Our Engagement!

We finally got around to getting some pictures loaded on the computer, but there are still more coming that are on the camera. Well...Mark proposed on New Year's Eve and it was so amazing! For those of you who haven't heard the story...

Everything was a secret. He wouldn't tell me anything about the night's events until we reached each destination. The few things I knew were that we were going on a date, I needed to be semi-dressy, and be ready at 5:30. When Mark showed up at my house he had a single long-stemmed rose...gorgeous. Throughout the night we went to many places- our first stop was an ultra-sonic rock concert. Pretty cool and different- they were a 20 person cover band that played classic rock songs. Our second stop was the Dallas Chophouse- this was so neat because it turned out to be their first official night open! We had a 4-course meal and some extra entertainment when a guy next to us strangely offered breath mints to everyone and then ran out on his tab!

Our last stop was at the Dallas Renaissance Hotel in downtown Dallas. He snuck into the room earlier that day and decorated it with roses and petals everywhere- it was gorgeous!


We also had a perfect view of Downtown from our window. We were watching fireworks from the window right at midnight (so romantic!) when Mark reached into the curtain and pulled out a BOX!


He got down on one knee and gave his sweet little speech. And I, of course, said YES!
