After 9 years of dating, spanning 5 countries (Iraq, Cape Verde, Uganda, France, Rwanda), living in 3 cities together (State College, Columbia, and DC), Mike and I are engaged!
The proposal followed a day's worth of some of our favorite fall activities- navigating a corn maze, picking pumpkins, and visiting the monuments.
We started off at Summers Farm in Frederick, Maryland on a gorgeous, clear day.
The one pictures we have of the 4 of us. Our friends Jenny and Luke helped with the set up of the entire day.
Getting lost in the maze.
Mike was trying to get us to hurry up to get back to the monuments during daylight but I was completely clueless. Of course we needed to take the hay ride to go get pumpkins!
Ring pop in the car on the ride back. Little did I know what was coming next!
Mike wanted to create our first night together in DC when we walked around the monuments and ended up talking at the Einstein Memorial for hours. I showed him how you could whisper on one side and hear the person on the other. Unfortunately the government shutdown ruined this idea so we went straight to the Einstein. While I was whispering with Luke, Mike ducked behind the memorial and put on a tie and jacket and swapped places with Luke. I couldn't hear him and turned around and he was standing there with a box in his hand.
And my tongue is still blue from the ring pop in the car...
It was such a fun day with a great ending. We went to Medium Rare for dinner after the proposal and have been giddy since!
