>The Engagement
>I’ve decided to start a blog for everyone (near and far) who’s interested in staying up to date with our wedding planning.
Seeing as we’ve been taking our sweet, sweet time, I should probably give you all a little recap…
On June 6th of last year, the day before my 23rd birthday, Courtney dragged me out of bed and made me go on a run with him down on the National Mall. He decided that he’d like to take a picture or two of the Lincoln Memorial and I had sore quads and was happy to take a break to stretch. Next thing I knew, he was down on one knee asking me to marry him, and I was telling him “of course”.
We got some nearby tourists to take this picture of us, looking our very best:
“Coincidentally” both of our families were in town visiting for my birthday and the Bark Ball, so we got a warm reception when we got home and got to spend a wonderful evening surrounded by our family and friends and even got to dress up and get some non-sweaty engagement day pictures!
