Josiah and Erin

Here are the pictures and story of the engagement of Josiah and Erin, from Hannah and my point of view.
Josiah called and asked to talk to me on the 15th and asked if I would help him with getting things and helping decorate for the big event of him asking Erin to marry him. I had guessed something was going on before because of some things but was waiting to hear from Josiah to see if what I thought was going on was what was really going on. I was not to say anything to anyone about what was going on. (Mom and Dad knew what was happening.) Josiah also asked Hannah to help take pictures that night, so she knew some of what was going on and helped me get some of the decorating supplies.
Josiah did not tell Erin that he was coming home for the weekend. It was a surprise! Erin's parents knew and so did her cousin, Andrea, who shares a apartment with Erin. Josiah had asked Andrea to video tape the whole thing from when he came to the apartment to when he asked her to marry him.
Josiah had planned to do a "treasure (letter) hunt" to the spot where he proposed to her. He had 9 letters that he gave her or we hidden in the woods for him while he went to get Erin and make their way to the spot.
I am not sure about all the details of what happened when Josiah got to the apartment, but Erin was so surprised that she wouldn't open the door.
Meanwhile, Brennan B., Hannah, and I were out in the woods getting the finishing touches put on the arbor and the heart and cross Josiah had made out of electrical wire that we had hooked to the back of the arbor. Josiah and I had decorated the arbor and heart and cross the night before and we had picked up 3 dozen pink roses that morning to go on the heart. ( We were freezing! We went back to Brennan's truck to keep warm while we waited for Josiah, Erin and Andrea to arrive.) Josiah had asked Brennan to pull them in a sled with his four-wheeler to the spot in the woods. So Brennan had to meet them at the road and Hannah and I went back to the spot to wait for them to get there. When everyone got to the arbor Josiah gave Erin the last letter, which she had to read out loud. When Erin got to the end of the letter Josiah got on his knee and asked her to marry him, and Erin said, "YES!" Then Josiah gave Erin the ring, (after hugging for a while).

I am super tired right now. But I thought I should write some about why I am. I will have to write more later about all the details!

My "little" brother, Josiah, proposed to his girlfriend, Erin, this afternoon. And She said, "Yes!"

It is hard to believe that he is going to get married! Not really because I thought that she might be the one since the first time I met her. ( Which was a few weeks before I went to Minnesota for almost 4 months)
I will try to write more on a later post.

A challanging quote

"A woman's heart should be so close to God

that a man must seek God to finds hers."
