Announcement...
















I know that many of you who read my blog also read my sister Sara's blog as well. So, if you've already looked at her post for today you'll have read the announcement that I have:

















I'm engaged! On Saturday, September 15, Alan proposed to me on the old train bridge over the Tennessee River near downtown Florence. It was so perfect. I was NOT expecting it at all, nor did I know that he had previously asked my parents' permission to marry me earlier that week. Sneaky, sneaky!















I've posted a few pictures that we took on the bridge before the proposal. If I had known that it would be a proposal, I wouldn't have worn my "pregnant" looking shirt.







Here is a picture of the ring that Alan gave me. Ignore the non-lotioned fingers...



I think it's beautiful! The date has not been set at the moment, but we are contemplating a few dates in April/May of 2008.



I'll keep you posted...

Oh, I hope you aren't upset that I posted it before you. I saw that you had already put it on Facebook, so I thought you had abandoned blogging. Sorry!
And you look beautiful and so happy in these pictures, "pregnant shirt" and all (she's not pregnant, of course!) Love you!

Woo-hoo!! Dinah got knocked up & now she's gettin' married! Haha, just kidding - your shirt is cute & you don't look preggers.

Congratulations!! The ring is GORGEOUS! YAY!!

P.S. Am I friends with you on Facebook? I'm gonna have to research that because I don't think I am...

Yeah! I'm catching up on e-mail today after our Destin trip and I'm so glad you put a picture of the ring on your blog because I was dying to see it and I'm not sure when I'll be in Nashville at the same time as you. It is beautiful and I'm so excited and happy for you! He probably already knows this full well, but tell Alan what a lucky guy he is to get a lifetime prescription to Dinahol!

CONGRATULATIONS! Alan must be an amazing guy to capture the heart of such a beautiful Christian lady. Your "family" in Montgomery still claims you and we are very proud.

Dinah, I am so excited for you. I just found your blog through Angie's. I am terrible with all this computer stuff but just wanted to say congrats! Married life is so fun and full of great surprises. Congrats, Leslie Caudill (Neely)
