Saturday afternoon we got a text message from our youngest daughter, Adrienne, telling us she was having a great time skiing in Colorado for the first time following ACL reconstruction surgery on her knee last August. Several hours later we got a text message asking if we had time for a Skype call.
We did, and shortly after the conversation began, she flashed her left hand in front of the video camera and we saw an ENGAGEMENT RING! Justin proposed at the top of the ski mountain, and she accepted. She and Justin met in Paraguay 18 months ago; he was in the Peace Corps; she was doing a microfinance internship there. Since then we met him in Colorado on our way home from Baja, they came to spend a week with us last summer, and again at Christmas. We’re crazy about Justin and think the two of them are very well suited, so we were thrilled with the news!
Their plans to wait until 2013 to get married make things easier for us, though we’d figure out a way to plan a wedding while we’re underway on the Great Loop if we needed to.
Our son Ryan has also been engaged to his long-time girlfriend Jaime, who we’re also wild about, for almost a year. We’re now eager to see which of our kids will get married first, as neither has yet set a date.
