We’re (finally) getting married!

Thomas and I were celebrating our anniversary in OBX. He was very adamant on going to Jockey’s Ridge. He said “Emily, we can’t leave OBX without going to Jockey’s Ridge. We HAVE to go!” Obviously, I did not know he was going to propose. So, we start walking towards the entrance of this plenty mile high dune…I clearly underestimated the height of these dunes. I did not realize it was going to be a total workout. After trekking for what felt like years, we finally get to the top of the dune! I’m sweaty, out of breath, and Thomas immediately turns to me and gets down on one knee. I was so stunned, I basically yanked him back to both feet and just kept saying “Yes! Yes!” I still can’t believe I actually made it to the top of the dune, didn’t die, AND I got proposed to! The sunset was beautiful; I think that was the main reason he wanted to propose there because it definitely wasn’t that he wanted to make me workout.
