The true taste of summer comes in the form of Peach Cobbler. I decided to celebrate with fresh peaches from Porter, Oklahoma. This weekend I had a major move-a-thon to Wichita, Kansas. The place of my new job.
Saturday after the move, we had a cookout and I brought the Oatmeal Cookie Peach Cobbler for dessert. This is a light and healthy take on Traditional Peach Cobbler for a fresh summer treat! Little did I know I was getting ENGAGED!!! Tate (my wonderful fiance') had planned this all out. Both of the families came over for a summer cookout. We start opening house warming gifts and then the last gift was from Mr. Tate. I had no clue. Didn't even clue into why everyone had their cameras out.
I start pulling out the pink tissue paper and realize... there is nothing else in the bag! Just when I am thinking, did he forget to put a present in here? I turn around and Tate is down on one knee. Just like the movies I couldn't believe my eyes.
I probably started jumping up and down before he even proposed..
Tate looks up (never a man without something to say) and is absolutely speachless. With tears in his eyes, he manages to spit out ... Will... Will.... WILL YA?!
And I'm not a better example. All I could get out was REALLY?! In a really high pitched scream voice. We are talking dog piercing. Sorry family.
Afterwards, we popped the champagne, fired up the grill and had the best celebratory cookout I have ever had! It was a dream come true... to be there with all of my family to witness and that he proposed in the kitchen. This is the kitchen of the house he just bought, where we will spend most of our time when we are married.
I'm getting MARRIED!! Yay :)
Here is a picture of me and my new Fiance'!

[...] Everyone else thought it should have said, “She said REALLY?!” If you don’t know the story read the proposal post under Engagement Peach Cobbler. [...]
