And so it all begins...

we are engaged!!!!!

this is my first blogging experience, but vicki (my future mother-in-law =)) suggested this to keep all families in touch and up to date!

so here's how it happened...

stephen and i went to orlando to "help steph move a washer and dryer" and to have a nice weekend getaway. saturday i was told that steph was getting us into the park then had to work all day. so stephen and i spent all day at mgm and epcot and then planned for a nice evening out. on the way to dinner stephen said he couldn't get us reservations anywhere so we would spend some time at downtown disney. but after walking around for a few minutes he broke the news that we actually did have reservations at a very nice restaurant, the california grille. little did i know that was something to throw me off and we actually went to the grand floridian resort (the most beautiful place ever...a resort with a beach, perfect!). after walking around and enjoying our surroundings stephen told me we had real reservations at citricos, a beautiful restaurant in the hotel. so we had the most amazing meal ever and thanks for perfect timing, we walked out onto the beach and watched the fireworks from magic kingdom. to make it more romantic we were the only two people on the beach. so after about a 20 minute fireworks show, stephen got down on one knee and popped the question!! it was a perfect night, nothing could have made it better! not to mention my ring is GORGEOUS! =)

after i composed myself, stephen told me that steph actually was not working all day but following us around the parks documenting our day and got the proposal on video. (steph, you are awesome!!)
