A Dream Come True

Over and over I said, "Pinch me, is this real or am I dreaming" as I looked down at the most beautiful engagement ring I have ever seen and Brian's big smile. This was by far the best weekend I have ever had with a surprise trip to my favorite Ocean House Hotel in Watch Hill, Rhode Island. What I thought was going to be a day trip to a winery and a little sweatshirt and beach time turned into a magical and luxurious weekend with a proposal to die for on the balcony of the most beautiful hotel in the world (in my book)! 

I am just so happy that I can spend of the rest of my life with Brian - he is really the most beautiful person i have ever known, inside and out.  Here are some pics of our weekend!!

i love this picture! 























Let the planning begin!!!
