talking here, but this past weekend was magical. The Boyfriend and I drove up to the Adirondacks on Thursday night, to visit Camp Echo Lake, the summer camp we met at 19 years ago. We were both campers and then staff members there. While walking around the camp, The Boyfriend was taking a ton of photos with his camera. He seemed particularly pleased by the way the sky looked off the deck of a large log cabin at the camp and insisted on taking my picture. While telling me to move closer to him, he got lower and lower until he was on one knee. I was getting annoyed that he was taking all of these pictures of 
me. He reached into his camera bag and I said to him, "Are you getting a new battery to take MORE pictures?" He didn't answer me, and instead, pulled out a box with a gorgeous diamond ring in it. Completely shocked, I'm not really quite sure what came next. There was a speech of some sort from him followed by me saying, "Of course!" when he asked me what my answer was. He then surprised me by taking me to The Sagamore - a resort on Lake George that is absolutely magnificent. When we arrived, there were rose petals, champagne and strawberries in our room. The Fiance had packed a dress and heels for me (I had only brought sneakers and jeans as I thought we'd be in camp mode all weekend) and made dinner reservations at an amazing restaurant in the hotel.
Going back to the place we met 19 years ago to propose to me, I couldn't have imagined it any better. I am posting some pictures we took over the weekend. The first one above, was taken seconds after I said YES.
So that's the story. We are engaged. No idea on timing or location yet - but if you have some suggestions, we're all ears...
