The BIGGEST news of the season...Lawrence and Ann got engaged! We are so excited. Everyone in the family just adores her and she does a great job of taking care of Lawrence. Right now they are debating dates for the wedding since they would like to have the wedding at the chapel on the campus of The Citadel. Can you believe it?? My little brother getting married...and I couldn't be happier.
Let me guess what you all want to know...How did he pop the question?
Well, I'll try to give the shortened version. He came home from work after having gone to the $1 store to get an ornament that he could open and put the ring in. When he got home he gave Ann the ornament to hang on the tree and said it was from "the roofers." By the way, Lawrence is a project manager for a roofing company. After they got ready to head out for 2 parties that night, Lawrence asked Ann to take the ornament off the tree and throw away the snow that was inside the ornament. She did as asked, although not understanding why this was all of a sudden very important to Lawrence. Why couldn't that be done after the party? Once the snow was out she saw a note and pulled it out. "Will you marry me?" was on the note and Lawrence was on his knee. She said yes and the celebrating began. Below are some pictures I have of them over the past year.
