So, I know I've been inconsistent with blogging lately. It's just been hard to find time and energy to do so, frankly! BUT I finally have something I need to announce!
Abbey-Shae is engaged to Krystian!
How exciting is that?
I've been in on the secret for months, now, and he finally popped the question on May 24th. It was so exciting because Abbey literally had no idea it was going to happen. It was at our church youth group, where all of us are leaders. Abbey had planned the night with Krys and it was going stupendously. But, Krys had the proposal up his sleeve, still. So, near the end of the night, Krystian called up Abbey-Shae to the stage and she was dumbfounded as to what was going on.
All during the week, Krys had left little clues on our church group's Facebook page about the night, words like "games," and "nouns," and "galaxies," which all actually related to what we were doing at our church group. But, if you took the first letter of each word, it actually spelt out "engaged," and so Abbey had to unscramble it. She did so, but still didn't get it, which was okay! There was a note taped to the back of the "d" of "engaged," which Krys read. It basically said something along the lines of "Abbey-Shae, you're my best friend and I promise, in front of our parents, these kids, our friends, and the other leaders, to be your support always. I want to spend the rest of my life with you." (It was longer than that, but that's just a short paraphrase.) It was so sweet, because you could see him getting emotional! And halfway through, Abbey put her hands up to her mouth, and said "what?" - as if it finally clicked, what was happening. Then, Krys got down on one knee and asked her, and Abbey just ran to him to hug him... But ended up sort of tackling him, and they both fell to the ground! Haha.
It was an amazing thing to witness, the two of them getting engaged, and I'm so happy to be able to talk about it, now that the secret's out! She asked me to be her maid of honour, and I said yes, of course! So, it's another wedding on the horizon, and I could not be more thrilled!
