Engagement!

And now for the BIGGEST news! Efrain and I got engaged the Saturday before Labor Day at the Grand Canyon. It was incredible! (both the canyon and the engagement) Neither one of us has ever been there before and I was so taken aback by how beautiful it was. Right when we got there the clouds started rolling in and after about 45 minutes it began to POUR! It was seriously a torrential downpour. We scrambled to get some lunch and wait it out. The problem for me was that I hadn't taken the time to do anything to myself that day...I don't even think I showered. So once the rain started down, I looked even worse! So I get to look back on my engagement photos and wonder what I was thinking. Well, anyway...we started hiking along the edge of the canyon and after awhile I needed to sit. So we climbed down to almost the edge (Yes, I was FREAKING OUT!) and rested for awhile and took pictures. Finally I needed to go to the bathroom, so I told Efrain that we needed to start heading back. He kept hemming and hawing and I couldn't understand why he didn't want to leave. All of a sudden he told me he had a gift for me and pulled out the ring. Right at that moment, a man walked up right next to us (we had been completely alone). So we sat there and waited and I gawked over the ring. Then he got down on one knee as I tried to make sure he didn't fall off the cliff! It was so romantic and I'm so excited! Efrain is the greatest man a girl could ask for and I can't wait to marry him.

I can't seem to get a good picture of my ring! It's too sparkily!!
