Good News!

We spent all day today calling, texting and emailing our friends and family, letting them know our good news. I thought it was funny that when I called some people, they thought something was wrong and weren't expecting the news. Then, other people knew even before we said anything. It was fun hearing and reading everyone's reactions.

Tonight, we went to the Chart House with my parents and Billy's parents. It was supposed to be a celebration of Mrs. Mertz's retirement, but it turned into an engagement celebration. Our waiter even gave us a menu from the night with a Congratulations message written at the top for us. It's something we'll definitely keep for a scrapbook. This was the first time Billy's parents got to see the ring, they were very impressed to see what Billy designed for me! It was a wonderful evening and a big thank you to my parents and the Mertz's for all the support!

The news was announced on facebook tonight as well and we are very thankful for everyone's kind words and well wishes! It means so much to us!
