A Valentine's Proposal!


February IS the LUV month, after all ... so Gunnar decided to take full advantage of it
& he PROPOSED TO ABIGAIL!




They've been sweethearts for 4 years & very long distant, at that.
{She lives in OK}

Through much planning & prayer {& our blessing -- & the blessing of her dad}, he popped the question.



After breakfast with her family & his two brothers, Gunnar told Abigail that they would have morning
devotions together, just the two of them.
He read from his Bible first, then asked her to read a portion from hers ...
the Bible he bought for her a while back.

When she opened up her Bible & turned to the passage, here is what she found:



At the top, he wrote:  WILL YOU MARRY ME, along with the date 2-14-14.
The scripture passage he chose to highlight was Matthew 19:4-6.

"He answered, “Have you not read that he who created them from the beginning 
made them male and female, and said, ‘Therefore a man shall leave his father and his mother 
and hold fast to his wife, and the two shall become one flesh, so they are no longer two 
but one flesh.  What therefore God has joined together, let not man separate.”

Course, the ring was tied to the ribbon marker.

Isn't this just the perfect proposal?


 


We couldn't be happier for them.
She will make a wonderful wife to Gunnar & we are happy to welcome her to our family come fall.

Our prayer is that she will enjoy all the wedding planning festivities over the next several months
& will have the wedding of her dreams.

{Got some more excited news -- just running a bit behind in sharing it with y'all!}
