I'm ENGAGED!


the next day at my place






just after he proposed


the picnic spread, notice the heart shaped rice krispy treats . . . he's a hopeless romantic and I love it!





the view from our picnic blanket, not bad for Southern CA (not quite Alaska but pretty for a desert land)


the picnic spread he planned


a little sparkling lemonade with a sparkling diamond ring!


a ring shot


the post proposal tail-gate target practice



Jonathan and Stephanie the couple I am living with temporarily (they are incredibly hospitable)


Our first engagement present from Jonathan and Stephanie


This past Saturday Ben and I spent the day together in the mountains and he proposed!! The story is great and I want to do it justice but life has been crazy so I will post pictures now and fill in the details later for those who have been asking to see the RING. It is AMAZING!!! I am SO happy! I am getting MARRIED! The wedding will be in Alaska on June 27th for those who want to mark their calendars. :)

Yay! I'm so excited for you both. I put the date on the calendar, so you better not go and turn it into some sort of "exclusive" thing like your brother's event ;)
