Bling, bling, She got the ring!
See more pictures: Our Engagement
Last night, at just after 9pm in downtown Dallas underneath the large Christmas tree, I proposed to marry Kora Johnson, and she said "yes"!!
It was an unbelievably perfect night. I took my unsuspecting future bride to dinner yesterday evening, and at the end of our meal, our waitress delivered to us a poem from "Nick" who sent us on a treasure hunt in downtown. We walked to a series of locations, directed by additional clues, which involved games, roses, custom fortune cookies, presents, fantastic views, and laughter. She thought it was all part of a amazing Christmas present, until I finally produced the diamond from one knee. There I told her for the very first time that I loved her, and asked her if she would be my bride. After, we enjoyed stories with our families and close friends, many of whom helped me put it all together.
Most of all, I love my sweet Kora who is an incredible woman, a treasure to me and a huge blessing from God! She exemplifies so many amazing qualities in her life from which I stand to learn: joy, care, compassion, graciousness, forgiveness, passion and a heart surrendered to Christ. I will also be the proud father of her 7-year-old son Alex, who is one of the best kids I know.
We are not unaware that marriage is incredibly challenging, but we know that through His strength we will be able to faithfully love one another. We give Him all our thanks and praise.
Our marriage will most likely be sometime in the summer of '08.

A Few Updates
Still not having much time for updating the old webpage, but I do have a second to list off a few bullets of what's been going on. You will notice that there has been some activity in the photo albums which I will point to!
- My awesome 29th birthday party, Johnny P's Hoe Down, which my bros threw for me in July
- One of my best friends' weddings!! I have pics from the bachelor party, Keith's Man Challenge Olympics Ben and me threw for him, and from his engagement party. Check out this hilarious video Chris made!!!
- Lastly, but not least, I've been busy dating a sweet girl named Kora. I need to get some pictures on here.

Jplehmann.com Domaination
I have noticed that jplehmann.com has scored the #1 position on Google now for the keywords "john lehmann". Just under a year ago (10/10/06 to be exact), I began paying attention to my ranking and tracking it. Not long after that I had climbed to the top 10. Earlier this year I noted myself consistently at about the 3rd position. It appears that I've presently got the top spot. Good Google.

On a comical note, on 8/29/07 my friend Ben Caldwell's sister found her brother's picture on Google images!! She writes, "I don't know, that's whats soooo funny and random about it. I was looking for a funny workout picture, and up pops you doing the "running man"... hahahahahaha. What are the chance of that happening????" (note: Kelly is hilarious in general)
I just checked today, and Ben's picture (from 1/26/2007 blog) is currently owning the #1 position under these keywords (funny man at the gym).

Have Been Busy!!
Too busy these days to blog... just about... But I have been queueing up blog ideas. If i had a WYSIWYG editor perhaps I could punch them out as they come along. I'll try to start dumping the ideas without spending as much time on it so I can keep up.
Wooden Spoon Game
This was sent to me on 4/13. It's the funniest video I've seen in a long time.
Try this at home.
