for real!

In the middle of Dad's death and all that went along with that, Grace came home with an announcement.  Ben proposed and she said yes!  She's sporting quite the beautiful ring, which he had custom made for her and it's so Grace.   They are quite excited about it all!  Grace just floats around smiling all day and looking at her beautiful hand!  They are planning a winter wedding and I am trying to wrap my head around this all!  Being a new Relief Society President and planning a wedding at the same time is going to be interesting!  Here's a few pix of the future bride and her beau.

Ben waited two extra weeks to propose because the ring was being custom made but still wasn't ready.  So, he bought her this beautiful ruby promise ring to propose and she patiently waited another week until the real ring was done.  I love the promise ring as much as the engagement ring.  I really need to get a photo of the real one... but that would require her being home for a second, which does not happen very often these days... she's either working or with Ben.  Imagine that!

Congrats to Ben and Grace!  They make each other very happy!
