He Asked... I Said Yes

Derek and I got engaged on Wednesday, October 12, 2011! The week had been so crazy at work and I had been so worried about my Papa who had fallen and broken his hip on Monday. Wednesday night at dinner, Derek mentioned that we should go to the beach to get out of the house and get my mind off everything. I really had not thought much of it because I always LOVE going to the beach at night and it really had been a crazy week.

Later that night we drove out to the beach. Derek wanted to go walk on the pier and look at the beautiful full moon. It was so peaceful and beautiful out. I was just loving every minute of being out there. We just held hands and looked at the ocean and the sky. Derek then asked me the big question. He was so sweet, and I was shaking like crazy. Of course I said yes and we continued to enjoy the beach by walking in the sand and sitting in the swing. It was really a special night that I will always remember.

We have set the date...June 2, 2012 on Tybee Island
