Lance and I are engaged!!!

Lance proposed to me on Friday, May 7th, 2010. It was a complete surprise! When I came home after work on Friday, Lance was waiting on one knee with my favorite song playing in the background (Whatever it is by the Zac Brown Band). This will be our "first dance" song at our wedding reception. I won this disagreement!! :)
