A Page Is Turned

If you haven't heard the buzz, then this ones for you. Nathan and I are engaged! It all went down on Sunday, September 24, at the Withrow Springs State Park overlook. We settled on the overlook for lunch and to read the Word and pray. Then, the very romantic Nathan, asked me to dance and we did. It was so amazing. Afterward, we stood looking out at all God's creation and simply enjoying it. Then, Nathan asked me to close my eyes because he had a gift. Remember, even now I am completely clueless to what was about to happen. Finally, after a few seconds, he told me to open my eyes and turn around. And there was Nathan, down on one knee, with a ring box! He simply said to me, "Nicole Marie Rhodes, will you marry me?" I freaked! Half laughing, half crying, I asked, "What?! Are you for real? Yes!" and then leapt into Nathan's arms. Even now, I can't express the joy that I felt in that moment! It was absolutely awesome! Thanks to all who have been so incredibly supportive of Nathan and I and most importantly, thank you for your prayers. Keep 'em coming! We love all of you!
