During Labor Weekend of 2011, I proposed to Madelyn on the beach at Anna Maria Island, FL — a place that is very near and dear to our hearts.  Most of you have been there but for those who haven’t, my parents have a house just a few steps from the water.  That house, that beach, and that island have been an amazing place for me to visit over the years and Madelyn has truly come to love it as well.  It is my favorite place on earth because of the setting, the company, and the memories.  Honestly, there was no other place I even considered for the proposal.  There’s obviously more to this story…I’ll update later.  Until next time… -Kevin
