Engaged!

In case you couldn't tell by the name of this blog post, Jeremy and I have some exciting news!  We are engaged!  Jeremy surprised me after my last class on Friday with roses.  It took me a minute to put two and two together, realizing that he was actually up in Virginia!  (For those of you who don't know, Jeremy moved to Florida in June to be a part of the Aletheia Gainesville church plant.)   After my shift at work on Saturday, we spent the day going back to places in Harrisonburg that were significant to us during our friendship and dating relationship.  We ended up at JMU's quad in the freezing cold and starry night above us.

We found ourselves sitting on the steps of Wilson Hall over a year and a half ago after Harrisonburg failed to launch fireworks on the 4th of July.  This turned into a significant night for us as we talked about our future -- we were not yet dating at the time.  We talked about our future yet again on the night of February 9th as Jeremy asked me to marry him.  I of course said yes, so here we are as a newly engaged couple!  Jeremy heads back to Florida this afternoon, so we still haven't figured out everything as far as our date and what not, but we will definitely keep you posted as we plan more.  

With Love,
Jeremy & Janelle
