WEDDING BELLS!!!!








Well it's official!!  Mark came over the day after Thanksgiving and asked Elindsey to marry her.  He pulled it off without a hitch!!  Which is quite a feat with Elindsey involve.  She usually has everything figured out!  She thought she did, he was going to propose to her at Christmas according to her calculations, but she was in for a surprise!!  They went out to a nice restaurant by the river in downtown Boise and then went for a walk along the river.  Mark commented on what a beautiful Autumn day it was and she said "you should ask me to marry you!"  He picked up a twig and tried to make it into a ring but it didn't quite work.  They then walked to a footbridge where he told her that he wanted to read her a poem he wrote.  She was still oblivious because he always writes her poems until the end when he got down of a knee and pulled out the ring!!  She was so excited she kept saying oh my gosh, I can't believe it!  Then he finally said "well will you?"  And of course, she said  "YES!!!!!" When she got home after seeing the fam, she called ashley and kenzie and told them both at the same time.  I caught a cute pic of her telling them the news!  Then they both got on the phone and started calling and texting the news across the country!!







The next day, CIVIL WAR DAY as you can see by the attire, we went down to the river where Mark proposed to re-enact it for the Greenes.  The day before was a beautiful sunny day, but at least it wasn't raining for the photo shoot!!  We are all very excited  for them and are looking forward to adding a new member of the family.  He was the least painful!!!  They are looking at a September 2009 wedding.  We will be keeping you posted!!!
