December 9, 2012 turned out to be a very momentous day in both the Massoth and Ruggiero families...John proposed! He took me hiking at Rose Valley Falls where we had hiked before even being a couple and asked me to marry him under a tree canopy that I love so much (it's very "Beauty and the Beast"). Before taking one knee he presented me with a travel Bible (suitable for our many adventures) in which he had written a heartfelt note. What a sweet and thoughtful guy (not to mention patient, but that story is for another day)! Anyway, after confirming that he had indeed asked my dad's permission (while I was in Peru - so sneaky), I said "yes" and the rest is history! The evening concluded with a trip to my parents' house where we celebrated with my family, even though we didn't arrive until 11pm. Needless to say, this week has been both exciting and exhausting, and I am going to bed. I'll have to fill in the details in another post, but here are some pictures to mark the occasion.
