30 Days of Thankfulness- Day 23

Day 23: I’m thankful for surprises! As much as I’ve wanted to shout it out and tell everyone we know that we’re engaged, it’s been fun to surprise people one-by-one.  Will really wanted to tell his sisters in person that we were engaged, so we purposely held off calling them until this week, as we knew we would see them over Thanksgiving.  Cari and her boyfriend Curtis found out tonight.  We decided that instead of telling them right away, we would wait and see how long it would take for them to “discover” the ring (which was hidden in plain sight- on my finger).  We sat around the kitchen table for a couple hours talking before Curtis finally asked Cari if she had forgotten to tell him something (as he pointed to his ring finger).  Cari was still oblivious, though, and it took her a couple more minutes to figure out what exactly Curtis was hinting at.  Her reaction was well worth waiting to tell her, though.  She couldn’t stop hugging us!
