Casey and I took a trip to San Juan, Puerto Rico over Memorial Day 2008. We had an awesome time sitting on the beach, going on the rum tour, and enjoying each others' company. While we were shopping in Old San Juan in the 90+ degree tropical heat, I decided to take a break from walking. We had just had lunch at Senor Frogs (don't do it, it's sooo not worth it) and I wasn't feeling so well (see, toldya not to eat there). Casey continued on to go browsing in the little square and I laughed at all of the festivities that were being set up for Barack Obama (he was going to visit that night). While looking at watches, Casey found the engagement ring display, and unbeknown to me he purchased a gorgeous solitaire diamond ring. When he came back we made our way back to the hotel. I continued to feel lousy, and thought that a really nice shower would be good. While I showered Casey called my parents and my brother and asked for my hand in marriage. Senor Frogs wreaked havoc on my stomach though, so I was in no mood to do anything other than sit on the toilet. Casey finally convinced me that a nice walk on the beach would be good, so off we went. I couldn't figure out why he grabbed the camera, but was still focused on my stomach. When we got down there, he dropped to one knee and proposed! The beach was deserted except for the moonlight - it couldn't have been more romantic! The walk on the beach didn't last long but we took some great pictures, some of which you can see below and then called our families. It was definitely a trip to remember!!
