I don’t normally blog about things unrelated to travel, but I’m too excited to not share this with my readers. This evening, my wonderful boyfriend of almost 5 years proposed to me.

Emily's engagement ring

He did a killer job with the ring (see image)–I’m in love with it! And him, of course. I feel so lucky.

We haven’t started talking details yet, but my fingers are crossed for an amazing honeymoon
