February 2023 Hank and I were staying 2 nights in Folly Beach, SC before picking Nate and Beth Eckhardt up from the Airport for a visit.

On our second night there February 17th, Hank asked me to walk down to the beach before dinner to check the surf. It was sunset and Hank said he saw a shell earlier that I had to have. While I watched the sunset, Hank wrote "Will you marry me?" in the sand. I turned around and saw him down on one knee, a Salt and Pepper diamond in his hand without a shell. In my excitement I stepped towards him, steeping on his message. He pointed out the message and I jumped back apologizing. He asked me to marry him and I said, "Yes." He asked, "Are you sure?" and all my brain could come up with was, "I think so."

And the rest is history...

Thank you for your support as we begin our adventure, we hope to see you at one of our events!
