SURPRISE!!

I’M ENGAGED!!!! On New Year’s Eve I asked Anna Marie Vold to marry me, and SHE SAID YES!! The short version of the story is that we went home to visit her family in Iowa over the New Year’s weekend. I took her up to a famous observation tower called Pilot Knob, where I gave her a wrapped photo book illustrating our story. On each page I wrote a poem describing some of our favorite memories. After I read the last page (which was a picture of Pilot Knob), I got down on a knee and proposed. Oh....and SHE SAID YES J!!!

Anna is an amazing, beautiful woman of God with a heart to serve and whose life challenges and inspires me to be the man of God I desire to be. Right now we are aiming for a wedding in early June and hope to live in Minneapolis afterwards. Please pray for us that God would remain our greatest JOY and that He would enable us to love each other as He has loved us. (1 John 4:11-­‐‑12)
