Big Happenings


Guess what...I'M ENGAGED!!! =D To the most amazing guy. Charles A. Domina. He loves God, is sweet and caring, and loves me for me =)




One of our favorite paces to go is the Oregon Coast, cause hey, its the Oregon Coast!!


And thats where he proposed!
It was Sunday the 16th and his family and I had just gone to the beach like two weeks before, so it was kinda odd that we were going again, but I didn't really give it a second thought.

So we get there and Charlie's parents tell us that they're just gonna sit on a blanket near the big rock at Cannon Beach, and that we can go pretty much anywhere. That was the first thing that hinted that he was going to ask, because we normally don't separate when we go places all together. Then Charlie said that we were going to wander "that way" which was away from his parents (second hint). So we walked a little ways and came to a small log and he said we should sit down because his legs were tired from work (third hint). We sat down and talked a little bit and then he said "I love you. You know that, right?" and I said "Yes, I love you too" and then he kinda spun himself off the log and down onto one knee and opened a ring box (fourth hint). Then he said "Courtney Paige Hilman?" and I squeaked "yes?" with my hands over my mouth and then he asked "will you marry me?" and I said "yes!" Then I clumsily took my Promise ring off my left hand and put it onto my right, and he put the Engagement ring on my finger. Then we hugged =)



Then we went back to where his parents were, his mom was taking pictures of us walking towards them until we got to the blanket =P
Then we all went out to lunch/dinner =)

So thats my news for now. Thank you to all who have been giving their support! We really appreciate it =)
