Happy One Year Engagement!

Today is mine and Travis' one year engagement anniversary. I can't believe that it has been one year already. It has flown by so quickly. I promise everyone that there will be a wedding in the future for us but we know that it is just not time yet right now. We love each other so much that we want to follow God's plan for our lives and if that means waiting then that is what we will do. Everything is better in God's timing, plus I am just enjoying being engaged. We want to cherish this because we will only get it once, then we are stuck with each other for life. Its ok, I think that I will keep him. (Training takes way to long. I don't want to have to have to start all over again.) Anyways I want to share some pictures from our special night with everyone and then the video of Travis proposing. Now just remember that he was so nervous that his words don't make sense, but I said yes anyway. I knew what he meant and that's all that matters. Let me set the scene for you all, It was a Friday night and my mom decided to have a Christmas party with both sets of families. (Travis' and mine) Now we were playing the White Elephant game and it came time for his turn and Travis got up and went into our kitchen and he came back with a Starbucks bag that he sat on my lap. Inside was a normal size brown box that I pulled out. He told me to open it, so I did and there was another little size round ring box with a pink ribbon tied around it to keep it closed. I untied the pink ribbon and opened the lid and there sat the ring. And now you can watch the video for yourself to see what happens. Keep in mind that both sets of family are there to scream and yell and cheer. Its was so much fun and so cute that he did it so all of our family could be apart of that special moment.

The reason you hear Ti say, "Umm Trav you better get over here." it is because Sami is crying. She thought that Travis was taking me away from her. It was so cute.

Here is my new added family and I love everyone of them!!

Look at us now, one year later and we love each other more today than we did when Travis proposed. If I love him this much now then I can't wait to feel how much I love him after being together 50 years.
