I spent the past week visiting two friends in San Diego, California. It was a beautiful and really fun time! While there I completed 1/2 of something on my list. We spent my last day in Cali at Moonlight Beach, so gorgeous!
After picking up some mexican food at a local taco shop for dinner we decided to head back to the beach and watch the sunset, which was perfect seeing as how one of my to do's is "watch a sunrise and sunset from the beach". As we were sitting on a bench in a small park right above the beach, we noticed a woman begin setting up a table with beautiful flowers and tea light candles. Being the curious girls we are, we decided to ask what was going on. The woman said with lots of excitement, "My son is proposing tonight at sunset!" After ooing and awing we asked if she needed any help and then proceeded to help light the 30 or so candles. Look how beautiful it was!
The couple arrived on their beach cruiser bicycles. The girl was of course in shock at the sight of the romantic scene. They sat down, giggling and hugging, talked for a bit and then we saw the guy get down on one knee. Soon after they were embracing and kissing! It was so cute. The parents then came out from hiding and invited us over to take pictures and meet the engaged couple for ourselves. The night seriously made our day, perhaps even my whole trip. Meeting them and sharing in the excitement felt like a gift from God!
And I am now down to 100.5 things to do :)
