We're engaged!!!!
It is official!!! Andrew proposed (this is Colleen writing) on a beautiful beach on the southern tip of SSI after he surprised me with breakfast and flowers. We spent the day together exploring the island and some places that are meaningful to him from his childhood and university years. He did a great job making the day special--I am so blessed to have an amazing fiance! The rest of the family was waiting at the house to welcome us back.
The house on the beach that my parents rented for our family vacation. Super beautiful.
Under a rock we discovered some astonished goopy baby fish. Baby sculpins??
Me with the mom of the baby goopy fishies.
And again.
Andrew was attacked by a sea star while trying to exit the ocean.
