I'm engaged!!

Gosh, I have not been so great about updating my blog lately… I have been pretty busy with other things. Obviously from the title & photo, Brian and I are engaged! Wooohoo!!  We’ve dated for about 2 years and are ready to get married.  He proposed to me in the sanctuary of our church on Saturday evening of Memorial Day weekend. He’s such a gentleman (ladies- don’t settle for less!) and pretty close with my family so, of course he asked both my dad and step dad’s permission prior to his proposal. My mom just happened to come into town and went to church with us and witnessed the whole thing.  It was neat having her there to see it all and take photos, etc..   It was so special that Brian proposed IN our church, because it has been such a monumental part/foundation of our relationship. So many great things have happened to us/for us over the past 2 years regarding involvement at the church.  It will be a great memory/story to share with the kids/grand kids in the future.

By the way, Brian did a wonderful job with the ring!! He met with several jewelers before getting exactly what he wanted. VERY nicely done, I must say.

So… looks like we’ve got a wedding to plan!!  We’re getting married at Briscoe Manor in March 2010. It’s such a beautiful place near where I grew up, and seems to fit both our tastes.  Boy oh boy, is it amazing how fast wedding costs add up! Yikes! It’s quite a blessing having my parents help, though.

Since I’m an avid blogger/tweeter about  my experiences, I will most likely be blogging about my wedding planning.  It still hasn’t really sunk in that I’m planning a wedding or getting married, but it probably will once I’m actually walking down the aisle or am actually married.
