I'M ENGAGED!

Wow. Just within the last week I was praying Psalm 88, and today I am bouncing around the house with an engagement ring on my finger, feeling ecstatic! Life is a roller coaster ride. I was just reading from Jeremiah 10:23 "I know, O Lord, that my life is not my own; It is not for me to direct my steps." Thankfully, even at the times I unbelieve, God is in control of all and He knows best about everything. So let me tell you what he's done now!

I have my first boyfriend, Dave, and we have a really neat story of the wild and long time it took for God to bring us to this point. Two weeks ago, I took him home to meet my extended family and to show him my favorite place - the beach.



On this trip, Dave asked Mom and my stepfather, if he could marry me.



Then, yesterday on Valentine's Day, I had a corsage waiting for me when Dave came to pick me up for church. And dinner plans for after church.





Then Dave told me to bundle up, which I did.



Then he took me to my favorite bridge at our favorite place, the Missouri Botanical Gardens.



And asked me to be his WIFE!







I have an engagement ring on my finger!!!





Here you go, Mom, Here's the pics you wanted of my hand!

Then we went and called a ton of people. And dropped by friends.



And dropped by the K's but didn't take pics because they were in their PJ's. But Dave asked Doug to be his best man.

And dropped by more.







And then called some more people.

Thank you everyone who has prayed for my husband for years! He was definitely worth the wait!
