He asked a question

Wow...it has been a while...too much of a while!

Both Amanda and my life was a little crazy this summer. In the spring we both were working like dogs, then she got engaged, then I went to Poland, then I got engaged, and then we continued working like dogs.
I will post some pictures of the Poland trip but for now I will share my engagement story and some pictures with you.

Mike & I went to Poland to teach conversational English and were there for two weeks. We had an absolute blast! The last night of our trip we were in Krakow, a magical and spectacularly romantic city. We had both been there two years ago and the country and the city itself are a special place for us. We both love the culture, the people and have some amazing friends that we love very much there. So on our last night, after finishing all of our duties, we went for a walk around Krakow. We visited the Jewish quarters and then walked by the river that encompasses the old part of the city.

We sat on a bench overlooking the river and the beautiful caste and while we chatted about the last two weeks he said that he had something for me. My heart stopped for a second or two and my hands started getting clammy as he fidgeted with something in his pocket. He then pulled out.... a rose. A rose?! My heart sank. But I played it cool (or so I thought) and we kept on making small talk. I started seeing my dream of him proposing in Poland fading away until he said he had a final question to ask... he then got down on one knee and I said yes .....

Our friend was wonderful and woke up so early to take these lovely pictures of us in the beautiful city of Krakow.
