How He Asked the Aftermath

I wanted to start by saying I am just overwhelmed by everyone's kind words and wishes I am surrounded by so much positivity I feel beyond blessed! So thank you everyone!!! :) 

Yesterdays post was full of plenty of its own information, pictures and excitement but only captured about an hour of our time in New Mexico. I arrived late Thursday night by myself and spent Friday with my family before Evan arrived Friday evening after work. We then headed straight to a Mexican restaurant with friends for some real New Mexican food and green chile.


Saturday morning has been covered. It was the time when I gained the most amazing finance and became the happiest girl in the world. I am still beaming and now that I am back home away from all the excitement I can finally just sit back and enjoy the thought that I get to marry my best friend. After our countless phone calls we cleaned up for Easter dinner with my dads family. My Dad, Step-mom, Sister, Evan and I sat impatiently waiting for everyone to arrive to tell them the big news. You better believe everyone was late and each passing minute made us more and more anxious. Once they arrived we didn't wait any time before making the big announcement. My dad quickly brought out the champagne for a toast, including sparkling cider for my 3 year old niece which she thought was the coolest thing in the world. We had a great time sharing and celebrating with everyone before dinner. All the festivities lasted through the evening. By this time we were honestly exhausted, so much had happened in such a short period of time but we thought we should go out for a celebratory drink.



The next morning came quick and it was time for Easter brunch with my moms family. We made sure to get there before everyone else so that I could tell my grandma, she was so cute, she cried and was absolutely thrilled. Her reaction made my heart so happy. Soon enough the rest of the family began to arrive, I cant express how much it meant to be to be able to share these movements with my family in person. Evan planned this perfectly knowing this would be the perfect time and how much this would mean to me. His thoughtfulness in including those details made it even more special. We then took the opportunity for some family pictures in the backyard. I love them
