Last weekend my handsome man popped the question! I knew it was coming but I still cried my eyes out like a baby.
On
August 5th David blindfolded me and took me on a long car ride to a
mysterious destination. being the person that I am I fell asleep during
the drive. When we arrived he took off my blindfold and the first thing I
saw was a redwood tree I instantly knew we were at Mount Hermon, the
camp where we first met. We took a little trek down to the creek and as
we turned the last corner I saw a beautiful picnic set up with wine
glasses and flowers. He told me he knew I would be nervous so he had
just packed a light lunch for us which turned out to be cheese,
crackers, sparkling cider, fruit and some junior mints for dessert.
After eating our lunch he opened up a
large laminated map of California for me. on it were numbered stickers
each sticker had an envelope to go with it full of pictures of all the
places we had been together. The last envelope had a little note in it
which told me we were going to take some pictures together. He had the
tripod all set up and told me he was going to set the timer, then he
walked over to me and instead of posing for a picture got down on one
knee. He told me he knew he wanted to spend the rest of his life with me
almost since the moment we had met and asked me if I would spend the
rest of my life with him. I said yes! The camera was taking a video
since he knew I had really wanted it to be video taped.
It's so surreal to be engaged. I
don't feel any different I just feel like myself. However I didn't
anticipate the weight and stress of how serious an engagement is. It's
the first step of pledging the rest of your life to someone else. Kind
of a scary thing not gonna lie.
I feel truly blessed and honored to
be this man's fiance. He is so caring, selfless, godly and responsible. I
could have never dreamed of a better guy. He's got it all.
These pictures are screen shots from the engagement video.
For all of those wondering my ring is a 1960's vintage rings with a platinum setting and gold band. He got it from an amazing etsy seller called
Luxe Deluxe. She has an amazing selection of vintage rings and is always listing new ones!
For the last month Sseko Sandals has been hosting a 30 ways for 30 days challenge. I really wanted to remix my Ssekos a bunch of different ways this year. Sadly because I'm in school from 9am-5pm five days a week and have to wear close toed shoes while I am there I haven't gotten the chance to wear them out that much. However I did get to snap a few pictures of my outfit during the weekend! I came up with my own way to tie them! If you've never heard of Ssekos before check out their story here! You can also read my last post about them here! Sseko is an incredible company developed to empower young woman in Uganda by providing jobs that produce money for them to pursue further education! I cannot rave about these shoes or this company enough! Head on over and buy yourself a pair of these versatile sandals! They are so worth it especially since you can tie them and style them in countless ways!
