Bling, bling! An actual Tuesday link up!

Two posts in one day? Yes... simply because I need to do one MEANT for a Tuesday. This one comes from 

   If you haven't checked out her blog, you NEED TO! I saw this link up and had to do it! What girl doesn't want to show off her bling or her proposal?  Now, I already had written up my proposal on another blog post but to send you to that link would be torture for you because it was long winded about our California trip and my teaching! So I will cut to the chase and just copy and paste the most important, wonderful part. Mr. Wright (pun intended) proposed on 12/24/10 and all I can tell you is that it was magical. Our wedding will take place on March 17, 2012 and I cannot wait!  Here is our story:

Christmas Eve had to have been my favorite because Kyle took me to San Francisco! I have been many times before and it still is my most favorite place to go to, I love it. We spent our time on Pier 39 this time (last time was the Golden Gate Bridge area at the Disney museum!). We just walked around looking at all the cool things and spending time warming up in the shops!

(Disney Museum of course!!)

 

Only in a big city... and of course I laughed and took pictures.... I might be going to hell. 

There was the COOLEST Christmas shop there and of course I spent way too much time in it! I could have done some serious damage to my bank account if I stayed in there any longer than I did. I wanted to buy this WHOLE Christmas village set. Gorgeous.

We ate these bread bowls that were just amazing. Kyle had clam chowder which I actually liked which was surprising. 

Biggest tree ever.... I think I took about 20 pictures of it. I was amazed and awestruck! 

Just taking advantage of one of the amazing views of Alcatraz!

From here, we walked around the bay, looking at seals, the Golden Gate bridge and everything else the dock had to offer. We kept walking and I am pretty sure we ended up and the next pier because all of a sudden we were alone next to this really old trolley station looking thing. It had a gorgeous view of the city. It was sunset so everything was glowing and just beautiful. Very romantic! It was so quiet away from all the tourists and so pretty because it brought us lower and closer to the Golden Gate Bridge and Alcatraz. It was at this moment, sunset, city, bay and all that Kyle got down on one knee and asked me to marry him!!!!!!! It was absolutely AMAZING! I don't think I could have asked for anything more perfect. He did everything I dreamed of! The moment being romantic, asking my dad first, asking my best friend for advice, and my biggest dream of all... asking me on Christmas Eve. I still can't get over it all happening. I am engaged now! How weird is that?! A good weird though :) I feel a little bad though because I just kept saying "Are you serious!?" instead of just screaming YES! I of course said yes eventually but I was just caught off guard!

My beautiful most perfect ring. Sometimes I can't help stare at it!

 Our first picture as an engaged couple!!! This was Christmas day and I don't think I have to mention that we were extra happy this Christmas.



P.S. I have a new blog name and URL! Much better in my opinion.
