The Proposal

I am going to officially start this blog by telling you a short version of how we got engaged. So, Andrew and I started to really like each other at a what you might call, inconvenient time. We started becoming pretty serious and then I had to go to the Dominican Republic for an internship for 6 weeks. Thanks to Skype, we unofficially got engaged.
I hadn't even been home a full day when one night our good family friends, the Fitzgeralds visited. We went to an Indonesian restaurant in honor of my best friend Kristen and then they decided they wanted to go sight seeing at 11 P.M. I was obviously still tired from traveling but gave in.
We were all at the Jefferson Memorial, while I was waiting to hear from Andrew to get out of seeing Harry Potter (he's never even read the books). He finally called at around midnight. We were talking and he was saying things like "I wish I was with you" and I was was all "ya..." So pretty much I wasn't giving him much bait and finally he said, "Well you look good in your jeans and white shirt" and I responded "shut up" and I turned and he was there! (excuse the tan lines)
He walked over to me and we hugged and then he got down on his knee and proposed. I guess I said, "I don't know what to say" which in my head meant "Yes of course, I'm just in shock this is happening because I haven't seen you in 6 weeks and wasn't planning on it for another 2 weeks."
"She said Yes!"
The ring was gorgeous and I loved it. We never went ring shopping or even talked about rings so he picked it all out on his own.
Love.
More Love.
