if you’re ready/like I’m ready

Well, it’s an exciting time at Providential Life friends – Jeff and I got engaged this weekend!

This is the photo from Mary (thanks Mary!)

We are very excited for all that the year ahead will bring, but especially thankful that all of our friends were present for our big moment. Jeff proposed by the ocean, at sunset, two of our favorite things, with friends close by.

Before we were engaged, we were goofing off, per usual. Here, Mary, Ryan, and I nail the jumping shot on the first try.

Jeff was trying to propose, and I was meanwhile setting up a group photo. He was acting unusually frustrated – and now I know why…he wanted to propose!

And afterward, we got some shots with various friends, which was so fun and special!

Here we are updating facebook/instagram/etc with the news!

We were at the beach to celebrate Rebecca’s move to London, and so everyone we loved was there, luckily!

Thank you to everyone who came out and made the night so special (despite the fact that no one knew!) It was certainly a night to remember!

I am so excited to marry my best friend. I am so glad I got proposed to around all my friends, and then was able to enjoy a turkey sandwich. Afterwards, on the way home, Jeff and I stopped for In-n-Out fries and a shake to celebrate, and we talked about the night, which still feels so surreal, and I couldn’t help but think, I am the luckiest.

I love you, J. I love you, friends. It is truly a good, wonderful life we live.

 

Dream Post 4: A fake proposal, a postponed wedding?

ugly-ring

I have had two weird dreams this weekend.

1:

I was on the beach with Jeff, and we were on vacation. He was talking about how much he loved me, and then got down on one knee to propose. I was about to say yes, when he says: “JUST KIDDING!” I was very upset, and he was like, “I can’t believe you didn’t realize I was joking. Look how ugly the ring is! I would never give you such an ugly ring.” And I looked down, and it WAS ugly. But, not funny.

2:

I was at a church, waiting to get married to Jeff. I was with Nikita, my sister, and she and I were getting ready, and I realized I had forgotten to ask Jeff whether or not it was OK that we were getting married at a Catholic church. So I had someone go ask him, and he said, “sure.” My dress was long sleeved, and terrible, but I was excited, anyways. THEN I realized I had forgotten to tell my BFF, Lauren, that I was getting married. And so I call her up to tell her, and she is VERY ANGRY and tells me she can’t believe that I would not tell her. So we had to postpone the wedding.

Influences on the dreams? Could be watching the Godfather last night (hence ugly dress) or it could just be I’m crazy.
