Hey, readers. Sorry it's been a while. I have been busy and out of town a lot. I got back from Spring Break. John and I got engaged on the 27th of December with John. It was during my christmas break.
Here's the reader's digest version. My mom, dad and sister went out of town earlier that day to go to visit my mom's parents for christmas. I didn't go. I convinced them (somehow) to let me stay home because John was there and he had something planned that afternoon/evening. John and I went to J Alexanders in Nashville. We've been there before and LOVE it. They have great steaks! Anyway, after that we went to our favorite spot in Down Town, Love Circle. There's this hill on this street that you can get to the top of and see the whole skyline of Nashville. It's beautiful, especially at night. He had brought his video camera he had gotten from his dad at christmas. After a little while of being on there with him he started talking about how wonderful I am and all these romantic things and I started to cry. A whole bunch of people started to come up the hill after we had been there for a little while and we moved so he could see a good view when he proposed... And then he proposed, and I couldn't say anything so I nodded. haha. Then we started calling people... I spent about an hour on the phone calling people I wanted to know.
Now, we've been engaged for about 3 months, and I'm loving it. We haven't set a definate date yet, but we've gotten a general time period we want to get married. We both want me to finish school first, and we want to get married the summer after I graduate. I'm enjoying engagement, but it's making it hard because he's already graduated from college and is working now in Nashville, and I'm in school about 2 and a half hours away (I go to school where he and his brother both went... What a coincidence). I met John at my home congregation in Nashville through his brother (who I was crushing on at the time). That was Christmas break about a year ago. The, we had our first date the night before I turned 20. Yea, I know. What good timing, right?!?!
Anyway.... Spring break was this past week. We tried to hook John's brother, James, up with our friend, Katlyn. But he didn't show up because he was gonna break up with his girlfriend. So, we'll have to try to do that later. That's ok. This past weekend, we celebrated his birthday, his best friend's birthday (Mike is his name) and this other guy's birthday (Patrick) here close to school. I had a BLAST... It was awesome. I can't wait to do this again. This coming weekend, John and I are going to his dad's house. There's a reason for it, but it's kind of a surprise. So once I know something else for sure, I'll be sure and write about it. I can't wait. I hope that this works out. I'll try to post some things more regularly now that I'm back and I have a computer in front of me.
