the proposal.

i am finally back in nashville

so i can tell you all about the proposal!

first of all, we have had a wedding date since november

and it has been SO hard not to tell anyone

but i had to wait until he proposed

here's how it happened:

bennett took me to a state park in dunedin, florida called honeymoon island. once we got there, we ate our packed lunches and walked around on the beach looking for seashells. it was pretty cold, so we decided to walk a nature trail to warm ourselves up. after seeing a bald eagle and five armadillos, we found a nice area to sit where there was a bench looking out to a bay. i thought to myself how perfect it would be if he proposed there, and seconds later he pulled a ring out of his pocket and asked me to spend the rest of my life with him. after several kisses and many tears, I said yes.

so now, on may 21, 2011

i am going to marry the love of my life here

and be the happiest

luckiest

girl in the world
