Congratulations Rachel & Josh

Well...it had to happen someday.  My little niece, Rachel, is all grown up and a sophomore in college.  And, as she giddily informed me today, an engaged woman.  How did this happen?  Just yesterday she was at my house and going "Cake up, Nana!" when she wanted me to get up and play with her.  Where did this mature woman come from?  More importantly, where did the time go?

Wait until you hear how Josh proposed...He covertly called all her closest friends, both parents, and both grandparents and had them come to Arkadelphia, AK (where they attend college).  They were to dress all in black.  So he takes Rachel out on their 1year dating anniversary and then takes her to the Chapel on campus.  He has roses waiting for her.  He takes her on bended knee and asks her to pray with him.  Then Josh proposed to Rachel in Sign Language.  Rachel was crying so hard she couldn't do the simplest sign "Yes" so he asked her to say it out loud.  So she said "Yes!"  That is when the lights come up and everybody was up in the balcony of the Chapel witnessing the whole thing.  How romantic is that?
