Yes!

Matt and I got engaged By the Side of the Road in Harrisonburg, VA. Somehow, he did manage to surprise me. It was a perfect weekend, and I still can't believe it happened! We usually do a B&B trip every year around Christmas before Matt heads to Indiana, so when he said he was planning a little getaway, I wasn't too suspicious. He kept talking about how we were going to do a big beach trip somewhere fun in January, so I thought that may be the time. I had a killer work week and didn't see or talk to him too much, so my guard was down. We enjoyed a nice dinner Friday night after work in Harrisonburg (he wasn't showing signs of nervousness at all).


The Bed and Breakfast was very impressive and we had our own little cottage complete with a fireplace, vaulted ceilings and a spa. He was very prepared and had packed everything we would need on a weekend away, water, diet coke, wine.. Once we settled in, he grabbed both of my hands and started telling me about the first time he saw me..aww). After the big question was asked and I provided the proper response, Matt brought out the champagne, chocolate covered strawberries, flowers (tulips of course)...the works.



And the ring is amazing, beautiful, more than I could have ever imagined (and so sparkly)!

We had a really relaxing weekend in Harrisonburg and managed to hit a few local spots. The B&B delivered a breakfast basket every morning to our doorstep. It was so cool. We left Sunday morning in the middle of a wonderful winter wonderland, which made for a nice backdrop for a few photo opps. Now let the planning begin...


Oh, and thanks to Cashdollar for the sweet blog tribute!

Yea!!! What a lovely write-up and wonderful pictures from your big weekend. Although, I can hardly see your face behind that rock on Matt's shoulder and the blinding glare in my eye. :) Congrats, again!!!
