Mambi :: About The News!!!

So for those of you who haven't heard yet; Yesterday Andrew took me to the park and asked for my hand in marriage during a photo shoot we were doing with our friend!!

Here's the Mambi journal page I made:

Here's one of the pictures from after he popped the question!:

The photography is our friend Terry Gullickson. She did a fantastic job!
More photos were shot by her and her friend Karlos, but we haven't gotten them yet. Soon!

But for now we are just celebrating our engagement!

It's very awesome and well made. Got it for $10! So it put it in my Midori. :)
