Christmas Eve 2008


Well, I have alot to fill in from my last post till now, but I'll only go over the demanding details ;)!


I flew out of Calgary on Monday, Dec 22nd and arrived in Springfield, Missouri late that evening. Wednesday afternoon everyone, which included Joey's parents-Alvy and Norah, Joey's brother and sister in law-Ben and Lauren and their two children-Sariya and lil Josh, and Joey's sister- Sarah, went to Jordan Valley Ice Park to ice skate. We skated around a few times and then Joey got off the ice. I waited for him but he continued to stand and talk with his dad, so I miss impatient just turned around and decided to continue skating without him.
Moments later he was behind me.



Joey: "I'm so sorry everyone is so stressed."
Me: "Its okay."

Joey: "My parents are really stressed, I'm sorry."

Me: "Joey, its okay, I understand, It's Christmas, don't worry."

Joey: "Well they are stressed for a good reason."

Me: Sarcasticly "Oh really and why is that?"

Joey: Grabbed my arm and spun me around " Cause I wanna ask you to marry me!"
Me: "WHAT???!!!???!!!"
Joey: Hands me the below locket

Me: "Oh my word, are you serious Jo?!"

Joey: with tears forming in his eyes, flips the locket over "Will you Marry Me?!"

I began to cry and then laughed and then just hugged him and cried/laughed some more.

Joey: "Well.........."

Me: "Yes, Yes!"

Everyone was watching from the side, so when we skated over the family said, "Welcome to the family Angel!" And I just cried! =)

FOR YOU! Yeah!! I would love to write a book on how much I appreciate you and Joey both, but I do not think it would all fit in just one book nor any amount of writing I could ever do. You both are anointed of God and I know that God will have his hand of anointing and protection upon your family. I am privileged to call you my best friends and I can not wait to see what God has in store for your family! Congrats to the both of you, I love you both!
