We're Engaged!!!

Jack and I got engaged on December 28, 2009. We were in London visiting his older brother's family along with his younger brother and sister-in-law. It was such a great time spending a week with them and really getting to know them on a much deeper level.


We're engaged!


Here we are at dinner with the rest of the family celebrating our engagement.




The West men and their ladies.


I am truly humbled that I get to marry Jack. He is a man of great character, integrity, love, compassion. Jack is everything that I have prayed for God to bring to me for as long as I can remember. He is someone who is sensitive, yet strong. He is patient, yet challenges me to be a better woman. He loves me unconditionally even when I may seem unlovable. He exemplifies what it means to put Christ first every single day above anyone else, including me. He loves me not for what I can do for him, but for who I am to Him. He brings me joy in the most indescribable ways. I love him more every day that passes. He has pursued me not just with his words, but his actions.

We have walked through some challenging situations and the grace that he gives seems to seep out of his pores. He can see God's goodness in just about every situation, no matter how bad it may seem. He loves God with his entire being and I am proud that I get to call him my fiance and soon to be husband. I can't wait to see what direction God sends us in. All I know is this, I am a better woman because God is allowing me to love Jack and be loved in return by him. Please pray for us as we walk towards marriage with one another.

Here are a couple of pictures of us over the past two years. :)
