Well, this is probably the post that many of you have been waiting for. What's that do you ask? Oh, don't play coy with me! I know that all of you who know Jason and I have been secretely waiting for the post that says...."I'm engaged!"
Well ladies and...uh, ladies (I don't think there are any gents who read this) **Edit: There are some men that have read this and sooooo I take that back! Ladies and gents, Jason and I are ENGAGED!!!
Jason proposed on Sunday night while we were walking down the beach (yeah, after the Custom House on Day 8 of vacation). It was so sweet and intimate. Just the way that I imagined it would be. Perfect! It's still a little nuts. I mean I know that I'm engaged and that we are getting married and yet...it still feels surreal. It's been nice keeping it hush hush for the last few days. It's given us a little time to adjust to the idea. Crazy! I am just so thankful to our great God who has showed Himself to be SO faithful through out our relationship. He has been our Rock through our friendship and dating relationship, He is our Rock during this crazy planning time, and will be our Rock in the years to come. I am so thankful to the Lord that He has given Jason to me as a best friend, now a fiance, and soon...a husband. Praise God!
So my fabulous friends...there you have it! We were a little nervous to let it out in the open (I don't really know why...I think that it's just been slightly anticipated by a few :- ), but eventually we gotta spill the beans! :-) Anyways, I thought that tomorrow I would post a little more on the details of the proposal...it seems every girl wants to know all about that. I know I always do! (I'll see what I can remember. It was sort of a blur.)
Olivia! I fully laughed outloud when I read your comment on the last post. Funny stuff!
Also...let me not forget...a couple of pictures. :-) (It is really hard to get a good picture of a ring...it took me a few tries. The pictures don't do it justice but that's ok!)

I saw your status on Facebook and ran (clicked?) right over here to get the story!!! Exciting!
I don't know why I was so hesitant to change my status on facebook. It's just a really fast way for everyone to know. It kinda freaked me out. haha. Oh well. Better that everyone knows at one time I guess! :-)
Everyone at the church office knows now... emails are flying left and right!!! :0) Such excitement!
LOL!!! Oh my goodness! What a crack up!!!
Congrats Anna. I was agreeing with Liv and wondering when you 2 would get engaged, I mean you were dating when I got married. That ring is SO beautiful!!!! Good job Jason. Can't wait to hear more details. :)
Congrats you, two. Rejoicing and praising the Lord with you... Pastor Tim
congratulations you guys! I was just wondering about you two the other day--way to get in the game Jason! There's a ton of rejoicing going alongside you right now.

Hallelujah! I had a hunch it was coming during your little vacation. I'm so stinkin excited anna : ) Actually I think sometimes I forgot that you weren't already engaged! Congratulations you old-almost-married-woman.
Oh Anna - it's absolutely beautiful! I just love the sides! Don't you just stare at it all day long?? I'm excited to hear the details... when I told Travis yesterday, he was so excited for you too, HE wanted to hear all the details, but I didn't really have any to share! :-) I know what you mean about being hesitant to share - I felt the same way, and the same way when I got preggo! :-) Us girls are too funny...
