This is where it all started!

Tim and I had been talking about getting engaged since about October. I knew it wouldn't happen for a while, but little did I know, Tim had a plan up his sleeve. I thought it would be our anniversary which is the beginning of January or maybe Valentines..but then Tim threw me a bone..He kept saying "This is going to be the best Christmas you ever had"! So that got me thinking a ring was coming..

Fast forward to Christmas..

We did presents with his nephews at his sister Tracey's Christmas morning, then went to Scott and Courtney's to see his other nephews. We then went back to Tim's to do our Christmas together and open presents. When all the presents were opened, and there wasn't a ring, I was for sure that it was going to happen sometime in the next couple of months.

We then get ready to go to the family Christmas dinner at Scott and Courtney's house. We all mingled for a while and prepared for dinner. When it was time to serve the meal, everyone gathered in the living room. I sat on the couch and Tim stood next to me, holding my hand before he gave the blessing as he does every year. A few words in his voice got very shaky and he started to get a little emotional. He then started saying thank you for all the people who love and support us and said "the lord says that where your treasure is your heart will follow" (which is a bible verse from our bible study we did together), and the next thing I knew when I opened my eyes is that he was on one knee asking me to marry him!...And of course, I said YES!
