As of six days ago, I am engaged to my one true love! As of five days ago, I am studying at Keele University in England. Talk about a tough trek across the ocean. I knew it was coming, but I didn't think he'd wait until the night before I left!
On Wednesday night after church, we went star gazing out past all of the city lights. We were bundled up in the bed of his truck when he said he had something for me. It was so dark that I could barely see his face or the ring when he opened the box. Being the non-traditional guy that he is (which is a good thing), he asked if I wanted to try it on. He asked if I was willing to make a life-long commitment and marry him. Of course, I said yes! Honestly, I'm not 100% sure what happened after that. The adrenaline was pumping so my memory is fuzzy. I do know that I made sure to take a picture with my phone and send it to my mom and all of my best friends (because we live in the of technology).
I am super excited to start planning our wedding and beginning a new life together. Obviously, it'll be a little difficult to plan from across the Atlantic Ocean. But I'll do my best!
