I'm Engaged!

I can't believe it, but on December 21, 2007 Rodrigo asked me to marry him!

We had gone out to eat at our favorite restaurant, and then seen a movie, so it was late when we got back to my apartment. But, when we arrived, I opened the door to find pictures of him and me put up all over my apartment. As soon as I saw the pictures, I knew what was happening. We both got so nervous! There was a letter for me on my bed. We read the letter together, and then he got down on his knee and asked me to marry him! I said yes!

Here are some pictures of how my apartment looked:


Here's a closer picture of the ring.

Here's a picture of something I've been waiting to do for years! A few years ago, I wrote down all of the qualities I wanted in a husband and I wrote a prayer on the back. I put the list in an envelope, sealed it, and wrote on it, "Do not open until you're engaged." This was my way of giving all of my worries of finding a husband to God. I opened the envelope and Rodrigo and I read the list and the prayer together. As we read what I had written several years ago, it was obvious to me that Rodrigo was hand-picked for me by God and that he is the answer to my prayers!
Here I am opening the letter:

Just thought I'd share the good news!
