I'm Engaged!

On a recent trip to San Francisco last September, my boyfriend proposed to me after about 4 years of being together.

The city was amazing; my man was amazing.. needless to say, the trip was epic.

On our first night in San Francisco, my boyfriend's cousin invited us to a party happening the next night.  She said it would start at a room in Hotel Monaco downtown and then we'd go drinking and dancing later.  The next day, my boyfriend and I did our tourist activities and headed for the hotel at night.  As soon as we entered the hotel, my boyfriend pretended to go to the bathroom, and his cousin and I chatted for awhile before heading to the hotel room.  When the door opened, instead of seeing a group of people drinking, chatting, and having a good time, I saw a room filled with rose petals, candles, dim lighting, music playing in the background, and my boyfriend standing in the middle with a mischievous smile on his face.  I walked in, and he got down on one knee.  The rest is history... :)

A month and a half later, wedding plans are underway, and we couldn't be happier.  We'll be having the wedding on a beach in the Philippines and renting out an entire resort.  We're so ecstatic!

More importantly, I am amazed and feel eternally grateful to be experiencing this kind of love in my life and to have such a man.  He is my rock, my partner.  I can't imagine spending the rest of my life with anyone else.
