We're getting married!

RaeAnn's nursing school roommate Taira was dating a guy in the Army deployed in Afghanistan. During a study break she brought up that he had a roommate that RaeAnn might be interested in. RaeAnn had 3 questions: how old, how tall, what faith. She liked the answers and asked for a picture; for her it was love at first site. Taira asked her boyfriend to show Brandon a picture of RaeAnn and it turns out he was interested too. When they came back from their deployment we started talking. A month into talking RaeAnn and Taira drove down to Oklahoma for a paintball game to meet Brandon. We hugged, he was taller, it was destiny.

It was the most wonderful time of the year! We were in Nebraska for Christmas and we had opened all the gifts; except one. The last present under the tree was a shoebox sized box with no label. When it was handed to RaeAnn she opened it to find an empty box. She looked up confused to find Brandon on one knee, and a ring in his hand. Tears ensued (naturally) and we shared the news with our friends and family. Now we can't wait to share our special day with you all!
