Britta and Austin got engaged on Saturday!
Austin had called Bill that morning, so we had an {idea} it was coming, but he wasn't sure exactly when he would ask her. Around 11pm (Bill was down in the basement-turned-temporary-man-cave watching a delayed BYU game, and I was near drifting-off-to-dreamland in the comfort of my bed), Bill came running upstairs with my phone. He had heard the text jingle.
"Hey Momma! Are you still awake?"
"Si, señorita"
Then she called with the big news.
We couldn't be happier. Again.
They plan to get married here
in either late January or early February.
Britta said, "I don't want to overwhelm you with weddings."
Me? Overwhelmed? Never!
Bill couldn't contain his excitement yesterday at church. In his Priesthood meeting, a brother made the comment that it had been a hard year for him because his oldest had gone away to college, and his youngest had started kindergarten... his kids were growing up way too fast.
Bill had to interject, "What about two engagements in a week?"
Both weddings will be the first in all families (technically Britt's would be the second for us, BUT the first daughter's wedding...), so it should be a {fun} and {exciting} experience.
Despite the impending craziness and financial strain, Bill and I
honestly,
sincerely,
truly
couldn't be more happy.
Congrats to Britta! Her ring is very pretty, and you'll probably have a crazy next few months getting it all figured out!
ReplyDeleteThat's awesome. Congratulations to Britta. Her ring is beautiful!
