WE GOT ENGAGED!

Yesterday, I got the best surprise of my life up at our favorite hiking trail in Torrey Pines. The love of my life got down on one knee and asked me to be his forever, and I'm so thankful to God for bringing him into my life! Stephen somehow coordinated everything without giving me the slightest inclination of what was about to happen- He had 4 friends videotaping and taking pictures, and our families hiding in the bushes waiting for the perfect moment to jump out and congratulate us!

We'll be posting a full video tomorrow showing the whole proposal, but until then I just couldn't wait to share our exciting news and some of our favorite photos capturing the moment!

Stephen had planned to propose at this gorgeous spot overlooking Torrey Pines State Beach, while our families hid in the bushes waiting to surprise us after he popped the question!

His friends had been kicking people out of this popular overlook to make sure we were alone for the proposal! 

As we sat on the bench overlooking the ocean, Stephen had my younger brother Austin sneak behind the bench and drop off the ring. As I turned to see who had run behind us, Stephen got down on one knee. When I turned back around I saw my future husband looking up at me with the biggest smile on his face.

 Before I even registered what had just happen, both our families ran out from the bushes and surprised us. Any chance I had left of not crying flew out the window.

This was the most amazing moment of my life so far. Thank you to our families for making it so special, to our friends for all the support, and to Joe, Mikey, Saveen and Brandon for capturing these moments in picture and video.

And last, thank you to my fiancé. Thank you, not only for proposing to me in the most romantic and thought out way, but for just being you. Thank you for letting me experience your cute quirks every day for eternity.
