sweetest thing

Yesterday was Ezra's birthday, and we were all in for a great surprise!

He invited Nia's family (so, her sister, uncle, aunt, and two cousins) over for dinner, and he helped prepare all the food with Zoe and myself. It was so delicious, probably the best meal I've eaten in a long time. Then Ezra stood up and made an announcement. He thanked Nia's family for coming to his birthday dinner. He asked Nia to stand up, and thanked her for being a part of his life. He then asked her to marry him with the most romantic tone in his voice, and she said yes!

We were clapping and cheering, and her family was just thrilled as well. I know it's been the best news we've heard since we moved to Ruritania.

Ezra's engaged! Unbelievable!
