I keep telling Brent he needs to post our latest happenings but if you can't tell by the lack of posts... he has ignored me. So here I am again to give you the dirt. But first, seriously, comment, make me feel loved by replying to my diatribes.
As you know, Brent came and surprised me for Christmas which was great. Over the weekend my dad and Joyce had their farewell for their mission down in Utah. The weather wasn't great on Friday so I am very thankful that Brent was here and willing to drive us to and from Utah for this trip. While we were there Brent got to meet all of my family. Since there are a total of 20 members to my family this was easily accomplished. Everyone seemed to like him and from what I can tell he liked them as well. Before we left on Sunday he and my father disappeared for a few minutes where it is my understanding Brent approached the subject of marrying me with my dad. I know this meant a lot to my dad since he declared afterward that I was getting a good man with Brent. Part of me wonders if Brent now ranks a little higher on the scales with my dad than I do... just kidding:)
The biggest news of the week can be titled "HE WENT TO JARED'S", anyone that lives within range of a Jared's Jewelery store will understand that one. I picked out some rings that I liked on Monday and yesterday Brent went and looked at them. As much as I wanted some sort of surprises with this I did end up in the jewelery store with him yesterday solidifying which ring will turn into my wedding ring. As best I can tell Brent even ordered the ring and bought it. It needed to be sized and the center stone needed to be placed so we left the store without any rings in hand.
So now permission has been given on each side from parents for this union (I figured I should ask Peggy since Brent asked my dad - Vince), rings have been purchased (I put money down on a ring for Brent... even though he can't make up his mind what he wants). Katie is on board for it - amazing, and now Brent just needs to actually ask me if I will marry him.
On one hand I really wanted to be surprised when he decided to ask me but now that I know he has gotten the ring I REALLY WANT IT! :)
