time back east

i told peter early on in our relationship that it was imperative that he go back east with me to meet and get to know the many people there that i care for so deeply. so on april 3, we headed to the east coast to visit a few of my college friends and my "second family" in salisbury. a photo log of the trip:

pinkhousers unite! (at the national art gallery)
peter and amy at the washington monument
that's abe. (and peter.)
among the cherry blossoms . . .
again.
driving over the bay bridge (can you see it in the background???). i had this warm feeling in my heart as we crossed that made it clear that i still consider the shore "home" in large part.
par-tay at the townsends
at assateague. peter got to see the atlantic and the wild horses, even though we never saw the sun while we were visiting. we attempted a walk down the beach, but were thwarted by strong winds and high tide. as a result, he proposed in the car instead of looking out over the ocean.
dinner with my former co-workers monday night.
peter's first time pickin' crabs!

news worth posting . . .

as my posts are so few and far between these days, i'm not sure that anyone even checks this thing anymore. nonetheless, there is great news in my life to share. blogger seems to be an appropriate and far-reaching way of sharing it.

on april 7, 2008 peter joseph foley asked me to become his bride. with a full heart and full assurance, i accepted.

so there you have it.

we are engaged.

several pictures taken by miss anna harr and miss annie huntington the day of our engagement (they were the first to see the ring after he proposed!) i show you these more to highlight the pure talent of the photographers . . . getting to see me with my soon-to-be husband is just a bonus. :-)










hoping for an october wedding . . . anyone from salisbury think they'll be able to come???
