the horkeys.: Who doesn't love LOVE?

First of all, CONGRATS to our precious friends Stephanie and Stuart. They got engaged tonight and I feel SO blessed we were able to be a part of it. They have become such great friends and I love being part of the memory. Everything went off perfect and was a surprise (which is almost crazy because all girls somewhat "know") but she was so surprised!! The plan went as follows..

Stuart told her he had something great happen at work today that called for a celebration. He took her to one of the most nice restaurants in Oklahoma City and they had a nice dinner. While they were at dinner, the little elves (Trey and I) went over and set everything up..some funny things happened in that process.

1) Anybody who knows my personality knows I was FREAKING OUT about it going perfectly. I was worried we were going to get caught, something was going to fall, they would see us drive off or we would have to hide in the bushes..Trey was wishing I wasnt a little helper at that point....
2) Stuart sent a joke text message that he was five minutes out and Trey and I scrambled out the house, almost set off the alarm, went out the wrong door...
3) Whole foods ran out of flowers so I sweet talked the Customer Service desk for their arrangement before we went over for champagne...

He just bought a house a few weeks ago and I think its so special he wanted to come back and do it there! That will be their first home together and what memories to have gotten engaged in that same house! They got to the house and he blindfolded her...took her through the house to this:

Right after we came over for champagne and have a few girl screams!!! She was so excited it made me tear up. Don't we all love love?! I think I love love more now that I am married, and I know I will more as time goes on. Marriage suddenly becomes a new form of love and engagements are all the more special to me now. You are a new family and this is your buddy for life. Youre in it forever through thick and thin.
