what started it all...

Stephen & I met in of all places, on the internet, more specifically, eHarmony.  I guess after the lengthy questionnaire, ridiculous red tape, and the wacky questions you are asked to answer before you can even email each other, it was well worth it.  After about 6 months, there was no denying that we were meant for each other.  Just prior to our one year anniversary I had been dealing with a case of hives that could not be explained.  We are not talking little hives we are talking the big welts that made you want to hide under the covers!  The day of our anniversary arrived and I was feeling a little better, although highly drugged and decided to take a ride down to the beach with Steve for fresh air.  I should have known something was up as he was acting fidgety and quiet on the ride there.  As we walked the beach he had picked up a lone stick (almost like it was planted there come to think of it) and we sat down in a quiet area.  As I was looking down the beach watching other people, he was fast at work writing in the sand.  When I turned around, there it was..."Will you marry me?" in the sand and Steve on one knee. And the rest folks...will be beginning October 9th, 2010!
