A look back

Six years ago today, Kevin and I got engaged. It was the 15th... the Friday after Valentine's Day. Since we both had commitments at church, we celebrated a day late.


We got all dressed up and when Kevin picked me up, he "conveniently" got a phone call requiring us at the church. I knew better, but I played dumb. Kevin honestly thought that I didn't know anything was up until the evening was over.


Anyway, we got to the church sanctuary and the lights were all dim. He told me how much he loved me (we'd never said that before) and then got down on one knee. Then we hugged and prayed together... did I mention that we didn't kiss until a few weeks after we got engaged. I know, what were we thinking!?! Best first kiss EVER though ; )


He had his friends set up a video camera, so it's all on tape. Although you can't hear what we are saying. I think it's kind of nice that part of it is still private. It would be nice to look back on what we said though.

Wow - how awesome watching you two "grow up" (and into you three)! More than one mom is crying watching this. I loved getting to see it - like watching a rose bloom in fast motion!

Love,
"Mom"
