Vanessa & Julien

The week of our engagement Julien had the idea that he wanted us to have a 2-day date. The first day, I would be picking the agenda and taking him out an an all day date. I chose for us to go miniature golfing, bowling, and to go out to lunch. On the second day, it was his turn to take me out. We layed out at the beach, went to K1 speedway, and then he wanted to go down to our favorite spot at the beach and he said we would walk around and then go have a nice dinner. So we went home and got all showered and ready to go out, we arrived down at balboa beach right as the sun was getting ready to set. Julien had brought a blanket since it was geting chilly. He layed behind me and was holding me in his arms on the sand right above the water, as he starting to tell me how much I meant to him. The water was twinkling like diamonds as the sun had just set. As the moon lit up the night he pulled out a ring and asked me to be his wife!! It was so overwhelming all I could think to do was grab him and kiss him; a few seconds later he clarified if I had said yes or no (ha ha) since all I could do was kiss him. I laughed and said yes and he put my ring on my finger. It was very romantic!!! We concluded our date night at Ruth's Chris restaurant for dinner and went out with our friends to our favorite bar The Canyon Inn. At the bar they knew us very well since we went there every Tuesday night and the DJ even gave us a shout out saying that Julien and Vanessa were now engaged.
