will be getting married in California, either in the LA Temple or the Newport Beach Temple. After a honeymoon to Lake Tahoe, we will return to Utah, hold an open-house on June 6, and be done with it.
Of course I will be moving to Saratoga Springs, which will increase general commute times, but is overall something I'm looking forward to.

I guess that even though Devon's not working for the paper much any more, the reporter in him is still alive and well!!
