Hannah and John ENGAGED!!!

We couldn't be happier for them!!!!!!



Isn't it Beautiful!!!!!!!  Hannah keeps saying ...
"I'm that person ~ engaged!!!!!!!!"

No date has been set yet ~
wedding planning to begin soon!!!!

Want the story of this precious couple getting engaged?
Oh my, what can I say.....except we are THRILLED with this wonderful engagement news that Hannah and John are engaged!!!!!!!!!  What a fun spell it has been.  John talked to Alden and I about 10 days ago (while Hannah was interviewing for her job!).  Of course, we gave our blessings!  John went to work on getting the ring and planning the special evening. 

This past Thursday night (March 1) he pulled it off!  He took her to a neat restaurant downtown DC ~ told her it was the celebration for her "new job"!  She kept wondering......could this be the time he is going to ask me to marry him?  She kept telling herself no.......couldn't be.  Sure enough, after dinner he took her up on the roof of this restaurant, that looks over the city.....beautiful!  AND......down on one knee, asked her to marry him.  She said YES and began to cry with happiness. 
They called both sets of parents to let us all know ~ so sweet!!!!!!!!  (They were still up on the roof)  :)  They were so happy!!!!!!! 
Then walked back down to the restaurant where their two houses of friends awaited them .......to celebrate!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!  SUCH a special, special time. 
We are so very happy with this news.  We welcome John into the family with open arms ~ he is such an amazing man and so perfect for Hannah.  They are GOOD together!  They want to live their life for God.....together as a couple! 

We do not know date or anything yet ~ planning will soon begin!  We'll certainly keep you updated.  :)  Let the planning begin!




The Smith and Forys families are SO very happy!!!!!!!!

We pray God's blessings on this couple ~ as they begin planning for this wonderful thing....
called MARRIAGE!
