Yes, I am one of the lucky ones!

So, if you haven't heard, I'm getting married! Yep. Thats right. Hitched, tying the knot, taking the plunge, jumping the broom etc etc :-)

James Proposed to me on January 4th at around 8pm. I, of course, said yes. Then, to my dismay, he was totally scared to tell his family since we haven't been dating too long. I, of course, told my mom that very next day ;-) And SURPRISE! She kept it between her, my dad, and my sister in law. That was amazing in itself!! ;-) So, today, January 13th, 2008 James just kinda blurted it out to his mom in his livingroom, surprising me at the same time. Least to say, his mom, dad and his one brother that was there were thrilled.
We then headed to his grandmothers house to have a b-day party for a few of his Kin where the group of his family there got to hear the announcement. Everyone was so happy, and even started offering their services for the wedding planning (THOSE people I shall remember!) ;-) James and I then decided to leave and have quiet time by the lake on the four wheeler as we shot bottle rockets into the water like teenagers ;-) Hense, this picture is from that very moment! :-)
And so, I am happy to announce that on August 2nd, 2008 I shall be known as Mrs. Kristen Richardson. :-)
The ring is still being chosen since I do not want a diamond. We are currently looking at aquamarine rings (which are BEAUTIFUL!) and will post pics of it once I decide which on I love :-)

Anyway! Love love.
