Our Engagement Party!!

We had an incredible engagement party Saturday February 21 at the Conley's. It was beautiful and pink! Both our moms worked hard to throw the bash together!!! They did a fabulous job. We had some family and friends get together to celebrate with us over some great food and words of wisdom. It was so special to be able to acknowledge our engagement and start the countdown of the big day!!! Thank you to all the people that helped out with the party! We appreciate you!!

We're Engaged!!! Our story!!

On December 5, 2008 Chris and I got engaged. Chris and I decided to take Tuck to shadow cliffs to go for a walk, like we normally do. My brother called and wanted to go fishing so Chris thought he would just bring his fishing poll to join in. Then Melissa called and wanted to come to with Tate and Bauer. So we all met about 2:30 and went walking down to the water. We were all just talking have a good time while the dogs were being more annoying than usual. Kyle and Chris started fishing and then Chris offered me a turn to try. He told me to hold the poll for him while he put an easier bait on so I could actually catch something. And I did....he told me to reel up the line so I did and on the end was a dangling little red box. I seriously thought he was kidding so I gave him a look...(the you better not be playing a joke on me look). He told me to open it and when I did there was a perfect diamond ring and Chris down on one knee with tears in his eyes. He asked me to marry him then I started crying and of course said yes. It was the best moment of my life. God has truly blessed me. After Melissa took a few pictures Chris had one more thing to show me. He had carved A+C with a heart around it and December 5, 2008 in a tree by the water. I will post picture as soon as I get them from Mel. Until then here is what I found when I opened my big catch.
