Our oldest son Joshua proposed to Lisa Bailey last night. Lisa had just arrived in Minneapolis for a Christmas visit. Joshua was waiting for her at our home (which we vacated as soon as we dropped off Lisa). He had some wonderful notes for her… and a song he had written just for her. As she walked into the house, there were rose petals all over the floor, along with candles. He had left notes along the way. He then sang his song for her and proposed. It turned out well.

We celebrated their engagement, along with Jared’s birthday, at Erte in Minneapolis.

Needless to say, I am an incredibly thankful man today!
