The Engagement!!!



Chad made the best choice of his life on June 6th in Arenal, Costa Rica...he PORPOSED to me, hahaha ha!!! After 11 years of dating bliss—OK maybe not complete bliss, but at least extreme lust and passion—he made the life altering decision to spend the rest of his life with me, and believe it or not I said YES!

He did it at the natural hot springs at Baldi Hot Springs Resort. After spending three hours lounging in these beautiful jungle springs, he got down on one knee and the rest is history (the picture posted above is the exact lounge chair that he proposed to me on)! True to my nature, I screamed and freaked out for a bit and then couldn't keep my hands off of him while continually staring at the beautiful and HUGE ring on my finger :). We went to a fabulous dinner and shared a celebratory bottle of wine. I was unable to tell anyone until the next day because we had no access to a telephone. It was nice being able to enjoy our first night engaged without any distractions :)! The next day Kevin and Cindy (Chad's parents) arrived and I was more than eager to share the big news. I ran up to Cindy, gave her a big hug and said “hello future mother-in-law”. Needless to say, Kevin and Cindy were ecstatic!

The proposal was the best moment of my life! Imagine Chad on one knee professing his dying love for me, it was surreal. I keep trying to get him to re-enact it but he refuses, so sad! Chad, I love you and can't wait to spend the rest of my life with you! I promise no wedding planning until I get home...just wedding researching :)! Soooooooo happy!!!
