He was there on a business trip and I had tagged along. Little did I know that he had everything planned for us to get married on the beach!
2 days into the trip, we were looking for shells on the beach at sunset when he called me over to look at one he found. He was crouched down like he was picking it up but when he turned around he was holding a ring box in his hand. There was a little light inside that lit up the ring when he opened it. He asked me to marry him, I said yes and then jumped on him for a hug. :D Luckily the ring didn't go flying into the ocean! We immediately called our parents with the good news and I found out that he had called my Dad hours earlier to ask his permission to propose.
2 days later we were married on the beach with lots of onlookers and well wishers. Such a great day!
The past 14 years have been a roller coaster of fun, loss, change, challenges and love. We have moved 4 times within 2 states, been through the house building process (that will test ya!), after 3 years of trying to have a baby we had Little Man (now 9yrs old), said good-bye to loved ones who passed away including our 2 cat kids (Katie & Gordon) and welcomed our new dog Henry (now 4). It hasn't always been easy but it has always been worth it.
Looking forward to 14 more years of adventures!
