Engagement

After dating for a little over a year, Nate proposed to me on April 1st, 2004.  I know, the irony!  April Fool's Day.  I have been asked several times if I thought it was an April Fool's joke.  Honestly, it never crossed my mind.  So it's a good thing it wasn't a joke!

Nate took me into my room where he had put in a cd that played "Will You Marry Me?" by Alabama.

I, of course, cried as he got down on one knee and opened up a little blue box.

Oh how I loved that ring...

{A not so funny story is attached to this ring and I will post that later.}

Things moved pretty fast after that.

We took engagement photos

{Wow!  I can't believe how young we were!}

And set the date for June 26, 2004
