My first official post is probably going to be the most exciting! (atleast to me it is! haha)

Right after the Engagement :)

For the past four and a half years we have gone with my family to Capistrano Beach either for a week in the summer or a week in the winter. This year we got to go for Thanksgiving week. Every year on the Friday after Thanksgiving we do our family pictures for our Christmas cards. Since we had to leave the beach today, the day after Thanksgiving we decided to do our pictures earlier in the week. Who would have thought that these family pictures that were about to be taken would be the second best day of my life. (The first best day of course was the day that Lexi was born:) ) Eric and my dad had it all planned out and I had no idea what was coming. My mom, dad, Lexi, Heather, Kenny, Eric and I all walked across the bridge to the beach. Earlier in the day my dad noticed that there was a big piece of driftwood right on the beach and told me that it would be a good prop for pictures, so that is where we were headed. My dad snapped a few pictures of Eric, Lex and I and then we waited for sunset to take more pictures. While we waited we just walked around the beach. When sunset came we walked back to the driftwood and my dad took more pictures of all three of us. Lexi started to get antsy and there was a lady walking her golden retriever so Lexi's attention span for pictures was gone and straight on to the dog. That dog that had my whole family's attention except for Eric, my dad and myself. We were still taking pictures. I asked Eric if he wanted to sit next to me on the piece of driftwood and he just looked at me and said he was going to kneel down, meanwhile I am thinking to myself..."If you kneel down my dad isn't going to be able to see your face and I am going to look like a giant sitting up on this log." and then he said it..."Teresa, Will You MARRY ME?" and all I could say was "Are you serious?! Like really, really?" and down came the tears not full blown crying, but there were tears. He told me he couldn't wait to spend the rest of his life with me and those few words made me the happiest girl in the world!

Thanks to my daddy for capturing this special moment
