Some Big (and HUGE) Vacation Highlights :)

After a horrendous day of traveling yesterday (and the night before), Brian and I finally made it home! Our two weeks in Lake Tahoe and San Diego felt like at least a month, and it was the awesomest, most fun vacation ever! We got to do so many neat things! Here are a *few* of the highlights...

We went hiking in Lake Tahoe and saw some amazing views (seriously, pictures don't do it justice!)...

...and then rented 4-wheelers...

...for an overnight camping trip (complete with fire and s'mores, of course!).

Brian and I enjoyed the hot tub on our roof to watch some amazing Tahoe sunsets...

 ...and went to the Barrett-Jackson collector car auction and took a hot lap in a Corvette.

We hopped on a plane and enjoyed the beach in San Diego...

...ate lots of good Mexican food in Old Town (and lots of other good food...and cupcakes!)(and I gained approximately 5 lbs. to prove it)...

 ...went to the San Diego Air and Space Museum...

...took a surfing lesson in La Jolla (and were actually successful in surfing and not just falling!)...

 ...and spent lots of time in Coronado on the beach and at the Hotel Del.

Oh, and this also happened. :)

After a nice dinner in Coronado on June 28th, Brian and I went back to our hotel in Sunset Cliffs to watch a (cloudy) sunset where he proceeded to get down on one knee, show me the most beautiful ring ever, and ask me to marry him! AAAHHHH!

WE'RE ENGAGED! It was totally a surprise, so special and so totally us, and I could NOT be happier! I have known for a long time that Brian was the person I wanted to spend the rest of my life with, and I'm glad he obviously feels the same way. Today is actually our two year anniversary, but obviously we did our celebrating a little early. :)

Some of you who follow me on Twitter already knew this news, and I am so so blessed by all of your well wishes. The outpouring of love and support from our family and friends has been truly overwhelming (in the best way ever)...Brian and I are lucky to have such an amazing group of people who love us! I seriously cannot stop smiling!

I'll try to write out a full post about the whole proposal while it's still fresh in my mind (because that's obviously a super special moment I am going to want to relive and remember forever and ever), but I have a holiday weekend to go prepare for! I'm going to try to do it early next week...in the meantime, have an amazing 4th of July!
