Caleb absolutely blew me away with this incredibly romantic, thoughtful, and surprising proposal.

He told me we were going to his house (childhood home/property that had recently been sold) to do a final walkthrough with his family for memory's sake. After that we were planning to go to a nearby restaurant for dinner. I believed him and got all dressed up for our night. We stopped by his new home so he could get ready and change from "work" (he was actually setting up the proposal all day, but sneakily put on his work uniform to fool me).

I noticed that he was driving very calmly and wasn't saying much, which was not like him. But I was distracted by the sad fact that I knew the proposal was not going to happen that night - because my whole family had plans (or so I thought).

Once we finally arrived at his home I was still trying to get myself together so I wouldn't look too upset about the proposal *not* happening. Once we walked in the door I was completely shell-shocked. He had beautifully decorated his empty home with rose petals, lights, string with old receipts/notes/photos, candles, ribbon, baby's breath, and dozens and dozens of stemmed roses. We walked through the pathway out to the back deck where he had an arbor waiting (which he put together himself), the words "Marry Me" written out in blocks, more rose petals, candles, flowers, and a little pink box on the table.

He kneeled down and asked me to be his forever, I said YES and put on the most stunning piece of jewelry I've ever seen.

We are so excited to celebrate this next step in our lives with all of those we love dearly in April. Thank you for your kind words, texts, and gifts, we are so grateful!
