The Proposal!

11/23/18

I had been Black Friday shopping all day. My family and I were headed back to our rental house in Missouri where we were staying while visiting my grandpa over Thanksgiving break when my mom hands me a letter. The letter was from Carter saying he missed me and couldn't wait to see me soon. Little did I know soon meant about an hour later! While I had been shopping that day, Carter had been driving. When we got back to the house, my mom sent me over to open the door and I hear a whisper from the back corner. It was Carter. I was completely shocked and asked him what he was doing here. He said he just came to see me and then took me out the back door. We walked down towards the lake and stopped in a ring of lights where Carter asked me to marry him. I said yes!!

For all the days along the way
