We're ENGAGED!!!

I am soooo excited to annouce that John and I are engaged.  May 6th I decided to take a half day off of work because it was finally supposed to be nice outside.  John and I had been planning on taking Charley to the Sac and Fox trail for a walk and to let her swim.  Little did I know that this was going to be a walk I would never forget. 

We were stopped at a spot where Charley could swim and we were talking about how lucky we are to have one another and about how we can't wait to spend the rest of our lives together.  John asked me "Promise me you will stay with me forever" of course I said yes and was kind of thrown off by him asking me that question.  He then said "Then I only have one more thing to ask you" he then dropped to one knee and and asked me to spend the rest of my life with him and to marry him.  :-)  I said of course and so our story takes on a new chapter. 

We don't have any dates planned yet but are thinking sometime in the Spring and possibly at a winery outside of St. Louis.  We are both so excited and blessed.  I am so lucky to be marrying my best friend and live happily ever after :-)
