Doing a little something different today: I got engaged yesterday, so I'm cheating for today's word of the day! This is going to be a little more personal than the other posts, but you'll just have to deal with that.

It goes like this: yesterday, I got up at the crack of 3:30 a.m. and got Jamie, put her in the car, and told her we're going on a surprise vacation to the beach. It was pretty believable, I think, because we haven't had the same day off in months, and we had been talking about taking a few days off together.

We went down to Wrightsville Beach and made it just before the sun came up. (Fantastic planning, I must say.) We watched the sun rise, and I proposed, and luckily for me, she said yes. Though, if she hadn't said yes, I would have left her here in her pajamas.

We stayed over night in a hotel room my sister got us with her points from traveling (thanks Katie!) and we're still just hanging out today, which is why the photo for today's word is so fantastic. There's no color correction, or even cropping, because I just got engaged and I don't care that much about the photo.

Hope you're all having a great Monday! I'll be back with a real word of the day tomorrow!
