I'm engaged!!!!

So, we went to Rising Park in Lancaster for a picnic on April 17. It was a gorgeous day. I decided to take my camera to get more pics of us (little did I know that Ryan prayed that I would bring it cause he knew I would want pictures that night). So, we ate, had fun, took some pics of us. It was a lot of fun.

Then we decided to trek

up the mountain. Ha ha Well, it is. So, we

were having fun doing that too. We found a semi secluded spot, but the view wasn't the greatest, so he wanted to walk to the other parts, but there were couples at every crevice. So, he said, let's go back to "our" spot where we were before.

So, we were watching the sun set. Looking at the gorgeous view.

Hugging each other. Then I realized that his right hand had disappeared from around me and I didn't think too much of it.

Then we were talking about how perfect the night was and he said, "Well, then, I guess there's only one more thing to do." That's when he held up the ring in front of me and in between us and I covered my mouth with my hand and was like, "Oh my God!' Yes, I said it more than once. Ha ha Then he asked me, "Will you be my Isha?" For those who don't know Isha means wife/woman in Hebrew. I said, "YES!!!!" Duh, of course I said yes. God finally gave me the man that He created just for me. :) So, thus was our evening.

The diamond is a black diamond which actually is older than a white diamond. It's from space....a meteor to be exact. It's stronger than a white diamond and it's so perfectly me. I'm sooooooooooooo excited!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Our wedding date is August 29th at 1:30pm at ERC. Everyone is invited to the wedding. Hope to see you there.

Also, for those who want to know, we are registered at: Target, Walmart, and amazon.com (which you have to look under Ryan's name for some reason), we will also be accepting gift cards to these locations and monetary gifts (we are going to be buying a house too, so we're not sure what all we need, so cash is appreciated).

My friend Matt Berry

Hey, everyone, as most of you have probably already heard, my friend Matt Berry took his life on Friday morning. It has been a rough weekend for everyone who knew and loved Matt. That is for sure.

I've never been close to someone who has taken their life, so this has been pretty hard for me to deal with. When I heard, I was in shock and then I just cried for a good 30 minutes and just prayed for his family and friends. All throughout the rest of the night it would just hit me so hard that I would either tear up or start crying all over again. Sunday morning was hard to with everyone asking questions. I can hold up pretty well as long as I don't have to talk about things or think about them. I'm sure you all know how that is though.

I loved Matt, he was someone who could always brighten my day. Always saying something silly to make me laugh until I cried. His laugh was contagious, it made everyone around him join in even if they didn't know what he was laughing about. He was straight forward and genuine. Never beat around the bush. I loved debating with him about things cause no matter what, we could still be friends after the fact.

Gosh, he was a true friend to me for a season. Where we were both going through hard times and encouraging each other despite the situation. I learned more about his life then ever during that time. Enough to know that he was a really good guy.

I can still hear his laugh in my head and see his face. I remember him coming over and eating dinner or Sunday lunch with my family. I remember sitting on the back porch in the summer and just talking about stuff. Ohhh or our weekly trips to Rita's on Tuesday's that summer. So much fun. I'm glad that God granted me those moments with him.

Anyway, I would ask that you all be praying for the family and for his friends who knew him well. That God's exceeding grace and peace be upon them. That God would comfort them during this time. I know it's a rough time for everyone. Matt will always be remembered and loved.
