We had a fun, eventful Valentine's Day. We started off the morning with going to a breakfast for couples at our church. The women had to wear red and this is the reason for Shauna looking great in red.
We rarely go out to eat; however, I was able to take her to a nice dinner Valentine's night and this is us right before.
Though she knew it was coming sooner or later, she had no idea when I proposed asking her to marry me. I am actually really suprised that I was able to pull it off without her expecting it. She was really suprised and after she said yes, we were able to spend a really special moment together.
When we got back to the house after dinner, Chris and Lindy had the main hallway set up really nice lined with lit candles on both sides with rose petals down the middle of the hallway. They are truly amazing friends and gifts from God. Chris actually drew this sign for us and hung it at the end of the hallway. "Pongezi" means congratulations in Kiswahili. It was a day that I know both she and I will always remember. Afterwards, we both commented on how the whole day and night could not have gone any better. It was truly a perfect day!

OH MY GOODNESS!!! I'm SOOOO excited for you two!!!!!!!!!!! I wish I was there to hug and congratulate you in person!! Shauna, seeing your face in that picture brings tears to my eyes. I know you and Rich are going to be SO unbelievably happy together because I know this relationship has been dependent on God's will from day one. I only caught a glimpse of how hard it was for you to be apart for those 6 months, but now everything is how it should be and I could not be happier for you two! I love you so much :)
