Engaged! - One Year Later
Today is April 15th. Nope not just tax day, but the day Tory I got engaged one year ago. Being with Tory, and now married, has been the greatest experience of my life!
Obviously now, there will be a lot more of these to come :) The first pic is a funny one of us. We weren't ready when the pic took. The second one was from April 22. The third one is from downtown FoW (Fort Worth) on our one-year-of-dating anniversary date. I'm definitely marrying up huh?
April 15th will no longer be remembered as Tax Day! It is now April 15th, the day I proposed to the woman I've been praying for!
I proposed to my girlfriend Tory this morning. We met at SWBTS Jan 18, 2007 and have been dating since March 20, 2007. Well as of this morning, she is no longer my girlfriend, but my fiance! Here's the video of the proposal.
Thanks to Dr. Yarnell (my systematic theology professor) for letting me have a few minutes at the end of class to have everyone's help. Thanks for Phillip for taking pics and to Daniel for videoing, and to Kyle for the ring toss.
I also wouldn't be posting this story if it weren't for my Dad and Mom, my brothers, my best friend Justin (who with his family drove all the way to Fort Worth last weekend to be with me as I bought the ring, per our tradition). I wouldn't be here without all of my friends.
Tory I love you and I can't wait to be your husband!
And if not for Jesus, in whom we find true life, we would be hopeless. I hope above all He is honored in Tory's and my life. I pray He uses us to continue to point to and lead people to Him.
Ephesians 1:18 "I pray that the eyes of your heart may be enlightened, so that you will know what is the hope of His calling."
John 12:46-47 "I have come into the world as a light, so that no one who believes in me should stay in darkness. As for the person who hears my words but does not keep them, I do not judge him. For I did not come to judge the world, but to save it."
