Post Numero 50

Today my family and I are attending a family member's wedding at the same church that Kyle and I will get married! Later today, we'll drive to Little Rock and continue getting Kyle settled into his new place of residence!

Yesterday, someone apparently became an ordained minister! My dad got a real kick out of a certain someone 'baptising' our puppy, Spot, and kitten, Doodle! When they threw the dog into the small pond in my parent's back yard, Spot just meandered out slowly. My dad describes the cat as "nearly walking on water" to get our of the pond! Little Doodle was not taking his sweet time to get out of there!

Engaged!

Two-thousand feet above sea level, on Round Top Mountain, Kyle and I enjoyed a wonderful picnic with his homemade yeast bread, homemade pimento cheese, a couple of apples and an advacado on May 31. A red blanket placed on the large rock overlooking the small town of Jasper and the birds soaring beneath us provided a picture perfect picnic. After we had feasted, Kyle asked me to marry him! I said, "Absolutely!" He then showed me the ring that he designed and my brother made for me! After we hiked down the mountain and began driving to our next hiking destination, we saw a dozen elk! I am very excited about our future together!
