Hello Xanga Friends,
Guess what?
I’m ENGAGED!!! 
Yup! That’s right – One week ago today Andre Fredette asked me to marry him and I said yes! ![]()
For all you ‘romantic at heart’ people out there – here is the story. ![]()
So,
two weeks ago today Andre called my dad and asked for permission to
marry me (I didn’t know about this of course). The following Wednesday
we both flew into Richmond, VA to work at the Lamplighter Booth at the
HEAV convention. We were able to stay at the Shanks (some dear friends
of ours) during the convention (THANKS Y’ALL for your amazing
hospitality) We worked the convention Thurs- Sat. Sunday after church
we just went back to the house to relax. Monday, we decided to go to
the beach
.

So, Lydia, Mrs. Shanks, Andre and I drove down to the beach, picking up
my dear friend Chelsea Miller on the way (Sam, her husband met us there
later). We dropped off Mrs. Shanks at her daughter’s house and then
went on to the beach. We had a great time just playing in the waves and
laying in the sun.
After we were through and took everything back
to the car, Andre said he wanted to go walk on the beach. Everyone else
decided to go change while Andre and I went for a walk on the beach. He
started out by talking about how much we have grown in the last year,
in both our relationships with God and with each other. He then went on
to tell me how much he loves me. He stopped and faced me at this point,
then got down on one knee, with ring in hand (absolutely beautiful ring
i might add, I will post pics when I get some of it.) and asked me to
marry him. I think I said yes like 4 times.
![]()
Until I get a real picture of the ring I will leave you with this… hehehehe
We would appreciate any and all prayers as we continue on this journey. ![]()
