I had planned on asking A. to marry me while we were in CA (Yosemite, specifically).
That did’t work out (for obvious reasons), but the logisics were such that I had figured I would probably postpone, but wanted to keep my bases covered.
We had a great afternoon Friday, and I decided what the hell on the beach in Jacksonville, and she said yes!
As my uncle put it blithely, sometimes you have to play the ocean you are dealt.
