Hello sweet blogger friends, I wanted to share some exciting news with you – I’m engaged. Taylor popped the question over the frosty weekend, and I said yes.

It was a wonderful night – dinner at the first place we had a date, ice-skating and a romantic {freezing} walk on the mall, where he got down on one knee – with the United States Capitol illuminated in the distance.

I cried. He teared up {men don’t cry, right? Haha}. It was perfect. I love this man with all my heart.

He is my best friend. My partner –the person that I cannot wait to call at the end of the day! His jokes make me cry with laughter and his heart melts mine. He is not afraid to stop and pray {in public or in private.} His fervent love for God and dedication spurs me to dig deeper into the Lord’s unfailing grace and mercy.

I pray this only gets stronger with time and am excited to walk through this life with him. We all know marriage is not a smooth sailing cruise ship, so I pray God will bless our commitment and make us into understanding, loving vessels that shine his glory to the world and each other daily.

So now, I guess, I will be adding a new dimension to the blog – wedding planning. However, I will not over bombard you with posts about flowers, vows, dresses and bridesmaids gifts.

I realize that is annoying – don’t worry. I am not typical in that sense – sometimes it’s too much white lace, frosting and cake. I get it. I am going to stick to my typical blog style {and maybe just pepper throughout some wedding posts.}

Anyway, I wanted to share my joy with each of you. Thank you for following this blog. I truly appreciate your support and encouragement.
