Andrew and I are ENGAGED!





Andrew suggests on Friday night at 12:00am that we go to Charleston the next morning. I am ALWAYS up for a roadtrip, so I agreed! Drew says he will book a hotel in the morning before we leave. We get up bright and early to leave and Drew "books" the Francis Marion Hotel for us to stay in.  We arrive in Charleston at lunch time and have a delicious lunch at East Bay Deli (our FAV).  Then, we drive around for a while.  Once we decide to check in to our hotel, Drew pulls in front of the Market Pavilion Hotel NOT the Francis Marion!  "What are you doing?", I ask.  He replies, "Checking in".  Of course I am elated because Market Pavilion is my FAVORITE hotel EVER!!!!!  We check in and head to the rooftop bar for some drinks in the sun and then walk around town for little bit.  At 6:15 we have another delicious meal but this time at an adorable little restaurant, Magnolia's.  We spent the evening swinging by the water and back at the rooftop bar.  It was a PERFECT day and PERFECT evening!

Sunday, we wake up and check out.  I by Drew new sunglasses because he brought me on such a GREAT little trip.  Then, we head to the Battery to take some pics.  We walk around and take some pictures of the view.  We sit down on a bench for a while and chat.  Drew thanks me for buying him the sunglasses and says "I have a gift for you too.  It's in my pocket."  I look confused.  He pulls out this box from his shorts pocket and my response is "Shut up".  I open the box and see an amazing ring inside and all I can say is "Is it real?"  Drew asks me to marry him and of course I said "yes"!  It couldn't have been a more perfect proposal!

Andrew is now my fiance!!!!  I can't wait to start planning our wedding!
