We're Engaged!

After 4 years, 3 months, and 15 days of dating the most amazing guy on this Earth, I now have a fiancĂ© y'all! We're engaged!!! This past weekend has literally felt like a dream come true and I am beyond excited to start on this new journey of planning a wonderful wedding and an even more amazing marriage with Joshua. 

I won't list all the details right now as I am working on a long post explaining it all because let me tell you, Josh planned the most perfect engagement day. Here are a few clues: the engagement process lasted 10 hours, expanded over 184 miles, involved our family and closest friends, and ended right in the location where Josh and I went on our first "date" before either one of us knew we liked the other! Not to mention, Josh had our sweetest friend Shelby, videoing and photographing the entire thing. Once we get the pictures and movie back from her, I'll do a more extensive post...for now a few cell phone pictures will have to do!


Josh and I cannot thank our family and friends enough for everything they did to make our engagement truly one of a kind! Thank you to everyone who has guided us and prayed for us over the past 4 and a half years, there is no doubt we would not be where we are today without each of you! 

Since I am on spring break till Sunday, Josh and I will be traveling almost everyday to get around the state (and Georgia!) so we can see some special people...I'm looking forward to every minute of it!
