Two days before my 30th birthday, we went to my parent's camp on Long Pond to celebrate the 4th with family. I knew his mom, my mom, my dad, my grandfather, my great grandmother and my aunt were going to be there with us, but when we arrived my little sister and future brother-in-law surprised me by driving all the way from New Hampshire. I thought for just my birthday - how wrong I was! Charlie asked if I wanted my birthday present early and led me to the wooden swing with Natalie. I opened it and it was a book - our love story. Natalie began reading it to me, and at the end...Charlie got down on one knee and asked me to be his wife. I was so surprised and happy, and of course I said YES! Afterwards - my dad told me that Natalie had told him the week before that her dream was for Charlie to marry mommy and be with us forever. We are beyond happy to be making that dream come true for our little girl.
