We're Getting Married

We had plans to head to Washington Island for the day for our annual fall "get away" trip. We plan a trip every fall in the middle of the week to just "get away" for a day! We made the drive up to the ferry and headed over to the island. Once on the island our first stop was schoolhouse beach. It was a beautiful beach of smooth rocks and water clear as day! After venturing from the beach we then headed to the farm museum followed by the lookout tower! The tower had about 186 steps to the top! We grabbed a quick bite to eat at Karly's Bar where we had to try out the old fashions they were known for! After we ate we had asked the bartender about places she recommended stopping at and she told us to head to sand dunes beach so off we went! When we got to the beach we noticed that the sand started right from the parking lot so off we headed through the sand in our cowboy boots! When we got to the beach I (Katie) noticed a picnic table so I headed there and told Eric to follow so we can take our boots off and head in the water! I sat at the table and began taking my boots off as Eric stood behind me. Once I got my boots and socks off I looked back at Eric and asked if he was coming. He grinned and said yes. I got up and started to head to the beach when I heard Eric say, "babe!" I, without really turning back to him, said "yeah, lets go!" Again Eric yells, "BABE!" So I turn to him and he looks at me with a grin and says, "Katie Jean Frederickson," then heads down to one knee, "will you marry me?" I was so shocked and caught off guard I said, "are you serious?" He laughed and I said YES!! After the proposal we walked the beach for awhile just taking in the scenery and moment we just shared together before heading back to the car!
