We've been talking about it for a while and last Sunday both of us got confirmations and I wanted to wait to tell people until October but right now it's hard because I want to be with him already and because this past week has been challenging to say the least. I need support and encouragement! Ricky is doing the best he can to support me (well, of course he wants it too!:) he is the best future husband ever he's so sweet and he puts up with me and truly loves me and he gives me opportunities to learn. Already I've learned so much; that's what I love most about him I think. My family and friends have been really supportive too. Especially Debbie because we can talk to each other now that we're both engaged and I think we're having a double reception if we can. It would be fun and we would be inviting the same people pretty much. So.. yay!!!!! I'm really happy these days and just looking forward to seeing him and now I know what Debbie meant about looking forward to having a shiny ring on her finger, not because it's pretty or expensive but because of what it symbolizes - love, sacrifice for me, commitment, and forever. :)
Today something wonderful happened. Annalaura came to visit me at work right before she was about to leave and she gave me a big hug and told me that I could call her anytime for advice and I felt sooooo encouraged and I just had to write that I was really grateful to see her because she's going through a crazy engagement as well and I have always looked up to her and she has definitely been an example and inspiration to me because she knows that it's right and so do I and she didn't hesitate, she had to act. Well, me too. And I am so grateful that I am. And just the way that she smiled at me today was just so encouraging - I felt truly blessed because I wasn't feeling so great yesterday and I was just searching for just a little extra help from the Lord. And I got it.
Anyway, so I have to go because Debbie's waiting for me now. :)
Love,
Stephi
