The Proposal

On January 12, 2011 Nick took me to a bed and breakfast in Jenner, Ca. It was a cute little cottage on the coast, where the Russian River meets with the ocean.

We were sitting on the divan in front of the fireplace, with nothing to distract us from enjoying life and each other. Nick stood up from the bench and my first reaction was to ask, "What are you doing?" (I was sooo warm and comfortable!) And he got down on one knee, pulled out the ring and said, "I'm proposing to you. Will you marry me?" I stared at the ring (it was sparkly!), and I guess I was quiet for a long time because Nick asked again. I, of course, said yes! We had two more days at the bed and breakfast, with no cell reception, no TVs, no other people, just each other.

I am glad we got to spend the first 50-some hours of our engagement alone together in such a romantic setting.

She has such a sweet hand that it makes the ring look good.
