Big News!!!

On Thursday evening I took Carrie out to eat at the Olive Garden. After our supper we headed for downtown Chattanooga to the Walnut Street Bridge. We walked accross the bridge and then down by the Aquarium to some fountains that Carrie and Jaclyn have played in before. Then we walked up to the Hunter Art Museum's platform that overlooks the bridge and water. After about 3 or more couples had come and gone, there was finally a moment when we were alone. I finally got up the nerve and asked her to marry me!!!! And she said yes!!!!! Needless to say we didn't watch the baseball play-offs as we had talked about.

Carrie by the fountains.

This picture was taken a few minutes after I asked her!

Back at the old house for one of the last times before the move Sunday, my parents snapped our picture a couple times.Another picture inside just before Jaclyn and Ryan got back from the Symphony they attended at the Tivoly Theatre (the Canadian spelling).

Smiling for pictures never even started to get old, as I couldn't stop smiling all evening. What a great Fall Break for me!!!

A picture of Carrie's ring taken on Friday early afternoon before we headed over to the VM Fields for some batting practice with 5 of us: Ryan K., Jaclyn, Carrie, Grant and me.

Carrie is looking pretty happy in this picture. I couldn't be any happier than right now. I am so blessed to have Carrie in my life and now that we are engaged we will have many more great times and memories to make over the years!!! I have been on Fall Break all week and Carrie got out for October Homeleave on Wednesday at noon. I was at Highland from Friday evening until Tuesday morning. I have been so spoiled to get to see Carrie for a week straight!! This Sunday will be the big moving day here for my parents 4 houses down the street. They have already gotten a ton of boxes moved in the last 2 days.
