Hello! Long time no post! I hope everyone had a wonderful holiday season and start to the new year. As for me, it turns out that ring was burning a bigger hole in my pocket than I thought. This past Saturday we went to a country church near my house that is very special to both of us for a few reasons. It was built in the late 1800s, I have had family members married there, I did my Eagle Scout project at the adjoining cemetery, and one of our first few dates included attending a special memorial day service there. I got up early and had her meet me there, then when she got there I sang a song and played my guitar and proposed. She said yes, promptly followed by, "you jerk, you made me cry!" We couldn't be more excited! Now the fun of planning a wedding begins
