After talking, smiling and gazing at each other for a while longer Jeremy and Rachel went out for a romantic dinner.

There was a beautiful bouquet of flowers and a corsage waiting at the happy couple’s table.

They took a moment to glance at the lovely waterfront view (so they could say they saw it) and then spent the rest of the time enjoying the view of each other!

After attending prayer meeting and surprising everyone there with the news, Jeremy and Rachel went to her house to begin making phone calls!

After a few hours they had to stop for two reasons. First, it was so late they were waking people up and second, their ears hurt from all the happy screaming on the other end of the line.

The deliriously happy couple is starting their wedding plans!!! A date will be announced soon. Thank you for your continued prayers!

He slipped it on her finger and they took more pictures.

Jeremy pulled a small box out of his pocket and revealed the gorgeous diamond nestled inside.

Then he got down on his knees in front of Rachel and asked her to marry him!!!

She said in a quavery voice, “Yes I will”!

Then they shared a sweet hug.

As they sat there in the peaceful woods with sunlight filtering through the trees, Jeremy began to share his heart. (Rachel’s heart began pounding!)
