Some good news and some bad news

Hi Family.

Well, the good news first...because the bad news wouldn't make sense otherwise.

Stuart (the young man I brought to the Christmas party) and I are getting married! It's officially official! :D He asked me on Friday. It was sosupercute! Yes, one word. That's how cute. He took me to Agua Caliente park to the bench by the lake at sunset and read me a book he had made. It documented how we met and eventually came to be dating and fall in love. Then he got to a page that said, "But something was missing........" Then he got down on one knee and asked me to marry him! :D Obviously I said yes, and he turned the page and it said, "So on Jan 30th 2009 Stuart asked Meg to be his wife for all eternity!" I loved it. Other notes....

Stuart is the very first person I met when we moved down here. He and his father helped my family unload our moving van and he helped me carry my mattress in. We went to church and high school together and were friends but never dated. Both graduated from Cienega High in May of 2005. He went on to serve full time in the Zurich, Switzerland mission. He got back spring of 2008. He is half Peruvian; his mother immigrated and makes this delightful Peruvian potato dish. The ring is white gold, center stone is a princess cut with side stones being round, tension setting, limited edition, absolutely stunning.

We have decided to be sealed for time and all eternity in the Salt Lake temple on June 12, 2009. (***This is a change from the previous post! New date is the 12th of June.***) Here's where the bad news comes in. While we have the largest room available there is still not enough room for both Stuart and I to invite all our family to be there. Unfortunately we will have to resort to drawing names out of a hat. We hope that there will be no hurt feelings and invite everyone to come to the ring ceremony and reception held later that day. Invitations and announcements will be forthcoming. We wish we could have everyone there and love you all. We look forward to seeing you all in June.

Love,
Meg
