How amazing it is that so much can happen in one year!
One year ago (at about 7:45pm) tonight, Brian Miller got down on one knee (in the Yankee Candle Store parking lot) :) and asked me to spend the rest of my life with him. I could not be more blessed than I am at this moment right now.
The past year has been filled with so many amazing blessings and Brian and I are so thankful to our Father in Heaven who continues to love us and bless us!
Here is the "official" story from our wedding web page about how it happened...

WHEN WE GOT ENGAGED
December 12, 2006
HOW IT HAPPENED
Brian and Karen were living / dating long distance (what else is new, seems like their whole life has been long distance!) :) Williamsburg, VA is just about half way between Suffolk and Mechanicsville, so on December 12th Karen and Brian had made plans to meet up and do some Christmas shopping together.
Karen arrived at 7:30pm and met Brian in the Yankee Candle Store parking lot. Karen was anxious to go into the store and Brian seemed to be stalling a bit. Brian told Karen he had bought a gift for her that he wanted her to keep and save for the time when they started planning their wedding (knowing that someday they would eventually be engaged). He pulled a "wedding planner" out of his truck and handed it to her. Karen was excited, thanked Brian and put it in her car, turning again to head into the store (this girl wanted to shop)!!! Brian said, "I got you a card also" and he handed her a pretty red envelope. Karen opened her car door and set the card inside and turned to see Brian's face looking very disappointed that she hadn't opened it. Brian said "I want you to open it now." So she opened the car door (again - getting a little impatient), with her back to Brian as she was using the car interior light she read the card. The front of the card said, "Together" and inside it said "Our Journey Continues" She turned around to say thank you and tell him how much she loved the card and she found Brian kneeling down on one knee with a beautiful ring in his hand.
Karen quickly gasped and said "are you kidding me"? Then Brian said a whole bunch of stuff that Karen didn't even hear because she was in shock and freaking out! She did hear him say though, "I will love you forever and I want to spend the rest of my life with you, so, will you marry me?" Karen shouted, "yes, of course" and gave him a huge hug!
That was just the beginning of their happily ever after.....
