A Beautiful "YES" in the City Skyline

 Before I continue sharing all the beauty from my Ireland trip, I just have to pause and share some incredibly special news from our family.  πŸ’

Our Oldest granddaughter is ENGAGED!




Connor, her sweet fiance', planned every single detail so thoughtfully...it truly could not have been more perfect.  Tori was completely surprised in the best way. Her dad, who works out of state, made the trip home, and her brother came in as well for the big event. 




Connor's mom and dad, his brother and girlfriend, along with Trista, Ty, Tucker and Emily were all waiting to celebrate this unforgettable moment. 




The proposal took place on top of a building in downtown Dallas, with the city skyline wrapping around them...just completely breathtaking.  And the sweetest part?  Tori had no idea her family was there to witness it all.  The joy, the surprise, the love...it was one of those moments you wish you could bottle up forever.  




Afterward, everyone gathered for a beautiful dinner together, soaking in the excitement and celebrating the beginning of a brand new chapter.  

And just like that....it's now planning time.  🀍🀍

As soon as they finished dinner, Tori face timed her Pops (Sam) to share the news.. I was able to join in to see all of her excitement...  Our hearts are so full, and we are beyond grateful the this season of love, family and new beginnings.  

God has answered our prayers that we have been praying since Tori was a little girl.  For a good, Christian man to come into her life and to be the one she spends the rest of her life with.  




More Ireland stories coming soon....but this joy just had to be shared first..πŸ’•

  4. That's wonderful news for Tori. She looks so happy, and she is wearing a pretty black dress and painted nails for this special day. Such a fun day for all, and smiles all around. If only we could bottle up these moments, like you said, wouldn't that be awesome? I wish them a lifetime of goodness, Shug. Such a pretty picture of Tori, and I can see You in her, Shug. : )
