The Proposal

On January 8th I drove from LA to Santa Barbara to watch Alex play in a volleyball tournament. I brought my friend Morgan along from my tennis team to have a little getaway from LA and do some shopping with me. Right when we drove into Santa Barbara I drove straight to pick Alex up and he took Morgan and I to lunch and to walk around State street. The whole day he kept mentioning that we needed to go to some clock tower because it was the coolest thing in Santa Barbara. So after shopping, Alex drove around and pulled up next to this pretty white building... me being cold and tired said that we could just look at it from inside the car but he insisted that we go in and take a picture. So we went in and rode the elevator to the top where there was a beautiful view of Santa Barbara. We were standing by the railing looking off into the view and then he asked Morgan to take a pic of us. As she was taking the picture he said, "Wait this picture is just missing one thing...." and right then he knelt down on one knee and asked me to marry him! I had no idea (As you can tell I came straight from tennis and was still in my sweats)... I mean I knew we would be getting engaged within a few months but I didn't even know that he had a ring yet!! And when I saw the ring I could not believe how beautiful it was... He did sooo good:) I am so excited to be marrying my best friend this fall. We still don't have an exact date yet but we are thinking it will probably be this september! I will keep you posted!
