[I am very happy, now if only Tim could be here]

Memories...
So I was looking through some pictures on my computer for our save-the-dates and I found some random pictures of my cousin Jay. Betsy and I must have accidentally added these when we uploaded Amy's wedding pictures.

This is how I remember Jay...

and so it begins...




Here's a little cute add on to our engagement story... The day before Tim popped the question my mom, Ann and I went to Shipshewana for the day to do some shopping. While we were gone Tim came over and asked my dad if he could ask me to marry him. so cute. I would have never thought he would do that. I love him.

Saying goodbye...

This was taken right before he boarded his plane

This was 4 hours earlier. Brother's saying goodbye.

More birthday festivities...

You never know who you'll meet in Sunday School...

As many of you know last weekend was CRAZY busy! It was Scott's birthday, my birthday, Tim moved and he asked me to marry him. So here's the story...

Tim found out two weeks ago that he was going to play in a new band. One major detail is that his new band lives & practices in Florida. Tim was given two weeks to say good-bye and move all of his stuff down there. Since we were busy everyday getting things ready for Tim he decided that we would not make any plans for Friday, July 6th, and we would spend the day together relaxing. We decided to go to the beach for a couple of hours. After that we headed home and get ready for a nice steak dinner (which was amazing). That night was also Scott's birthday so we joined everyone after our dinner to say happy birthday. After that Tim wanted to go to the East Race one last time before he left (this is where we would aways hang out, it had become our place. I have pictures of us going there the day before he moved to LA so it's awesome to have these pics from years later). So we get there and there's a ton of people there and all of the sudden fireworks start going off. It was awesome. So once that ended we walked around and found a quite place to talk. We sat there for awhile a talked about everything. He was thanking me for supporting him and encouraging him for these past seven years and then all of the sudden he slipped down on one knee and asked me if I would support him and encourage him for the rest of his life. It was AWESOME!! Of course I just started balling. We've all watched Ann's wedding video. It was amazing and I am so happy. We've had a crazy ride these past eight years and to think it all began when we met in Sunday School...

Here's how this weekend played out:

A road trip with Adam to visit his mom

Scott's birthday dinner at Macris

Right after he popped the question we went to Scotts to celebrate!!!

It's very hard to capture this ring!! I will add more pictures of it.

My birthday dinner at Redamaks

The burger made out of marshmallows that everyone had to try...

We all went back to the beach after my dinner for more fireworks

It's 1:00 AM and I made Tim do it all over again for the camera
