She said yes!

Those were the first words sent to Jeremy's mom after he proposed! That's right, we're engaged! And we couldn't be more excited! :) So many people want to know what happened or how he did it, so here you go:

We went for a walk at the park with our sweet pups Lula Kate and Molly. After about an hour of walking around the park Jeremy asked if we could sit down on a bench by a lake. I suggested we keep walking, but he insisted we sit down. He said his foot hurt and it'd be a nice break.  The bench was quite tall and when we approached Lula jumped up and I took a seat next to her. Jeremy leaned down to get Molly, since her little legs couldn't jump that high, and after he put her on the bench he remained on his knees and in a split second was on just one.

In shock I sat there as he grabbed my hand and asked me to marry him. He said ( in paraphrase) that because he's searched for a woman of noble character and couldn't find another one as noble as me and because I am more valuable than rubies, he was wondering if I'd be his wife. He pulled a beautiful Ruby ring out of his pocket, the exact ring I wanted, and put in on my finger! It was so sweet. Who wouldn't want to marry a sweet, kind, thoughtful man like that!? So, of course, I said Yes! And jumped off of the bench, ran away and screamed "We have lots of planning to do!" When Jeremy finally caught me we hugged in the middle of the woods and prayed to God, thanking him for our relationship, for what He's brought together and praying that we'd continue to follow Him and His will for our lives and relationship! It was a perfect moment: just our family and the Lord! 

Us with our pups last fall at Asbury Hills! 

This morning was fantastic as I woke up and remembered what had happened the day before. My face lit up with joy and I couldn't help but feel like a giddy little girl! I felt like the first thing I should do was spend the morning in prayer, thanking God for such an incredible man, an incredible blessing... and that's what I did. It was a glorious morning of worshiping God, thanking him, and remembering that Christ, and Christ alone, is our foundation! Through God and his love for us we will have a lovely marriage! I look forward to serving Jeremy as his wife and seeing how God works in our lives in the future!

Thank you, everyone, for your encouragement, well wishes, support and love! We are thankful to have such great friends and family! :)
