They're Engaged!


R.H. and I were so happy to get a phone call recently
announcing that Zack had proposed to Courtney.

And even happier to know that she said yes!


Guess what Courtney's dream car was?

Yes, an El Camino and this 1977 beauty was
waiting for her in the driveway one day.

Inside was a beautiful ring hanging from the rearview mirror.

R.H. and I are thrilled that Courtney is joining our family,
and I'll let you in on a little secret--
the first time Zack brought Courtney home to meet us
I started praying for this day to come.


As you can see, Zack is very happy.

And you must also meet Courtney's sweet baby--


True is a gentle greyhound that Courtney
adopted through a rescue group.

Welcome to the family,
Courtney and True!

And congratulations, Zack!

  1. I saw your blog on someone else's sidebar, and the "They're Engaged" snippet caused me to pop by. Congratulations to you on your son's engagement. What a joy-filled occasion.

    My daughter just got married last october, so this time last year, I was knee-deep in wedding planning. What a blessed time. I hope you enjoy your wedding planning.

    Blessings,
    Patti @ Embracing Home

  2. Why thank you, Patti, and thank you for visiting. October must have been a lovely time for your daughter's wedding--it is our wedding anniversary month too.

    As to wedding planning, we live in FL and the wedding will be in TN. I suspect that our main job will just be to come and enjoy it all. If I know Courtney, she will have every detail lovingly planned, along with her mother's help! I do look forward to taking lots of pictures to share here!
