Jenny + Scott + Baby McB: Mommy and Daddy's Proposal Anniversary!

October 29. A year ago, from today--the most handsome man in the whole land came riding down in a 737 to surprise me, his fair maiden. I was already in North Carolina for a mission trip that I was leading. We had teamed up with the newly formed church planting team, consisting of 2 of my best friends. We had a great week together--connecting with my best friends and telling new friends about Jesus. On the Saturday of our trip, Amanda and Andria took me out to show me their "favorite spot," in North Carolina. As we meandered through the forest, we came to an opening--one that had been fully decorated with purple streamers and signs made just for me...and in the middle...my prince Charming, Scott McBrayer himself. As I ran to him, my heart fluttered in excitement, knowing this meant only one thing: him and me, for the rest of our lives. I watched through raining tears as my man kneeled down in majestic humility and proclaimed his love for me. My eyes soaked in every detail they could get their hands on as he asked me the one question I had been waiting to hear for 26 years, "Jenny, will you marry me?" With a "Yes!" that resounded throughout the whole forest, I found myself collapsing in his arms and embracing the warmth; the home, my heart had been searching for. And for the first time, we shared our first kiss. I spent the next 45 minutes laughing, crying and shrieking in excitement.

Three months later we were married. Six months after that, we were pregnant. And another 3 months later, we had returned to that same spot, where everything had first started. We laughed at the roller coaster of events that had all happened within 12 months. Who would have thought! Who would have thought that we would be back here, just a year later--being so blissfully happy, and carrying our first child! Next year, baby, we'll show you all around! :)
