ENGAGED!!

Well, Erin and I got engaged on Wednesday (sorry it's taken me a few days to get this post up, but things have just been crazy!!) He told me we were going to have a dinner on the beach. He had a cooler and when I looked inside the cooler there was a dozen roses and the ring. He tried to get down on one knee, but I was too embarrassed because there were so many people around, so he just kind of sat and asked me to marry him (I said YES, obviously.) Then a limo came and took us out to eat at Anthony's - a restaurant down on the waterfront where we had our first date.

Here's a picture of us right after her proposed (Erin's squinting into the sun...so he looks a bit odd :)!!)

And here's a picture of the ring. We went engagement ring shopping together a few weeks ago and we both really liked this one. Erin went back and bought it later - I love it!!


We've set the date for Saturday, April 7 (the day before Easter.) We know maybe it's a bit weird to have it the day before Easter, but that's the first weekend of my spring break, so then we can have a bit of a honneymoon and we're hopping it actually makes it easier for some people to travel. The wedding will be in Kansas City. Of course, you are all invited and I'll have to get updated addresses!!

We've already starting planning some stuff - lots of fun, but a bit overwhelming at the same time. Thursday was the last day of school, however, so that frees up a bit more of my time. Summer swim team is fully underway, though - we just had our first meet on Thursday.

I hope you all are having a great weekend!!
