Ana

He asked... I said yes!

The ring!!!!

Getting ready to come pick me up! He told me to be ready because we were going to dinner and a movie by 2:30... So I was ready at 2:30 and he kept stalling because we weren't supposed to be at the church til 3:00! ha...the only time i am ever ready he didn't expect me to be.

We were in my house getting ready to go and my mom comes by asking what our plans were so I told her, and she asked if we could stop by the church to pick up something for her for children's choir. So I said yea. So we head out, and I told Nathan that we could just stop by the church after dinner, but he insisted that we went then... Who knew. ha

So we get to the church, and we get out. He grabs this bag...I ask him why he is taking that in because it will take less than 5 min to get what we need and get out. His response was.. "I take this everywhere." My response back was.. "Only girls carry purses...." Not knowing what was inside.

We start walking and he tries to lead me to the chapel doors... and I was like no that is pointless these doors over here are closer to my moms office... Well he ends up convincing me to go through the chapel doors. We get to the "lobby" area and he tells me to close my eyes... My heart starts pounding. He says that he knows that I have been stressed and sad lately and he wanted to do something special for me. So I close my eyes and he leads me in. As we enter music starts to play.

He walked me into the chapel with my eyes closed. Lead me up to the stage.

He told me he had something to read to me. So he began to read 1 Corinthians 13.

"If I speak in the tongues of men and of angels, but have not loved, I am a noisy gong or a clanging cymbal. And if I have prophetic powers, and understand all mysteries and all knowledge, and if I have all faith, so as to remove mountains, but have not love, I am nothing. If I give away all I have, and if I deliver up my body to be burned, but have not love, I gain nothing. Love is patient and kind; love does not envy or boast; it is not arrogant or rude. It does not insist on its own way; it is not irritable or resentful; it does not rejoice at wrongdoing, but rejoices with the truth. Love bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things. Love never ends. As for prophecies, they will pass away; as for tongues, they will cease; as for knowledge, it will pass away. For we know in part and we prophesy in part, but when the perfect comes the partial will pass away. When I was a child, I spoke like a child, I thought like a child, I reasoned like a child. When I became a man, I gave up childish ways. For now we see in a mirror dimly, but then face to face. Now I know in part; then I shall know fully, even as I have been fully known. So now faith, hope and love abide, these three; but the greatest of these is love."
After reading he gave me a hug and told me he loved me. Then told me I could open my eyes. While opening my eyes he gets down on one knee and says some sweet things and asks if I will marry him!!
AHH I AM ENGAGED!

We headed back to his house to share dinner with our families. Then later that evening he invited several of our friends to come celebrate!

These next few pictures are from my blow out... (for those who don't know what that is... well it is when I tell my social club(sorority) that I am engaged). That is why I had to keep it a secret for a few days!
