He liked it so much he put a ring on it...

Well I'm sure all of you have heard by now that Scott and I are getting married. He finally put a ring on it! The ring is gorgeous and we couldn’t be more thrilled to be starting our lives together.

Attention west coast peach readers…. I need help with ideas for reception site venues. I want something off the beaten path that is indoors as we are probably getting married in August which is just about the hottest month of the year. I have some ideas right now and my mom is going to see some places this week, but new ideas are always welcome!!

Last weekend was fabulous as you can imagine but we also did a lot of other things before the proposal. Saturday morning we went on a semi-early morning walk on the beach (Scott had ring in his pocket but too many people around). The beach was crowded due to a surfing competition which was kind of cool to see. After the walk we had a fabulous brunch at Crème de la Crepe. It was the jam!! My crape had tomatoes, avocados, cheese and lettuce. Awesome!!! One downside we sat outside which is on the sidewalk of the restaurant and according to city code they can’t serve alcohol to their outside seating because there isn’t a railing. I thought that was crap! I wanted some champagne! I digress…

In the afternoon we of course watched Auburn beat Georgia. I had about 5 heart attacks during the game. After the game we went on another walk on the beach to watch the sunset (again ring in pocket and again too many people). That night we went to a party at Scott’s buddy’s house. There was an ice/shot luge of which I participated in. 

Sunday morning we got up and went to church. We have been trying to go for a month now and we finally made it. There was a couple who sat behind us that just moved to Cali from Atlanta. We thought this was awesome! So after church we chatted and will definitely get together at some point. Small, small world. That afternoon Scott had work to do so I went straight to the beach to get my vitamin D in.

When I got back from the beach Scott wanted to run some errands then go for a walk on the beach. (at this point I'm like how many walks on the beach are we going to go on this weekend) I say yes only if he comes with me to the gym to sign up.  So we both end up signing up for Gold’s Gym. It’s a huge facility and I think we are going to like it. I need to get wedding ready!

So we finally go on this walk on the beach and on the way back towards the house (still on the beach) he gets down on one knee. Now at this point I am in total shock. Kid you not I don’t say anything but shut up! OMG! for like 15 seconds. Scott said he was nervous that I wasn’t going to say yes. I'm like power walking back to the apt so I can call people on the east coast before it gets too late. I do catch my family and they were so excited. Because I couldn’t talk to a lot of people that night and the excitement of getting engaged I did not sleep at all that night!! Still recovering from the lack of sleep.

I will probably start a little wedding blog once we set a date and what not so be on the look out for that.

Attention 90210 watchers:  If you watched the latest 90210 episode you have seen where Scott and I live. The scene was about 2 seconds from our apt. It was the scene when one of the characters is driving a red hot Bentley at the beach. Scott had actually seen the Bentley parked in a parking lot near our apt a month and a half ago. There seem to always be crews filming near us. I'm not sure why they like our little city but it’s fun to see!

Can't wait to see everyone in about a month!
