It has already been a year!!!

Wow, I can't believe how fast this last year has passed by! September 28, 2008 was a day I will never forget because it was the day Rocco got down on one knee and asked me a very important question "Will you Marry Me?"

Let me provide a little recap of the engagement day :)

So Rocco asked me if we could go away for one day for our seven year anniversary so I thought that sounded like fun because we have never gone away like that. So he was really secretive about where we were going but he told me what to pack and what time to be ready! We arrived at our destination, the Pierpont Inn in Ventura, and decided shortly after to go have some lunch in downtown Ventura. As I think back Rocco seemed a little anxious during lunch, but I was completely oblivious about what was about to happen.

We returned to the Pierpont and our cottage was ready, yes a cottage...so cute!

We got ready for dinner which Rocco told me was going to be at the restaurant at the hotel, but to my surprise when I walked out the front door there was a gazebo decorated with rose petals, candles and twinkle lights and Rocco said, "that's where we'll be having dinner tonight!" I was completely shocked and when we sat at the table the menu's had our names on them and it was filled with all my favorite foods as options.

Once we finished eating, Rocco reached under the table and pulled out a pretty box and then asked the BIG question! I was truly taken by surprise and of course I said YES! He picked out a gorgeous ring (we never went ring shopping together :) !) He even arranged for our parents and some of our friends to be there to greet us right after!
That day Rocco made me the happiest girl in the world and he continues to do so every day we spend together! I love you forever Bub, love your Cutie :) XOXO
