SHE'S ENGAGED, JUNE 2, 2018

Wow, I've been waiting for this moment for the past 28 years!  Wondering what it would really feel like when your daughter called to tell you she was engaged.  There are no words.  We knew it was coming, because Cam had contacted us to ask our permission and blessing.  The wait from Wednesday to Saturday was brutal.  I kept imagining how he would do it.  Would he get down on one knee?  Would he propose during dinner or surprise her somewhere along their route while sightseeing in Santorini, Greece?  What time would it be here in North Carolina when he proposed in Greece?  It was downright brutal and exciting all at the same time.  The number of emotions was overwhelming.  I went from pure excitement, with tears running down my face while I jumped up and down, to fear something would interfere with the proposal, to crying again because I was so excited for her.  It was a roller coaster!  I never imagined my emotions would be all over the place, but they were.  It's truly hard to put into words how I felt.  One thing I know for certain is that we could never have asked for a more perfect man for our daughter.  He is hardworking, kind, caring, adores her, and let's face it, put's up with her emotions/personality. Not to mention that his family is above and beyond amazing to her and to us.  It's the perfect union of two families that get along so well.  He is everything you imagined your daughter marrying.  For that, we are so incredibly blessed!  So today, June 2, 2018 is an extremely happy day in our house.  Today we begin the journey of planning our very first wedding and working through any hurdles that comes our way.  It's going to be exciting!!
