It's Official

It's official.

Rusty and I are getting hitched! We went to San Antonio on Saturday (sorry it's taken me son long to get this blogged about! It's been a busy week!) and we went to see Jonathan and my parents who were hanging out with him at the hospital while he got some Potassium infusion (He's doing fine. Home and back to his old self). My parent's asked if we wanted to go to lunch with them and Rusty very quickly answered no, and I just said, I guess not. So Rusty and I went to the Japanese Tea Gardens and were walking around. He had been wearing this necklace chain for a few days and any time I asked about it he just said it was his CTR medallion. Me, not really catching on, just shrugged it off as it really was his CTR medallion! So on Saturday while walking around I asked him about it again. He finally said he would show it to me, and started to take off the chain. He then got on one knee and took the ring off the chain and asked! Obviously I said yes...

I'll have to post pictures of the ring. I, for some reason, haven't taken any on anything but my phone, and those just aren't that good. He actually made the ring I wear right now since he has designed one that isn't ready yet. So, I love this ring, and I'm sure I'll love the other one too!

The date is October 15th for the wedding and October 16th for the reception. (Yes Tami, we moved it up again, but only so we could get the place for the reception. Believe me, it was worth it to move it up one week!) We just signed the contract for the place we're having the reception, and I LOVE IT! So, I will be getting in contact with all of you to get your addresses!

How exciting is this??

Amy, I'm finally joining you and Jillian. I guess Ashley and I couldn't hold off forever once we found the right ones! :)

Holy Cow! That is darn good news! Congrats. Being married is the best...so is motherhood...then again, so is taking a nap. (But being married and motherhood does rank a little higher, just in case you think I'm a little coo-coo.) :)

Can't wait to see pictures!
