Christmas Surprises!

Happy 2012 Everyone!

I've been MIA since my last post but that's because there has been plenty of excitement going on! First off, after months of planning an incognito surprise trip to visit my family in California for Christmas, Christian and I successfully surprised the hell outta my parents a couple of days before Christmas Eve!! They had NO idea and we spent the holidays enjoying the warm sunshine and seeing my closest friends and siblings (there's a lot of them, 4 brothers and 3 sisters to be exact!)...more on our Christmas in Cali later...

...because the most exciting part of all is Christian (that sneaky devil) lured me down to Crystal Cove right on a beautiful stretch of Pacific coastline on Christmas Day (and made sure my 2 best friends were there too), and when the sunset was as colorful as could be...he popped the question! 

Yep, WE'RE ENGAGED! 

Too bad jetlag has gotten the best of me tonight and I'm exhausted. More details about the engagement coming soon!  For now, I'll say it's been a great 2012 so far...me 'n my new fancy-shmancy fiance!
