Finally, the BIG Announcement...

When we were visitng Keith's Mom for her birthday party, Andy came to Keith and asked his permission to marry Jess.  We had a feeling it was going to happen then, so Keith gave it alot of thought and prepared some questions for him to discuss with Andy.  From what I heard, it was a very sweet time for the both of them. 

Yesterday, Andy took Jess out for a dinner and then they were scheduled to take a special tour of the Capital building.  As they were going through the Capital, Andy got down on one knee and proposed to Jess, from a very special place overlooking the city of Washington, D.C.  She said, "YES!!!!" So he slipped a ring on her finger. 

It's not everyday someone gets engaged at the Capital!  :)  He had taken special care to make all these special arrangements.  He had told us, it would have been sooner, but since Jess had started working in Hartford 4 days a week, it was a bit harder to make the plans earlier. 

We are thanking the Lord for providing Jess with a young man who loves the Lord and who deeply cares for her and will take care of her.  Looking forward to helping them plan their upcoming wedding.  Most of all, we're looking forward to having a wonderful son in our family!
