Quite Engaging

I still can't quite wrap my brain around this.

I mean, I still had a hard time believing that Hank and I, at long last, were actually together.
I thank the Lord for that every single day, and for His faithfulness and love.

And now, we are engaged.

We are ENGAGED!

Nope, still hasn't sunk in completely.

On Sunday evening, in our orchard with golden light streaming through the leaves, Hank got down on one knee, held out a ring, and asked me to marry him.  I said yes, of course!

And here's the ring...

I think it's just as perfect as can be, although Hank is correct when he says that I would have been happy with anything he gave me. *grin*  But it is perfect, isn't it?

Hank brought Jack (the camera) outside with him, so this was taken just seconds after the proposal.

And now, I'm planning my wedding.  Oh my word.  My WEDDING!!!  Our wedding.

It is completely unreal, typing those words, let alone saying them.  But pretty darn awesome.

If you'd like to see some of my ideas for the wedding, you can check out my wedding boards on Pinterest.  Yes, I have multiple boards.  And I only wish you could create sub-boards - you know, boards within boards.  Please, tell me I'm not the only person who thinks that would be really neat.

Decorations/Reception - The Dress - Miscellany
The Bridesmaids/Flower Girls - The Groom & Best Man - Bouquets

  Anyway, my colors are lilac purple and light blue, and I'm going for a vintage country rustic look.  And just like I've always dreamed, it looks like we'll be having the reception in a restored barn!  And I only have a little under three months to pull this all together since our date is October 4th.  Eeep!!  I now have a notebook which I affectionately refer to as "my brain".  In it, I write down every wedding thought that pops into my head because if I don't, I will most likely forget it.

And I'm shutting up now and going to bed.  Goodnight, all!

p.s.
By the way, there will be dancing at the reception! I can't wait!!

p.p.s.
I am sooooooo excited!!!  But you couldn't guess that, could you? *wink*
