Will You Marry Me?

When I chose my theme for the A-Z Blog Challenge this year ('married with children'), it's possible I was privy to a secret that today I can finally share.

P is for Proposal

My precious first born baby girl and her sweet boy are officially engaged!


He asked the question last night, she said yes, and now all that's left is the happily ever after.

They're headed here for the weekend and I cannot wait to hug my girl, gush over her ring, and overwhelm my future son in law with excessive picture taking, happy tears, and lots of words. I will try to contain myself, but y'all...hubs had a phone call from the boyfriend over two months ago, so we have been keeping this quiet for what feels like forever. Daughter1 couldn't believe it when we told her how long we'd known the plan, and her sister even got to see the ring way back in early February. February!! I know!!

The groom was away for six weeks on an assignment and then there is all the distance and complicated logistics to be worked out, so Easter weekend was the day. Personally I cannot think of a better weekend to ask a sweet, tender-hearted, faithful girl to be your bride.

I have much more to say-ha!, but there's a whole lot happening here this weekend, and I don't want to miss a minute. I'd love for you to hop over to Daughter1's blog and say hello.  As you might imagine, she is only a little bit over the moon.
