Happy to be... Engaged!

Reasons I'm Way in Love with Jake
1. He's the hunter-gatherer type. We'll never go hungry! He has his bow hanging for decoration at his house, for goodness's sake. My mom's warning when she found out we were dating seriously: "If you marry him, you're going to have to eat deer meat!!!"
2. Despite his exceeding manliness, he is smart enough to make the women in his life happy by showing his "softer" (cough cough, artsy-craftsy!) side at times.
3. That smile :)
4. He has always loved me.
5. We love to dream about the future together.
6. He picked out a ridiculously gorgeous engagement ring!
7. He makes me feel so beautiful... and brings out the best in me!
8. His family!
9. He loves spending time with my family, and they love him.
10. He wears hard-core sunglasses, and always has :) Now, he wears them on the back of his head more than on the front. Go figure on that one!
11. Every day, he makes me fall in love with him all over again.

12. We just fit!
*To be continued... Forever!

  2. Ya he's always done the long black socks with tennis and shorts. Love it. He sees nothing wrong with it, so neither do I :)
    Love you, Pappy. It's the best that we all fit as a family so happily.

  5. I LOVE this girl more than anything. She is the best. I just found this and am so surprised at everything Maren does for me. Oh by the way I invented a new way to instruct Maren how to shoot a gun, but I think she already knew how too...... I just like to hold her like that.
