After spending three years with my
amazing boyfriend it has finally happened, he proposed! As of Friday last week I
am engaged, and working on planning a wedding. It makes me so happy to finally
call Matt my Fiancé and future husband.

After meeting, feeding, and petting
some elephants we left to take a photo in front of the exhibit. After the first
photo snapped Matt turned to me, pulled out the ring and knelt down in front of
me. I sprung quite the leak. I began bawling my eyes out and shaking like a leaf.
He grabbed my hand and after a short speech he asked me to marry him. I couldn’t
have been more excited to start this new chapter with some of earths most
amazing creatures standing close by.


Besides the engagement I got to
visit a brand new city in a state I’ve never stepped foot into. I absolutely loved
the warm weather and gained a new obsession for Whataburger! It was great to
spend time with our friend, and share in this new adventure together after
traveling thousands of miles by car trying and finding ways to keep entertained
for two days.
I got to experience a really
awesome new restaurant I never heard of until Matt told me about it. On our
second day driving down into Texas we dropped by a one of a kind restaurant called
“Lamberts Café.” The specialty of Lamberts is they throw your rolls at you from
across the room, and share some seriously delicious southern home cooking. They
have three locations; we stop at the Missouri location, Sikeston. The food was
AMAZING, and I got to try fried okra for the first time, I’m pretty obsessed
with it.
Once we were in Texas the first few days we went to Galveston to see the beach, and got to see some interesting sites like the infamous Buckees Gas Station. It appears to be an average gas station with a cute beaver… or chipmunk… on the sign, but it is quite the tourist attraction on the inside. It was like a glorified souvenir shop that sold coffee and gasoline. We also took some time to visit surrounding suburbs in Houston to see if anything was appealing for future living. We both agreed Pearland TX is a place we want to possibly reside in after we get married and begin our lives together.
