Rachel and Aaron engaged 8/3/07

It's official, with a ring and everything! Aaron flew in today, Rob picked him up at the airport and brought him to our house. Rachel didn't know. They were talking on the phone as she drove home. As she walked in the door, he said "well I haven't asked you in a while" on the phone. Then said, to her in person, "Will you marry me?"

He was sitting around the corner and she hadn't seen him. But then she realized he was actually there and stumbled back against the wall, she was so excited! He had a bouquet of white roses (provided by me and symbolizing eternity) for her. She was so glad to see him. They hugged and kissed, and of course she cried. Thank goodness she said yes - it would have been awfully awkward otherwise :)

Aug 1 2007

August already! Matthew has a field trip with school to the San Francisco zoo. He kept telling me to put long pants on him, but I made him wear shorts. I get to school and everybody's wearing long pants. Oops! I guess they told them to at school. Somehow that didn't make it to me. Oh well, he's got a sweatshirt, he should be fine. Heaven knows, he's got plenty of energy to burn and keep warm with :)
