WE'RE ENGAGED!!

Ok, ok, I know that this news is almost a year old at this point, but we had an engagement party to celebrate!
Let me start by giving a HUGE thank you to my soon-to-be in-laws, Ann and Glenn. They are the best people, ever, and I love them a lot! No one could ask for a sweeter mother-in-law, no matter what those horrible stereotypes are!
Ann had been wanting to have a party but the school year was too busy, for all of us. So, we had it last Saturday!
Matt and I helped set up and even bought a big tent for the yard, which we think will come in handy in our own yard at some point. Anyway, we played some volleyball with Brewster, my Dad and Lydia, who came over early. Then we got all dolled up in our kilts for a little sneak peak of the wedding.
The party was full of entertainment! We had quoits, bean bags, tons of food, beer, and plenty of great companionship! The most entertaining of all might have been the scale from the bathroom. (Yes, there might have been some testosterone involved with that one!) The fire pit was a huge success too, and we stayed up late to open gifts, too! What more could we ask for?
We got wonderful recipes and I have to say that it was just another awesome reason to spend time with family and friends before the wedding!! Thanks to everyone for coming, you all should have received your thank you notes by now, and extra thanks to Ann for making it so special! I love my new necklace! Love you!

Ok, ok, I know the picture isn't from the engagement party, but it's a funny one, and all of us were at the party! Actually, my party pictures were a little boring, and I'm waiting to get back the ones that Ann took as people were coming in.
Addendum - I am adding a few pictures that I took, since I haven't seen Ann's and wanted to get something online.
