Yes, That’s right, for those of you who didn’t know, I am engaged.
I met Amanda a long time ago, but we never really hung out until after meeting up at the Christmas Parade last year. Then we met up again at the New Years Party and then at that time we decided that we would only be friends.
But after only a week more of hanging out we knew there was more here than just a friendship.
Now this all came just after I collected my thoughts on dating and marriage so we had a discussion with her pastor on the issue when we got to talking one night, which led me and Amanda to have a discussion of our own. We knew then that we would like to be married, but I don’t know about her, but I wanted more time to fully wake up to this. So we told our families, and talked to my pastor, but never really made an official announcement.
Now about a month ago, we got to playing around with some dates and finally decided that God willing we’d like to be married May 2nd the first weekend in May while it was still spring next year. And from there she started telling people out of excitement. I was wanting to get her a ring first because to me it seems unofficial without it, but I didn’t want to stifle her excitement so I said go ahead.
I finally caught up cuz I’m slow with such things, so I wanted to tell as many people in real life before I blogged about it. And then I realized I can’t get the word out fast enough.
Well here it, is. We have the rings. My Grandparents’ wedding and engagement ring. This last Saturday we went to Fairfield to get them sized and fixed up for us. I was expecting to spend so much money so I saved, and then God blessed it and made it not cost near as much as I thought they would.
This weekend I should have the rings at which time we will according to my “C” type personality will be officially engaged.
