Eleanor is my wonderful fiancée as of January 8, 2005. She was born and raised in North Carolina (ie. North Carolina River Girl) and is still trying to figure out how she ended up with a Colorado boy. Here we are walking out to the pier at her river house on Labor Day weekend. Four months later I got down on one knee on this same pier and asked her to marry me.

Here she is on her first ever trip to Colorado - two miles high in Rocky Mountain National Park on Memorial Day weekend..

And again in Colorado for Christmas, 2005.
