Wow…
I have so many amazing things to fill you in on since I last left for our dreamy trip to the Northern California Coast.
I guess I should start by saying…I’M ENGAGED! Eeeeeeep…I am SO excited I can hardly stand it!
Well, are you ready for the deets on how it all went down…!?!
Here’s the scoop:
It was the 3rd night of our epic trip on the Mendocino Coast, we had spent the past couple days exploring the redwoods, sightseeing, playing on the beach, and eating our fair share of incredible seafood. It was turning out to be such a wonderful trip!
The night of the “Super Moon” arrived…May 5th. The boyfriend decided it would be nice to go watch the moon rise in all its glory while we listened to the waves crash on the beach. I was exhausted, but tiredly agreed. It was the Super Moon after all, on the ocean nonetheless…It was something that could not be missed!
We arrived at a lookout we visited a couple days earlier. I hopped out of the car to see what the whole super moon business was all about. It was beautiful, the last of the sun had just fallen behind the sea, and the moon shone like a spotlight overhead. All the details of the moon were visible, it’s as if it were right there, so close! It was amazing, it was perfect.
That’s when it happened… Ethan scooped me up, took out a sparkling ring, and placed it on my finger. He popped that very exciting question, and I of course…A couple blubbering emotional seconds later replied with a “yes, yes, yes!!!”. He completely surprised me! I didn’t see it coming at all. It was awesome!!! And let me tell you…It’s very hard to surprise me, I’m quite the investigator…
It felt like a dream, and at first I could’ve sworn that indeed it was a dream, and none of it had been real. But, it was very real, and I was engaged!!! Engaged to the person I love most in this world. To the man I have been SO very happy with for 5 great years. He’s my person, my person I turn to with anything and who loves me unconditionally. I am so incredibly lucky to have found him!
I still go through stages where I can’t really believe it. It’s such a pivital moment in one’s life. You never really know what it’s going to feel like. But, I have to say…I am the happiest I have ever been, and I have never been more sure of anything in my entire life.
So, enough of the sappy love talk, and here’s a couple up-close and personal photos of the very gorgeous ring he chose:
I love it! It’s simple and classic, but has a few art-deco touches that give it some personality. The boy did an amazing job picking out the perfect ring, and confessed that he’d been looking for over a year to find “the one”. Now that’s some dedication!
Hope you are as happy as I am!
Stay tuned for photos from our trip and a new sponsor feature coming up soon!
