The emails keep pouring in, and the phone calls keep coming. When are you going to blog again?? I’m not trying to avoid anyone- it’s just that it’s been all I could do to get sleep lately. So, here’s somewhat of an update.
Although my co-workers and I have had a countdown going for quite a while, I think all of us were breathless when D-day arrived. But as the rest of the world state is beginning to realize, we are making history. We had the largest initial public offering for a community bank ever in South Carolina.
And then one week ago, Daniel made me swoon when he asked me to marry him. Yes, marry him. It was around 1:30am and little did I know that my best friend from college (who is going to be my Maid of Honor) had been proposed to thirty minutes earlier! These men know timing.
The memories that follow will always be sweet in my mind. I can still see the look in Daniel’s eyes as we were standing on the front porch around 3am. Whispering. Smiling. Attending the morning worship service on Sunday morning and acting as though everything was normal as pie. Trying to sing without looking at him because his smile was HUGE. Standing in the foyer with Daniel when he decided to announce it to everyone. Seeing the squeals, wiggles, and tears happen in slow motion. His mother holding me and whispering, “I guess you can have him.”
So, that’s pretty much it.
Helped open a bank and made plans to marry the most wonderful man in the world.
