dear daughters (an engagement story)

It was just a regular Tuesday.

IMG_5703

Will drank coffee on the front porch.

IMG_5719

But I smiled real big and told him it was better to wait inside.

So our family, along with Mimi and Papa, sat inside and waited and waited.

IMG_5776

Finally, two little love birds rang the doorbell.

IMG_5788

We threw open the doors and I grabbed my girl.

IMG_5791

For twenty-two years we prayed for this young man and then on a regular Tuesday it happened.

IMG_5805

Oh … my teeny tiny baby girl is engaged.

IMG_5800

Unspeakable joy. And all the feels.

IMG_5855

His name is David. He loves God and he loves our Sara.

IMG_5861

Why even my husband (who hates giving away his daughters) is pretty excited.

Kenton was kind enough to cart Will 3 and Amy around via Skype since they live in Denver.

IMG_5870

They were right in the middle of it even though they lives hundreds of miles away.

IMG_5891

Technology is such a gift.

IMG_5958

Just look at that big brother and his cute little wife listening to her story.

IMG_5899

I grabbed the camera from our Emily who took all these lovely photos so she could finally hug her baby sister.

IMG_5907

Oh gracious yes, it’s really happening.

IMG_5838And then Mimi gets a hug.

IMG_5850

And Papa gets a hug.

We sat around and listened as David told us all about how he took Sara to The Blue Bonnet Cafe in Marble Falls for dinner then drove to a special spot at sunset and dropped down on one knee.

Then it was off to the lake house where friends waited.

IMG_6005

Doesn’t his face say it all? He did it!

IMG_6015

They did it.

IMG_6021

They are engaged.

IMG_6036

The sweetest friends cheered and celebrated.

IMG_6058

And oh yes, the ring, of course.

IMG_6202

It was kind of a magical night for just being a Tuesday.

IMG_6405

Oh, y’all. Sara is engaged to David.

IMG_6394

And yes, we already warned him we’re kinda crazy. At least he knows some of what he’s getting into …

PS. Can’t get enough of this? Head over to Emily’s photo website for even more at emilyboone.com  (and get her to capture your happy moments too ;)

PPS. Will 3 and Amy recorded a portion of the Skype session … you can watch it on my Facebook page if you don’t mind hearing me squeal with uncensored joy here.
