Last Saturday Keith asked me to marry him and of course I said yes! Our first date was at Lake Hartwell with some of his co-workers so Keith decided that he would take me back to where our first date took place. Saturday morning Keith and I drove to Lake Hartwell where he rented a boat for a few hours. Once we got into the deep water (which was hard to find b/c Georgia is in a 3 year drought) he turned off the boat, threw over the anchor, and we just floated. It was really nice outside. He turned on the radio and we started to dance. We danced for a little bit and then he got down on one knee and asked me to marry him. I was surprised. He told me that he had driven to Memphis Wednesday and took my parents to dinner and asked if he could marry me. After dinner he drove back to Athens. The total trip was 18 hours, 15 of those hours he spent driving. I had no idea he was going to Memphis. I can't believe he pulled it off without me finding out.
The wedding will be May 30th in Memphis, TN at Sycamore View Church of Christ. We haven't picked a reception location yet.

Way to go, Keith! THanks for sharing, Leslie! Hope you are enjoying all the planning. It's fun!
Yay!! I am so happy for you - he sounds like such a great guy to drive all the way to Memphis. I think Matt called my parents in GA about an hour before he asked me :) Can't wait to see you and your new ring Saturday!
How exciting! How fun! Enjoy your engagement!
