I’M ENGAGED!! I couldn’t take it any longer. “Absence makes the heart grow fonder”, and last Saturday I put words into action and asked the one girl who truly understands me to marry me. We plan for an October wedding, more details to come…Below is a picture of where she actually said yes 
I have been in Portland for nearly a month and a half now, if you don’t count the fact I was in Europe for a good portion of May. And I must say, it’s not as fun living in a place by yourself when the love of your life is 273 miles way 
. I love you JornyGirl (Amy)!

One of the main reasons we haven’t posted anything for the last 2 months was because we were in Europe. I know it’s not the greatest excuse, and I know so many anonymous strangers really live vicariously through our action packed blog. (Creepy…yet there is something strangely satisfying publicizing your life). Ah, yes, the main topic, Europe. This was my first trip to Europe, unless you count the day I spent in Frankfurt airport last year traveling to the Middle East, and this was Amy’s 2nd trip. The trip was divided into 4 portions in the so limited timeframe of 10 days. The first portion is our first 2 days in Austria (mainly Vienna), 2 days in Slovakia, 3 days in Czech Republic, and 3 days in Slovakia. My goal is, over a period of a couple of weeks, is to journal each section of the itinerary.
Day 1 - Tuckered Out Travels
Our journey began at the Medford Airport International airport at 7 am. We were to catch a United flight to San Fran, then hop onto the international to London, and then to Vienna. We arrived late at night, around 10pm local time, and 10 hours late from our expected time of arrival. The owner of our Hostel was nice enough to stay late and keep the light on, The Bag and Map, which I highly recommend for any European sojourner traveling through Vienna. Vienna is a very expensive city, and a clean, quiet, and very economic stay is a must. We spent the next day touring the old city center, visiting St. Stephens Cathedral, and eating lunch at a Chinese Austrian restaurant. Later in the evening we went to a concert at the The Kursalon. Realistically there was just too much see of Vienna in one day, and it didn’t help that we were extremely jet lagged. 
Someday, someday, we’re coming back to you Vienna…
