Exciting News!

Fatty & Ashley are officially engaged! He proposed yesterday morning before they went away for the weekend to San Antonio. The best part is she was totally taken off guard. Even that morning Kyle had lied to get her out of the house to run errands. When she came back she got mad at him because she had stuff in her hands and he wouldn't open the front door for her. Ha! As soon as she got in the house, saw the flowers she dropped it all anyway and went looking for Kyle who was out in the backyard waiting. :)

A few months ago, maybe August, I helped Kyle pick out a ring over the internet. We talked for a few hours about it and later that weekend when he was at the store he called me again to talk about buying it. Originally he wasn't looking to buy one but a few things fell into place and it just made sense. When I went down over the summer we went and got it, Ash was out of town at the time. We, mostly Kyle, had her totally convinced that he did not have the money with the down economy, Hurricane Ike and other stuff. We really laid it on the weekend I was there. Kyle had even brought the ring home to show mom and dad and took it to her parents the weekend they went to the Notre Dame game. She had no idea.

I'm happy Kyle has found someone he can click so well with. Ashley is great and I get along really well with her. She makes Fatty happy and they fit so it's a great thing. Poor Ashley, now she's stuck forever. :)
