Beautiful surprise..."She said YES!"

I know by now most everyone has heard the news. But since this is my first post into a blog ever, I felt strange not mentioning that first.

Dan proposed to me on the edge of Figueroa Mountain on December 2nd, 2007 after an amazing weekend of riding Motocross at Castillo Ranch track.



This was the spot we had had one of our first dates in 2005 and Dan wanted to re-enact it. Only instead of sandwiches and drinks we had a proposal. Yes, I was completely and totally surprised...and of course, delighted. We had finished riding and in retrospect now I know why Dan was stalling in getting going. We were headed to the Cold Spring Tavern for bbq tri-tip sandwiches and I was starving. When he told me we were taking a "short detour" all could think about was whether or not I should have a snack and risk ruining my appetite for the tri-tip or not.




Needless to say after we walked out to the edge and enjoyed some pre-sunset lighting against the mountains and he got on one knee and proposed... I wasn't hungry anymore. It was a beautiful surprise. It was perfect and sweet and everything a proposal should be. I said yes!




Us at the Cold Spring Tavern later on that night... after our tri-tip sandwiches!

Outside the Cold Spring Tavern by the fire after the band was taking a break. What a great end to a perfect weekend and a perfect day!
