We’re Engaged! Costco Rings, Surprise Proposal & a Dolphin-Filled Love Story

After years of parenting, partnership, and emotional growth, Kelton finally proposed — and it was the surprise of a lifetime. In this episode, I’m sharing our full engagement story: from trying on engagement rings at Costco, to proposal fake-outs, to the magical eFoil beach moment (with dolphins!) that made me say YES.
