</span></div><div style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;">Two of Tom's brothers, Jake and Dan, came to visit over their spring break. They all attempted skiing for the first time, after driving to Tahoe in a blizzard. We went to a Sacramento Kings game, which at the time could have been one of their last, but the team decided to stay in Sacramento for at least another year. We also went to San Francisco and toured Alcatraz (very cool!), among other touristy things! Awkward video (that was supposed to be a picture) alert.</span></div><div style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif; text-align: center;"><br />

He followed up via text and Facebook to see if I'd go to dinner with him. I agreed, but I didn't know if he was a total weirdo or not, so I had Jacklyn and Hunter meet us an hour or so into our date. Turns out I didn't need saving, but we all had a really great time together. </span></div><div style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;">The rest is history...</span></div><div style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br />

</div><div style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;">When we were leaving, we were taking pictures by the fountain in the courtyard. Jacklyn took a picture of Tom and me, and then immediately after, he turned to me and held my hands. I knew right away what was happening because he was shaking:) He began by pointing out the significance of Jacklyn and Hunter being with us... etc... and choked up while saying that he thought God put him in NC to meet me. Talk about a tear jerker! Then he got on his knee and asked me to marry him. I said YES! Boy was I surprised! The wedding will be in Wilmington, NC sometime next Summer!</span></div><div style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br />
</span></div><div style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;">p.s.

</div><div style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;"> Three weeks ago Tom and I went to San Francisco for the night. On our way in, we went to a Golden State Warriors NBA game in Oakland. I'm pretty sure they lost; we left early because the arena and game weren't all that great. The next day we explored San Francisco.... we went to the market on the water and had brunch, then went to the park and the aquarium. Thankfully my super sweet coworker watched Hally for us:)</span><span style="font-size: large;"> </span></div><div style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br />
