Some of you are already probably sick of us… I would be too. But hey! This story is worth being told. Austin did such an incredible job planning our engagement surprise that I have to share it. So here it goes:<\/p>\n

\"\"\/<\/p>\n

Every month Austin & I have date night. We switch off on who plans the date, the activity, who pays and it’s typically a surprise until the day- of. It was Austin’s turn to plan but we had agreed a few weeks ago that we wanted to try out The Lobster down by the Santa Monica Pier & we were going to some surprise concert after. We were early to dinner, so Austin suggested that we walk down the pier a bit & find a pretty spot to watch the sunset. As we are walking, we come upon a bench with a reserved sign covered in sunflowers, pillows, and a basket with champagne (insert panic attack). <\/p>\n

After a few minutes, with sweaty hands and crazy beating hearts, I knew what was going on.  He ends up proposing (I’ll spare you the speech), I’m a crying happy disaster & he suggests calling my parents to tell them the news!<\/p>\n

\"\"\/
\n \"\"\/
\n \"\"\/<\/p>\n

So I call my mom & begin to try to explain what just happened and then out pops my ENTIRE FAMILY & AUSTIN’S FAMILY (insert hysterical crying). Please note, my parents\/sister had to fly in from Arizona! <\/p>\n

\"\"\/<\/p>\n

So… We take a few pictures, I start to collect myself & try take in what is happening.<\/p>\n

\"\"\/
\n \"\"\/
\n \"\"\/<\/p>\n

But… that only lasted about 3 minutes because then rolls up a giant party bus! My two best girl friends from Arizona (Tina & Patty) come running out, followed by all our closest friends from college. (Insert more hysterical crying and no breathing) <\/p>\n

\"\"\/
\n \"\"\/
\n \"\"\/
\n \"\"\/
\n \"\"\/
\n \"\"\/<\/p>\n

After we got pictures with the whole clan, we headed to Malibu in a party bus (yes, stripper pole & Grandma included). We arrived at Malibu Cafe & his family had rented out a private area that was all decorated with “She Said Yes” signs, personalized place settings, open bar, twinkle lights and more. We had a delicious dinner, drinks and lots of incredible toasts by our friends\/family. I wish I had pictures of the dinner but I was a little overwhelmed & didn’t take any \ud83d\ude41 <\/p>\n

\"\"\/
\n \"\"\/
\n \"\"\/
\n \"\"\/
\n \"\"\/<\/p>\n

It was definitely one of the best nights of my life thus far. All I can say is that if this is the way our engagement is beginning, I can only thank God for the wonderful journey that this marriage is going to be for the rest of our lives! I love you Austin Huffman! <\/p>\n
