The Proposal!!!

Saturday, March 12...A day that will forever be remembered for Phillip and I...It was an unusually warm day for March with a temperature of about 70 degrees. The sky was bright blue with no clouds in sight. The birds were singing and the wind was blowing rather strongly. Phillip and I stood at the end of the pier overlooking the usually calm lake that on this day looked more like an ocean. Phillip and I clung to one another as we soaked up the beautiful sunshine. I could feel his heart racing and thumping as he told me he needed to ask me a question. He got down on one knee on the pier, took a beautiful diamond ring out of his pocket, and asked me if I would be his wife. I knelt down beside him, wrapped my arms around him exploded with a gleeful "YES!"

Since that time, we have been busily making phone calls to share our happy news with loved ones, making plans for our wedding, and enjoying our time together. Thanks to all for your thoughts and prayers:)

Excitement in the Air!!!

Well, I found out quite by accident that my wonderful boyfriend paid a visit to my mother and father on Friday night to ask their permission to marry me! I can't even begin to communicate how excited I am about this. We have been discussing in more detail wedding dates and honeymoon destinations:) This is definitely getting to be fun! I'm waiting (somewhat impatiently at this point) to announce our official engagement.
