Lots of Pics!

It's been a while since I've updated my blog. And, i have lots of photos to share! We went to the parade of lights a couple of weekends ago. It was a lot of fun and not as cold as I thought it was going to be! There were tons of lighted floats and marching bands.

A Christmas parade wouldn't be complete without Rudolph and Santa

Me, Ben, Abby, Shiloh, Mary, and Britt

Over Thanksgiving, my grandma wanted to take family pictures. And, since I just got engaged earlier that day, she snapped a few engagement photos of us. I think they turned out great.

I'm ENGAGED!!!!!!

YAY!!! I'm engaged! And so excited!

I don't really know how to start this post....

Over Thanksgiving Ben asked me to marry him. I was completely shocked and so happy! I took Ben home to Oklahoma for Thanksgiving to meet all of the extended family. Ben is the first boy I have ever taken home. We had a great time with everyone and we ate tons of food.

Saturday morning we ran a little 5K race. After the race, Ben completely shocked me by getting on one knee and asking me to marry him. I don't remember much of anything he said. I started crying, he started tearing up, my sister was off to the side crying, and my brother in law was taking pictures. I absolutely love my ring...he picked it out all by himself!

Ben had asked my dad the night before for his permission and that meant so much to me. After the race, we went back to my grandparent's house where everyone was waiting for us. It was such an amazing day!

My grandma is a photographer. Later that day she snapped a few engagement photos of us, which i'm super excited about!

Let the planning begin!

I was so surprised!

It's so shiny and sparkly
