Hello my fellow bloggers...

I have some very exciting news to share.

Last weekend James and I took a lil’ vacation to visit old friends in Long Beach.  Yes, you heard me right, we drove 7 hours each way on Labor Day weekend in holiday traffic. Joyous times. J

Little did I know it would all be worth it come Sunday (9.2.12) afternoon.  James and I decided to go to Sunset Beach to collect some seashells for Tuck’s Tank (our turtle). Wealways  loved going to Sunset Beach when we lived in Southern California because the beach was less congested and very clean.  We had been walking for about 30 minutes when James called me over to a spot in the sand saying that he had found something. He began to dig and there appeared a black box, not just any black box though. Right there he got down on one knee and said, “Would you marry me?” I started to cry and said, “of course I will.” I always dreamed this day would come none the less it was completely unexpected. J

James and I have had our eye on one another for quite some time, but always knew we wanted to wait until the right time! Looks like that time came. We are looking at about a 1 and half engagement so that all the family in Ireland can properly prepare.

Let the wedding planning begin! J
