I'm Engaged!!!

So apparently I should have posted a long time ago already, because on January 20 Marvin asked me to marry him!!!! So exciting...and I guess I have been really busy since then with exams and clinical, but now I'm just so excited and I'm having a lot of fun planning and yeah, here's the story of how it all happened, even though I know most of you have already heard it!

The Story...
My mom had given Marvin the keys for my house in Winnipeg, so he snuck into my house in the morning at 7:30am and then he set everything up and woke me up at 9am. He said that I should wear something fancy and then he came in all dressed up also. Then he gave me this journal with lots of writing in it, and in the beginning it was talking about how we were going to go on a journey...

So then I walked out of my room and down the stairs and in the kitchen, living room and basement there were candles, and beside each candle there was a picture, pictures starting from when we first started dating till now. Each picture had a journal page written about it and the meaning of the picture...

The trail of candles led me to an empty room in the basement, and there was a cd player with Hillsongs playing and there were two chairs and a blanket, and also a big poster of the verses found in 1 Corinthians 13:4-7 (because earlier in the week I had told him how much I liked those verses, and now they just fit right in!) and then after I had looked at the poster I turned around and then Marvin got on one knee and asked me to marry him and I said yes! Oh yeah, and then he gave me a foot massage because I really like those! And then he made me such a yummy lunch of bacon, eggs, hashbrowns and toast and milkshakes!

And I have a beautiful ring, too bad I don't have a webcam or else I would show you all a picture! So we don't really know that much about the wedding yet, but it will probably be sometime at the beginning of August. Well now I should go and study for my exam that I have next week Monday, hopefully I can somehow stay motivated for school! God bless you!
