After a month layover I am going to start being more diligent in my blogging as there is a lot more "time" on your hands when you are in a city by yourself.
Month of May-Aside from proposing to the love of my life, not too interesting......
Just kidding, I know everyone would be pretty irritated with me if I didn't elaborate on the proposal. As you all know these kinds of decisions don't just happen overnight, well maybe for some people, but it was definitely well thought out. Beginning in April I have been working with my dear Texican friends ( the ican is for you Mike cuz youre a New Mexican, sorry buddy, and the Texan is A.N.D or Lyssers as I like to call her) on finding the perfect ring for of course the right price. Alyssa has a friend named Lil Lauren whose Dad is into the bling bling (diamond) business. After designing a ring on bluenile.com, they were all on the search for the perfect center piece and matching setting. Many phone calls and emails later, we had come to a decision on the perfect ring.
The proposal date was scheduled for May 14 as Lindsey's dad was coming into town the weekend before which gave me the opportunity to talk the future father-in-law into letting me marry his daughter. Not that it was a hard sell, who wouldn't want to marry this mug? JJK. He was very excited for us and gave us his support without any hesitation. So the plan was to go for a hike with the dogs at thunderbird park which was not an unusual thing for the two of us and Lily would have the ring tied to her harness and when we got to the top, I could pop the question. In the meantime I also had my buddy Keith Aceron (KAP Keith Aceron Photography) hike up to the top of hill so that he could document the entire thing with his made photography skills.
Well as everyone knows she said "yes" with a tear in her eyes and the tentative date for marriage is May 12 2012 on the beaches of Ochos Rios, Jamaica.

I am currently externing at a program in the beautiful San Diego, California and Lindsey is in Portland, Oregon.
After one week of being here at the program I am working hard and trying to be a sponge and absorb all the knowledge that I can. I am staying with some cousins for the month who have been more great hosts as they have opened up their home and made sure that I was taken care of. The Morgans consist of Steve, Christy, Randi (19) and Kelli (17) plus whichever friend is over at the time. The reason for the title "the edge" this time is that I was talking to Randi and he mention how weird it is when he goes to the beach and is in the water how he is at the "edge." There is nothing left after the beach for thousands of miles when you look at a map. As I have thought about this it has made me realize that right now is the time in my education to push it to the edge so that I have no regrets and can better prepare myself for the future of residency and getting into the program that I want to. As excited as I am for the future and everything is happening so fast, I am going to enjoy everything along the way.
