Engaged.

Meanwhile, back at the ranch...

Saturday, May 21

Jonah proposed to Mar ♥

I seriously can't tell from these happy pics that Mar had called me the day before to tell me she felt like she was going to die. All I can say is... "the things we do for love (the things we do for love)."

The proposal was very sweet. Jonah sang to Mar on the drive over to the church (and video recorded it). I'm guessing he chose to propose there because that's where they met. His family was there to take pictures and video, and to toast the happy couple afterwards.

I wish a few things could have been different, especially that Mar could have felt better and that we could have been in town to celebrate and congratulate her in person.

She had waited for this day for her whole life, and despite being sick and alone at home, 

she was so happy.

And true lasting happiness is all a momma wants for her children.

Congratulations, Mauri and Jonah!
