My fiance and I went on a weekend vacation to Fort Bragg (CA) and I thought it was just something for us to get away. At Christmas when I asked him what he wanted he said "just to get away and have a weekend alone", so that's what we did. On January 8th we left our house around 5am and go to Fort Bragg around 9. That first day was just spent relaxing, having fun, going to the beach, etc. It was so nice to be alone with him because we're living with my parents, which is wonderful, but you can never have too much time with your hunny. Our hotel was right on the beach. You just walk out the sliding door in the room and down a short path, and there you are on the beach! Anyway, I knew he was giving me a gift this weekend, because that's why we went. On Saturday we had a nice day at the beach, so on and so forth, and then we enjoyed the most romantic (and may I say the most delicious) dinner ever! Afterward we went back to the hotel, and I had to pinkle. When I came out of the restroom, I couldn't find my at the time boyfriend. I found him on the back porch listening to the sound of the ocean. I offered to get him a sweater, and when he accepted I went inside, put on my sweater, and took him his jacket. When I came back out he was down on one knee holding an open box with a white gold & black diamond ring. He asked me to marry him and I started bawling!!! Of course I said yes or I wouldn't be here. It was so romantic, especially being able to hear the waves of the ocean. I spent the rest of the evening telling every contact in my phone that wasn't a business!

I'm so happy and excited to be planning my wedding. I still can't believe it!
