Look What Happened Christmas Eve!

Every Christmas Eve we go to the service a FBC Hewitt, the church I grew up in. After it is over, I usually go and try to find Mary Ann. This year I saw her and ran over there, but by the time we got there she was gone. I was so sad! Her mom said that she left, but that she was coming back. What? She then informed me that Kevin was going to ask her to marry him that night, at the church! I just immediately started crying and said, "I am not leaving! We have waited our whole lives for this moment and I am going to stay!" They told me Kevin wanted me to stay, so we tried to get EVERYONE out of the sanctuary and turn the lights down as soon as possible. Mary Ann's mom called Kevin, told him she had left without picking up her poinsetta from the front of the church, and asked them to please come back and get it before they went to her house for dinner. We knew Mary Ann would not be happy about coming all the way back for that! We hid in the little sound room until we heard them walk in the doors. He walked her down to the front where only one light was on, grabbed her hand, and proposed! She was totally shocked and freaking out! As soon as he got up off one knee, we all ran down the aisle to see them. It was so great, and I am so thankful God orchestrated all that so I could be there. Isn't He amazing?! Here are some pictures. I only had my phone at the church, so that one is not good, but my mom took more when we got to my house. Now I just have to fit into my bridesmaid dress 6 weeks after giving birth! Help! Woohoo for August 8, 2009! I can't wait!

Crying hugs!

Kevin and Mary Ann

Looking at the fabulous ring!

Best Friends!
