We're Engaged !!!

HE PROPOSED, SHE SAID YES!! 12/15/2006

So, here's how it happened!!!

Chadd talked to Melina (my boss) and asked if she would let me off early from work Friday (yesterday). Melina called and told me she was giving everyone 1/2 off to go shopping for c-mas (which, she did last year too). Chadd and I had lunch plans, so he picked me up from the ofc and said we had to go to Walmart to pick something up for the flight school... (said it was a far one 'cause noone here in the metroplex had it).

So, we're driving.. and driving.. and driving. I'm griping (ha, so me) 'cause I needed to get some shopping done and couldnt believe he was taking me to such a far walmart w/ him on my 1/2 day off.... haaaaa.

I think about 2 hours in, we finally saw a walmart so I pointed it out and he said, "oh, we're not going to that one".. Hhmmm.. so, then my mind starts wondering?!? "are we going skidiving for c-mas?? where the heck is he taking me?"

We drive into Houston and then Galveston. We are driving down the main beach strip and we see a dolphin statue we had taken pics by a few years back... he pulls over and we get out to walk on the beach. We're walking on the beach, walking along the rocks that go out into the ocean, and as we start walking back along the rocks.. he was walking behind me and took my hand and said "Baby, I have one question before we leave".. he got on one knee and said "Babygirl, will you marry me?" It was the most perfect moment in my life!!!

Everyone knows the beach is our favorite place to be.. so, he took me 5 hours away just so he could propose to me on the beach! Could not have wanted it any other way... We are SO excited and both cannot stop smiling.

Here's some pics from our engagement.. most of them didnt turn out :o(

We cannot wait to become husband and wife, we're best friends and soulmates for life!!
