Last week Carrie and I had the fun opportunity to have engagement pictures taken of us by my lovely sister, Jennie Rae. :) It was awesome! Carrie and I dressed up all fancy just like we had done for her Christmas work dinner party. We felt we both looked good enough to pull off more pictures wearing those same outfits. ;) She, of course, looked beautiful.. she was smiling a lot that day; I could tell she was excited and anxious to do the pictures. We looked at them later and picked out a bunch that we wanted Jennie to focus on.
That day was also rather special for another reason.. I'm sure some know that even though Carrie and I became engaged, we didn't do so with an actual ring. As I put it, "We were engaged in a talking sort of way." Haha. And deep down inside I knew that it wouldn't feel completely official without a ring. Anyway, like I said, that day became more than just taking pictures as I knelt down during some shots in a pretty park and asked Carrie to 'officially' marry me (WITH a ring..). :D It's funny, because even though I knew we were already engaged and what not, I was still pretty nervous. I felt better. I feel now that we can more seriously approach our relationship as a couple and soon-to-be family. I really, really enjoy doing whatever I can to make her happy..! Oh, and she said yes.
So the new year has begun. Things are going to change quite a bit. I'm starting school full time and hope to start working soon as well. I know it all means I won't be able to see Carrie and the boys very often during the next several months, but I know it'll be better in the end. That's one difficult thing about living 3 hours away from the person you want to see most. :P I guess it will be like before my mission, where normally we would only see each other once every one or two weeks. I'm sure you all can imagine the excitement and anxious feelings that are present when those days arrive. ;)
Alright! You all know by now that I enjoy writing a little too much haha.
Cya!
