Things Change Inside ......

So I have noticed a change in me and in Alicja since Sundays proposal. It seems as though everything is new and we feel closer..obviously right? So I am sitting at work today (not busy by the way) and I felt this proud and peaceful feeling come over me. I mean, things have changed so much in the past five years and to be where I am right now feels great, to love again, to be in love, God is faithful in his word in not allowing my heart to feel the same pain I felt in the past. I hope people can make it to our wedding in December.

An Engagement

So many things have happened since moving to Minneapolis but this was definitely a shock to even me. So it was a warm day yesterday and the sun was shining bright and Alicja and I were on our drive to Stillwater, MN to pick up a ring we bought the weekend prior. So we arrive in Stillwater and settle down in a coffee shop for the morning to do homework and read until the Antique store opens at 11. You see the ring we bought was made in 1860 and has a long history of beauty, I am sure an anointing from the Lord as well so it had to be resized a little. So we pick up the ring and walk to our favorite little diner down the street to eat lunch. We sit and enjoy a wonderful lunch as well as an uplifting conversation to one another, that involved much talk of life together and how much joy we find in each other. So after our lunch we took a drive into Wisconsin where we traveled to Willow River State Park and walked a mile to the beautiful waterfalls. After spending some time in God's presence by the waterfalls we walked up a very long set of stairs to a platform that overlooked the river as well as a thousands of acres of trees and forest. Standing on the edge of this platform I knelt down before my beautiful bride to be and asked her to spend her life being loved by a man who adores her....me. She said YES!!! and we stood on that platform for about 45 minuets embracing each other and enjoying the treasure we both feel God just gave us.....each other.

This is just the beginning of a love story that has many more pages to add......

P.S I love Alicja
