Where to begin.....
Well, we are still in the process of buying our place....wait! You probably want to hear about the exciting news on New Years Eve! We will update you on the house later!
On the count down to the New Year, as everyone chanted 10, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3..........2............1...............
HAPPY NEW YEARS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Willie got down on one knee and asked me to marry him!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
With a lot of excitement, a long pause, and Willie re-asking the question, I finally came out of my shock, surprise and excitement to tell him YES!!!!!!!!!!!! He caught me totally by surprise, as he always does, a master surpriser!
I think everyone would have expected a hike, but Willie knew just how to throw everyone off for a wonderful proposal. He not only surprised me, but he also found a beautiful ring with history behind it. The stone is the national stone of Argentina, the Rodocrosita, which is my favorite stone. We discovered it for the first time during our adventure living and volunteering in Argentina. The ring is over 100 years old, and is made of white gold with leaves on either side of the stone with diamonds inside.
We wanted to share our excitement and love with all of you as we jump into, not only the process of buying a house, but now the excitement of planning a wedding!
As for the news on the house......hopefully.....hopefully we will close this week......
Happy New Years! And we will be posting more regularly since Willie is now back, yay!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Katie and Willie
