Not Just One Brian Anymore...

I feel it's fitting after Uncle Keith's speech to let you know that there will now be another Brian in the family!

On Sunday the 22nd Brian took me back to Timothy Christian High School and proposed right at the spot where we met. I, of course, said yes. (I mean, who could say no to that handsome face?) Rudi got the whole thing on video so you can ask him for footage if you'd like to see it happen. He gave me a beautiful diamond and it's safe to say that I am on cloud 9 and don't plan to come down anytime soon.

Following the engagement, Brian had arranged for my parents, siblings, and Karley and Sam to be waiting at his parents' house in Libertyville along with his whole immediate family for lunch and celebrating. After that, and seeing a lot of you at Auntie Lee's party, and now going back home for Christmas, I am completely overwhelmed (in a good way!) at all of the support and loving people that God has put in my life. Brian is so excited to be a part of our big family and told me how welcoming everyone was to him. We're thankful for all of you :) 


I don't have many wedding details worked out yet, but I'll try to be good about letting you know as they come!

So happy for the both of you! Try to enjoy the planning as well . I am here if you need my help. I think your dad would be the dress expert since he has such an interest in "say yes to the dress".
