We're getting married!

These two met at the end of July in 2016. Brittany’s new roommate, Emily was moving in. She needed help setting up furniture in her room, so her boyfriend invited his best friend Willie (who happened to be very handy) over to assist. Brittany got home from class, made a bowl of macoroni and cheese, put on sweatpants, and went to greet Emily and her helpers. Brittany walked to the doorway and with a mouth full of macaroni said, "hi". Willie looked instantly nervous, and he knew right then that she was the one for him. They all enjoyed the evening together, and he even fixed a few things around the house! The next day Willie came back to hang out with Brittany...and the next day, and the next day, and the next.... it was magic from the start.

It was Christmas, we awoke before the children. We tiptoed into their rooms and woke them up with gentle nudging. “It’s christmas!” We told them. We watched from behind as the kids entered the living room. Their eyes full of amazement at what Santa had brought. The next couple of hours were filled with smiles, and ripped Christmas paper everywhere. We enjoyed exchanging gifts, and managed to get the mounds of paper cleaned up. Once all of the gifts had been opened, William announced to Brittany and Brynn that he had one more gift for mom. But it was hidden, and would need to be found. Brittany and Brynn looked all around the living room, when Brynn spotted an ornament on the tree. It looked like a little present, so she pulled it off. She had found the last gift. Brittany proceeded to open it, and William proceeded to get down on one knee. A precious moment shared on one of the most wonderful days of the year. Oh, and she said “yes!”
