I am the ship that was lost on the sea,
You are the lighthouse that called "Come to me."
I am the sailor that yearned for the land,
You are the shoreline of soft golden sand.
I am the compass that points to the North,
You are the pole that was leading me forth.
I'm the first mate who could not sail alone,
You are the captain who made me your own.

Hello all! I have some very exciting news. A week ago today, on the first of May 2016, my boyfriend asked me to marry him, and I said yes!
(This is the view from the spot where he asked me to marry him. I know, right?)
(We saw whales.)
I'm so very happy, happier than I ever imagined I could be. And half the joy of being engaged is seeing the one you love look so happy, too! Marriage won't be easy (that's what they tell me, anyway), but I'd rather face those troubles with Jon by my side than anyone else in the world. God has brought us together, and I'm confident He will continue to do so if we commit ourselves to following Him. In the meantime, I'm experiencing the fun and stress of planning a wedding! Right now we're trying to pick a date that isn't too far away nor too soon and that it hopefully won't rain on and that all the relatives can make it to! We may have to settle for the lesser of two evils. But at any rate, we'll be married at the end!
Love to you all. And, at the risk of sounding patronizing, I'll give just a word of advice. That man you dream about -- the one who is good enough to LEAD you -- is 100% worth the wait. Don't settle. Relationships are hard enough when everything is in your favor. You don't want to try one where everything isn't.
To Jon: I love you.
