Nick was finally returning home after spending the past year stationed in South Korea. We had just gone four months without seeing each other, separated by a thirteen hour time difference and almost 7,000 miles. Before moving to our next location, Oklahoma, we met in Florida to stay with Nick's family for a vacation. Five days into our vacation, Nick took Katie to The Ritz Carlton on Amelia Island in Florida for dinner. We spent the night having fancy cocktails overlooking the water before sitting down for dinner. Towards the end of our dinner, a woman working at the hotel came over to tell us that the restaurant had a dessert waiting for us by the beach to thank Nick for his service. She escorted us outside to find two rocking chairs, roses, a bottle of champagne and Katie's favorite dessert, tiramisu. After popping the champagne and looking over the ocean, Nick got down on one knee and popped the question! Thinking that nothing could top such a romantic moment, we arrived back at Nick's family's house to find an engagement party waiting for us and Nick had organized a surprise visit for Katie's parents to be there to celebrate! We can't wait to celebrate this next chapter of our lives with you!
