engaged

last year i proposed to my amazing girlfriend the day she returned from a month long trip to india. i had spent the weeks leading up to her return realizing that i wanted to marry her & trying to scramble & plan a surprise proposal. it was completely rushed & i was about 50% sure that she wasn't going to be ready yet, but it didn't matter. I finally knew that she was the only person I ever wanted to be with for the rest of my life and i needed her to know it. so i got a ring that i felt she would love & slapped together a proposal video journal and went for it.

turns out she wasn't quite ready.

this last year of waiting together for the right time has been a complete gift. I'm so glad i'm going to marry someone who will always be honest with me, even when it's incredibly hard to do so.

that's right! last week she returned the favor & proposed to me in such a fun, creative, meaningful way. a scavenger hunt to several landmark moments in our relationship, ending in a proposal & surprise engagement party with our church community & family. i was so blessed by every moment. so now i'm officially engaged to my beautiful fiancé!

i'm the luckiest.
