Our Engagement

 

As many of you may know Kyle Dillard, and I got engaged on Sunday January 19, 2014. We were walking around the lake in Sterling, KS and Kyle was acting nervous. He was fiddling with something in his pocket and we had just got done with a deep talk about our relationship and the direction it was heading in. I had ventured into a conversation about the lake and how nice it looked outside. And suddenly Kyle asked me did I love him? I first thought to myself, this is strange I know he knows I love him, but then quickly responded with a yes. He then asked could he ask me another question, I said yes. When I looked into his eyes, I knew he was about to ask me to marry hm. I frantically gave him a hug, as my mind was racing all I could remember is thinking “I CANT BELIEVE THIS IS ABOUT TO HAPPEN”. I finally let go, and he gets down on one knee and ask me to marry him. I said yes after trying to choke back some tears.

The love Kyle and I share is unlike any love I have experienced. We continue to learn more about each other daily and try our best to embrace each other differences. This friend is no small task. Learning how to love each other and to support each other on our bad days, and allowing God to mold us into the people he desires for us to be is a challenge. We both have to work at it, and we do not always get it right.

We are both so excited to be in this new chapter in our lives. We couldn’t and wouldn’t be doing this without God directing us along the way. With getting engaged there is a lot of “FLASH”. FLASH to us are details about the wedding that could consume us and other things that could take our focus off of God and put it on things that do not last forever. Our relationship status might have changed, but our focus has not. God is still the reason for our engagement season! I have decided to blog periodically through our engagement to hopefully encourage others who are single, in a relationship, or engaged.
