Well, it happened. My baby sister is engaged! I can't wait to have Aaron added to the family- he really pretty much has already been considered part of the family for a long time. We all love him, but I can't wait for it to be official! And we couldn't be happier for Auntie Jill.
So, you want to hear the story?
Some of you may know, Aaron is on the Men's Basketball coaching staff at OU. He just started there a few weeks ago. They have biographies of the coaching staff posted on their website. Well, Aaron had them temporarily add a paragraph at the end that was about Jill and how he feels about her. He said to Jill, "They got my bio up..." So of course Jill wanted to see it. When she finished reading it, she turned to him, asked if it was real, he kneeled down and popped the question. Of course she said yes, and again asked him if the bio was real!
Then, Aaron surprised her again by taking her to his parents house where they with my parents were awaiting their arrival. We were supposed to be there waiting, too, but we were late. Like usual. Thanks to Brian's lovely job (at least he sold a car this time). So, they had a cookout for everyone, we all visited, had a good time, the kids got to see the the goats and the pony Butter, and we toasted to Jill and Aaron. It was a lovely evening. Thanks to Aaron's folks for having us over!
That night we stayed with Jill at her Boss' house in New Albany. Jill is a nanny to this wonderful family who had her house and dog sitting for the holiday weekend. They told her to go ahead and have some people over while she was there. They are so kind to have allowed Jill to have a get-together and allow us to stay over. Thanks Jamie and Kristin! So of course, Jill didn't realize it ahead of time, but that turned out to be an engagement party. Everyone had a blast. Isaac didn't want to leave- he really enjoyed the pool and Cooper's play room (I hope we got everything back where it belonged!).
