I'm ENGAGED!

Last Friday night (July 25th) Max came to my house about an hour before bible study started. He came in with a dozen red roses. I looked over at my coffee table and there was a box. It was a big box with build a bear written on it. I thought "oh how very fun, Max made me a teddy bear". He told me he made a bear for me that was named Max and dressed like him to remind me of him. When I pulled him out he had a little sticker on his right paw that said press here. I did and heard, "Laura I love you very much, Will you marry me?" I threw my arms around his neck and gave him a big kiss and said YES!(Max's neck, not the bear's. Hehe) Then he told me to look in the bear's pocket. I pulled out a ribbon that had my ring attached to it. I had him put it on and he got on one knee and slid it on my finger. I LOVED it! We tried to call our families which we couldn't get a hold of right away, took a few pictures, and then our friends started arriving for bible study. I loved it because I was able to share my joy with my friends. :)
The whole weekend was perfect. On sabbath we went out to a waterfall and took pictures. The waterfall was so much fun because it had grassy moss all over it so you could climb without feeling like you are going to slip in. Later that night we meet friends at at coffee shop and played games. On Sunday we went to Holiday World in Santa Clause Indiana.(water park & amusement park) It was so much fun! Then that night my parents came for a visit. What a perfect weekend.
