I typically take the December break off (here in NZ, that's when the 'big' summer break is all around), but I took a little longer this time for a very special reason: I got engaged! Laura and I have been together for 7 years, and we finally decided to tie the knot. You can watch the video above to see the proposal moment! We went up to the Marlborough sounds with a couple of friends and she had no idea.

We have this little fairy tale book about our relationship. I've been updating it year after year with stories from our time together, and I used the final chapter to propose to her. You can hear part of that letter in the video itself.

I'll be swinging back into fulltime work on Monday. As a note, I have been doing some work, but it's been short story writing. I submitted a flash fiction piece of 900 words, finished a short story called Three Kinds of Silence about a billion year old entity learning to communicate with a human, and I've been submitting stories all around. Soon, 2 of my stories will be published and I'll be able to share them here with you, and here's hoping that I'll be able to share many more!

Stay nerdy,

Tim
