The Official Announcement

Dan proposed to me this past Sunday! We were in church and I askd for a tissue. He handed me a waded up tissue from his pocket (after assuring me it was clean) and when I unwrapped it I discovered my ring. He asked me to marry him and of course I said "yes!" He later said that he had the ring in his pocket because he was waiting for the right moment and he wrapped it in tissue to keep it from getting scratched. I "busted out his hiding place" when I asked for a tissue so he decided the time was then!

We're very excited (as is Madeline) and we haven't set a date yet. We're thinking we'll go the small and simple route with a nice party afterwards for all our family and friends. Or maybe we'll steal "Grandpa Hairy's" idea and have a captain on a cruise ship marry us! I'll keep you posted!!
