For those of you who don’t know, I got engaged this past weekend (May 17th) at Arches National Park in Utah to Miss Erin Starks of Salt Lake City. You can see photos of the engagement trip here.

If you’ve been wondering why I’ve been a bit lax on updating my blog in the past few weeks (okay, months), it’s because I’ve been very much involved in school… and travel to Hawaii… and writing a little book called “Google Apps for Dummies” with my good friend Karl Barksdale on the side.
