A few weeks ago Jace came into the living room while everyone was home and asked if we could keep a big secret.... and we all agreed... s0 he told us that he was buying a ring and was going to ask her to marry him... oh and by the way, remember it's a secret! Now, that is just a down right dirty trick to pull on this family because secrets are not our strong trait. Even Kami and Kalli knew and did not spill the beans when Cait took them all to the movie. At first it seemed the plan was to ask her at Christmas time... but once the ring was in hand, he was like a little kid on Christmas eve... he couldn't stand it. He held out for days before he finally just said he couldn't stand it any longer and was going. So off he took her to Salt Lake, and on Temple Square he asked her to be his wife! After almost passing out from excitement she told him YES! Caitlyn is such a gift to our family. She has stood beside Jace in some very trying times and her sweet spirit just shines through. Thayne and I couldn't be more pleased and excited for them. She loves Jace. It's apparent in everything she says and does. She loves him the way I hoped he would be loved and she will be a most amazing addition to our family. Thayne thought he wouldn't let himself get attached to her until he knew that she was going to really be part of our family... he gave up that act long ago as he feels like she is one of ours already! We are so blessed!!! No news on when the wedding will be as it truly was a surprise and they have been on the phone since he asked her telling everybody and anybody that will listen! After the new wears off there will be time to talk about all of that! She called me and when I answered she yelled, "HELLO MOTHER IN LAW!" and you could just hear the joy in her voice! She is such a special girl, truly there are not a lot of them out there like she is and I am overjoyed that we get to have her in our family! What a great way to start out this month.... what a great way to end another year of trials... we are truly blessed!!! Welcome to the family Cait, though it feelsl ike you have always been a part of it anyway!!! Love you!!!
A wise man once said, "In all living, have much fun and laughter. Life is to be enjoyed, not just endured." We have weathered storms that tried to break us, but through it all, we have always tried to find the joy in our journey. Watching our family grow has given us more joy than we ever thought possible. There is joy in the journey, even in the middle of the storms!
I never knew how much love a heart could hold, until they called me mom
