Our Family Keeps Growing!!!

We have some exciting news!! Steven has popped the question. Yep, that’s right, he proposed to Emily Friday night. Oh and by the way, she said YES!! After 2 weeks of looking for the perfect ring (that he could afford) he took Emily to a very nice resturant for a romantic dinner. He wanted her to think that just maybe he was going to propose but he didn’t. While they were at dinner he had arranged for me to go to their house and prepare the actual engagement setting. Sooo, I made chocolate covered strawberries and went to his house. When I got there, I had to get what seemed like a hundred candles lit. I then made a big heart on the bed with rose petals as well as a path of petals from the door to the bed. I put out 2 wine glasses and a bottle of wine he had bought. I then had to get the music ready. He made a cd just for this night. So you get the picture….very romantic setting. Oh and by the way the engagement ring was set up in the middle of the tray of chocolate covered strawberries. He  brought Emily home and unlocked the front door. From what I hear (i left so they would be alone) Emily started crying as soon as she saw the rose petals on the floor and all of the candles lit. I have included a few pictures on here to show you how nice it was. We are very excited about having Emily as an official part of our family. It already seems like she is family since they have been together for almost 4 years. But it’s nice for it to be more official. They are planning the wedding for next September or October.

 Wow!, is it possible that Roger and I are old enough to have both of our kids married AND a granddaughter that is almost 2 years old. SURELY NOT!!
