As many of you have heard by now, I am engaged! Jeremiah asked me to marry him on Friday night after work, at Erinshire Gardens here in Abilene (one of our favorite places). It was impeccably planned and beautifully executed – I am so impressed by him (again) and so wonderfully, incredibly, deliriously happy.
He picked me up after work and took me home, and we hung out at my flat for a bit, then went on a walk down to Erinshire. (I thought I spotted a video camera through the trees when we passed the little chapel there, but he shrugged it off and tried to act nonchalant.) We walked around for a while and then “randomly” ran into our good friends Tim and Julie Danley from church, with whom I lived for a while. They hugged us both and then talked to me for a bit while Jeremiah ran off through the trees to answer a phone call. By this point I knew something was up…
There will be LOTS of pictures forthcoming, but most of them aren’t on my camera, so for now I’ll just leave you with a couple:
Jeremiah singing to me, and Kendall playing
Here’s us smiling afterward. Check out Julie’s blog for a close-up picture of the ring. More pictures to come!
