I have an announcement

Jeff and I have been talking about getting married for a while. I knew a proposal was coming, I just didn't know when.

Sunday he went to church with me and then we went to his parent's house for dinner. After we ate, everyone was sitting around talking (everyone being his mom and dad, his niece, his sister, her husband and their two boys). Jeff stood up and I gave him a look like, "what are you doing?" He got everyone's attention. He talked about how his life had been rough, he had been unhappy and then he met me. This year has been a huge turning point in his life and he couldn't imagine life without me.

He walked towards me and got down on one knee. I hissed, "You're embarrassing me." He just simply asked me to marry him. I said yes!

Tears and hugs all around. His niece and nephew wrote a poem that was so tender and we plan to display it at our reception.

I of course like the one you showed us at work. Also, like the one that has the v, I think you said cause it helps with your issues with the chest:) Also, I like the strapless one!! would have to put sleeves, but I liked it:) LOVE YA GIRL!
