First Anniversary and an Engagement Later



I've been dating Hailey for a year now, and we spent the day at the Los Angeles Zoo, Santa Monica and Marina Del Rey. We aren't extravagant people, and love to have fun, so we ran all over town enjoying the day.












After the zoo, we went down to Santa Monica to hang out at Third Street, and ride the ferris wheel on the pier. 








Finally, we had dinner at the Chart House in Marina Del Rey. 

It was a great day spent with my girlfriend. I can always find something great to do with her, no matter what. There's always something fun to do and explore, because we both believe that our world is too small not to see what's around the corner. With that, she's no longer my girlfriend.



She's my fiance. 


Moments after I asked.


Hailey is my best friend. I have never felt more comfortable spending time with, talking to, and simply being with another person. Yes, we are young. But what does age have to do with love, when you know you've found the person you were made to be with, and have gotten so lucky to find her so soon in life? We can get through anything together, and always learn something new, because we've had two sets of parents who have given us amazing examples of how love and a marriage should really be. My parents have dealt with a lot in their soon to be 23 years of marriage (anniversary is coming up on Oct. 20th, so send them some love!), but I've always seen my dad tell my mom every day that he loves her, and my mom constantly taking care of my dad. Yes, life will hit hard. But with my girl by my side, and both of our faith in God, we can conquer anything that comes our way. It's going to be an amazing life ahead for us.
