Engagement

Everyone's been asking about what happened on August 5, 2007.....The tale goes like this. Cooper and I had the best day on Sunday. We went to a new church near Kiawah Island called Holy Spirit Catholic Church, then he had planned on going to his grandpa's country house, but we went to Kiawah Island instead. We went to the coffeeshop and played a game of checkers while sipping on coffee, then the phone rang and it was my cousin from India questioning me about when I planned on getting married. He reminded me that I was the last one to be married on my mom's side. He even spoke to Cooper and Coop responded that it's in the process. We decided to go for a walk along a trail at Kiawah (it was 95* or so that day and we were in our church clothes!) it was so hot, we headed back to my house. Cooper asked if I wanted to go kayaking and my response was ....of course! We went down to his parent's house, got the kayaks out, and Cooper packed some wine. We took a different path than usual, and he asked if I wanted to stop on a dock and have a glass of wine. I asked him if he wanted to race me and we sped to the dock. He definitely beat me, but I gave him a run for his money. We sat on the dock and relaxed, then he asked me if I wanted to spend the rest of my life with him. You know my answer. He then slipped this rock on my finger. .............................
