Just an easy paced run through the Lansbrook neighborhood starting from the Y while Jessica too body combat course inside.
There was a car wash at the Y which worked out well because my car really needed a wash!
Had breakfast with Jessica at a place called "Johnny Grits" where I had some sweet potato pancakes. There was a "Tax Day" protest going on just outside of St. Petersburg College Tarpon Springs campus. Headed back home and we both finished our taxes, then got ready to head back out.
I had booked a couples massage at Essentials Spa. After the massage thought it would be nice to take a walk along the Dunedin causeway and catch the sunset before heading out to dinner at Ozona Blue (the place of our first night time date three and a half years ago).
There was a nice breeze on the causeway and we walked for a bit. Lighting looked really good and we were both dressed nicely for a dinner out. I asked a girl hanging out with her friend if she would mind taking a picture of Jessica and I and she said sure no problem. Took one picture of us but it was kind of backlit, so asked for one more which came out nice. I then asked for just one more picture (trying not to wear out this helpful stranger's patience).
I then got down on one knee in front of Jessica, pulled out the engagement ring and asked her to marry me! (Did my best to say it in ASL (American sign language) based on self teaching from youtube videos).
She said yes! My impromptu film crew screamed a little and some passers-by cheered and clapped behind us (Styx "Come Sail Away" was playing in the background just by chance).
After soaking it all in and watching the sunset over the water, headed to Ozona Blue for dinner.
So, one more step in this journey which has started (over 3 1/2 years ago)/stopped/and restarted over a month and a half ago.
