A few years ago Garrett's mom and step dad sold their cabin and in place of it bought a camp trailor and boat. We were really sad not to have the cabin anymore, but we have definitely gotten used to the boat! We love to go to the lake! We like to pack a pole, some yummy snacks and spend the afternoon at the late. There is nothing like being out on the water and forgetting the worries of the world.
Four years ago today I was laying on the beach in Cancun with a group of girls while the boys were all out deep sea fishing. Everyone was saying "Well if he's going to do it, now would be the perfect time and today is our last day here." I told them I really didn't think it would happen because he didn't have a ring. I went back to my room with the girls to get ready for dinner and then went to Garrett's room - he wasn't there. (He was up at my parents room asking for my dad's blessing.) He told me that he had to call work. At dinner Garrett didn't eat much. My dad kept making jokes asking him if his tummy was upset or something. I asked him if we could go walk on the beach and watch the sunset since it was our last night there. We excused ourselves from dinner and went to the beach.
Throughout our relationship, Garrett would always ask me "Will you Marry Me?" and I would say "Yes." So when he asked me on the beach I said yes right away just like every other time. This time though, I looked down and saw him on his knee and the rock and I fell to my knees too. I didn't cry all I remember is I couldn't stop smiling or giggling. We went back to where everyone was getting ready for the show they had every night at the resort and everyone knew already! I was so excited. I couldn't wait to start the rest of my life with my best friend by my side.
I love you Garrett. Thank you for everything you do for me. You bring out the best in me and you love me even though I might not be the most graceful person you know. :)
