So its Lookin' Like I am Getting Married!

Dear Friendies,

Chris proposed!! Being the wonderfully romantic man that he is, and his honey-bun being so far away (that would be me), he decided to send flowers from a company in the states to Bulgaria that would be delivered to my address in Shumen. Since we are poor (and can't afford $1500 plane tickets) and a ring would get stolen in the mail he was kind of stuck as far as options. And Bulgaria being the place it is, the flowers never got to me. We waited and waited and I had to leave for a kids camp by the Black Sea in a matter of hours and the flowers and the letter (with the proposal inside never came)! It was too early in the states to call the company where the flowers were ordered and I was leaving for a camp for a weeks with no internet or cell service within minutes. Chris was pretty disappointed, but the effort for romance means more than the actual action.

I searched the entire village yesterday and this morning for internet and finally found access at a little cafe called, Sunshine and Love! Haha...and opened my email to a beautiful letter about the evolution of our relationship and how the Lord is molding it to bring glory to himself.

Our story is rather unique, but its ours and I treasure it so deeply. I love Christopher's romantic spirit and I love that God has a sense of humor in how He rearranges our expectations of ourselves and what a proposal should look like. I love you Christopher and our engagement is perfect and I would not change anything for the world! You are a true romancer and what a story our engagement is to tell...
