Engagement!

Alright...here is the longer version of David and my engagement.

On Monday after a pretty busy day, David and I decided to drive north about a half an hour to go watch the sunset on the beach. Honestly, I was pretty stressed out about some stuff, so I wasn't the most pleasant person to be with. We had gone to that beach a couple days before to go snorkeling with some friends.

We arrived about 30 minutes before the sun was about to set, so we walked around a bit and explored. The beach is surrounded by "jungle" and right off the beach is a bunch of lava rocks sticking outside the water. David kept telling me to walk through the water with him and explore the rocks. A couple times, I thought, why is he being so bossy. =)


After walking around a bit he asked me to dance with him in the water. After dancing for a bit, he told me he had a question for me. He told me later, that when he said that my entire body tensed up. =) Right as he was about to ask me a question, he blurted out that he had dropped something in the water. So for about 3 minutes he had me leaning over looking for something in the water. I kept saying, no you didn't and finally asked him if he dropped my car keys. He said, no it was something smaller. I kept thinking about my dad who lost his first wedding band in the ocean. When I looked up after not seeing anything in the water, he was down on one knee and asked me to marry him. I hugged and kissed him and then realized, I hadn't given him an answer. I said, yes of course. =)

After talking for a few minutes he asked if I wanted to see our photographer. Chris Cohoon, my co-worker had been taking pictures the entire time. That's why David kept telling me to go here and there because he didn't want me to see Chris.

I am so excited to marry this amazing man of God. This entire relationship has been such a crazy God story. From how we met, how we started dating and even now the engagement. Now we can begin the crazy, hopefully fun process of planning a wedding.
