Billy had known since the first trip to Kenzie's favorite hide away, Oceanside Oregon, that he would ask her to marry him someday. 3 years of growing together, finding each other's role in their lives and discovering the true lessons of love, he made the decision to purchase an engagement ring. Concealed at the bottom of his snowboarding boot in the garage (great spot for an important item) he planned to wait till their next visit to Kenzie's family's annual beach bash, which is always at Oceanside. As the day finally rolled around, the family had woken up early to walk the beach at low tide. Just as we were nearing the very end of the beach, Kenzie noticed Billy was on one knee looking in the sand. She walked up to see what he was looking at, and just as he had planned, knelt there, with an extravagent shell his mom brought him from Italy, holding the ring that would signify building the rest of their lives together.
