Yes.... I am engaged!!!!!!!!!!!

It was brought to my attention yesterday, from Greg's cousin Kelsey, that I should post about my engagement... especially since we had such a delicious celebration meal :)

I do not want to get TOO cheesy on everyone so I won't get into all the details ;) but May 4th was one of the most amazing days of my life!!!!!! My boyfriend had finished law school- yay babes- and he decided to wait no longer and propose that night! He planned an elaborate surprise, which I was completely oblivious too, and we had a great evening out afterwards. I should mention, the setting was Half Moon Bay-- gorgeous beach town about 20-30 minutes from San Francisco. Here is the view from our B&B.

Greg had done his research on dinner spots... he knows I love my food & he did well!! We went to Cetrella, which was Mediterranean. The food was AH-mazing! The service was even better... and the ambiance was my ultimate fav. Open kitchen... beautiful windows.. live music.. AND a fireplace .. IM SOLD! Overall- Greg completely out did himself and made that whole day/night feel like a dream!!!! Hopefully this is just a hint of what our future holds :) xoxo

Kale & Brussels Sprout Salad

We have some good friends, Erin and Zadri, that recently moved to San Francisco and invited us over for dinner! Erin and I had spoken about what she was going to make and we decided on a healthy but of course delicious meal. I think this is the first time Erin has ever cooked for me... and as a long time friend, I was very excited knowing her cooking past... or lack therefore ;)

Erin and Zadri could NOT have made a more delicious meal and to know that it was healthy was just a bonus. I have to say my very very favorite of the night, including Greg's, was the Kale and Brussels Sprouts Salad. I just made it again tonight and bought enough ingredients to make it again later in the week. Something about the mixture of flavors make this salad amazing!!!
