Our daughter, Lauren has announced her engagement to Nathan. He took her to dinner Sunday evening then to their favorite park where he had decorated their tree with luminaries hanging in fruit jars, this is where he asked her.

Then he surprised her completely by having about 40 friends and family at his apartment with hot chocolate, symores and other goodies, to celebrate the event. Wedding to be in the spring.

BTW, Nathan has passed my rigorous interview process with background checks and all. He had met with Lauren's mother and me about three weeks earlier.

I wasn't surprised in the least when I saw Crakjak's announcement of Lauren
and Nathan's engagement on our BIG family website this morning. We had met
Nathan this summer at our Annual B----- Family Memorial Day Reunion (an annual
event we started to honor our parents after our Mom passed on. (Dad had passed
ten years earlier.)

They just seemed so right together, not even counting the way Lauren would
look at him! She never seemed interested in guys before, that we had noticed.
She just hadn't met the right one, that's all.

We are happy for Lauren and Nathan and pray the very best for them as they
look to the future together, in Jesus Name!

Hugs,
