The Engagement




Tonight Jake and Megan got engaged. We've been busting at the seams to keep it a secret. Last Thursday night, Jake took Megan's parents and Rick and I out to dinner to ask us for our blessing. We were all happy to give it. Then on Tuesday, Jake, Rick and Ken (Megan's dad) went ring shopping together. The ring is beautiful (the picture doesn't do it justice).

No date is set. Though Jake and Megan both graduated from WSU last May, Megan still has 3 years in the Physical Therapy program at the University of Washington. Jake is still doing his student teaching, then he'll need to find a teaching job. We already felt like Megan was a part of our family (she and Jake have been dating for 3 years). Now this confirms it. We're happy to have the rest of her family join our gang as well.

Megan and her mom have invited me to join them when they go out wedding shopping...I can't wait. I know it won't be for a while, but it gives me one more reason to keep fighting hard.

Love is all you need.

Dreaming Big,
Dor
