Our secret's out.

Yesterday, Doobie and I headed out for a day of exploration. After some negotiation, we turned toward the coast without premeditation, to the location of our first date. There, on a windy outcropping of rock over looking the Pacific, I asked the girl I love to marry me.

She said yes!

After meandering back up the coast, we spent the night in Sebastopol talking to family and having dinner with her folks.

I had had a little too much coffee throughout the day, so I woke up at 2 AM unable to sleep. So most of today was spent taking it easy and basking in the unseasonable sun.

We didn't get around to coffee until this evening, and after being patient through the picture process, the coffee (new crop of screen-dried natural from Fazenda Cachoeira) ended up cool to drink.

Look for the whole story on dogmilque in the coming days.
