On Sunday July 24th, 2011 I got engaged to the most amazing man in the world.
On Sunday, Ken told me he wanted to take me to Mt. Diablo for a little picnic. We drove up the mountain and found a picnic table secluded in the trees. After a special picnic we walked to the edge to look at the view. After a few minutes Ken suggested we take some pictures (which was a little out of the ordinary because usually I am the one asking for all the pictures- but I didn't think twice about it!)

Before the proposal. I had no idea what was coming! |

Both of us before. |

After we took these pictures (and I am soo glad we did) he walked me back to the picnic table and popped THE question! It was the most special, indescribable, touching moment of my life & it will always be a memory between just the two of us. I am the luckiest girl in the entire world! I even start to tear up now thinking about it. *sigh*

Ken took this picture of us after he asked me. He has the biggest smile & I still have tears streaming down my face. |
After we spent the next hour or so just the two of us on the mountain. Then we headed to our parents houses to share the good news.
| Right when we walked into my parents house. |
My high school sweetheart is going to be my husband, and that...is perfect!





Bahhhh I love you two!
ReplyDeleteHow funny is the before vs. after engagement photo? Your guys' smiles are like 100% bigger after! LOL. I thoguht it was so cute when Ken said his face hurt from smiling so much all day.
Nice rock on your finger! Omg that's gonna take some getting used to you. I bet you'll get a tan line like Natalie. :P

Also, the only thing more exciting than being engaged is being engaged at the same time as my sister/best friend! I am so happy that we get to share in all of this together! Let's keep this trend going and be sure to plan our pregnancies at the same time too? Okay?! {Duh!}
