We picked up my wedding band, finished our Christmas shopping, and went out to eat at Chipotle. It was a lovely evening!!! Anna went with us, and we had an “adventure” on the way home.

A Brief – but important – Announcement

December 2, 2007 Elizabeth

John has posted something on “our” blog, jSe. It is so exciting! You might want to head over there and check it out. But, of course you don’t have to. I will just leave you in suspense ………. :-)

“Ladies and gentlemen, your attention please:

John Smillie has asked Elizabeth Jacobsen to be his wife. She consented (quite gladly, and without hesitation!).”

I think it may be an understatement, but both of us are VERY happy! We are prayerfully considering the future that God has in store for us, and would appreciate your prayers as well.

For more details, including the story of our courtship and John’s proposal, please follow this link.

Now we (John and I) have everyday DISHES! Lots and lots of them, too.
Yesterday Mom was out shopping and ran across a super close-out on the set pictured above ……….. and bought enough for a 12 3-piece place settings, plus fruit bowls. There was only one mug, but she bought that, too. She and Dad decided to make them into a pre-wedding (and, in this case, pre-engagement) gift.
Isn’t God great?!!!!!
My parents are also very kind……. :-)

I have been packing the dishes into boxes today, and discovered that they are heavy. Very heavy. The box of six plates and four bowls weighs somewhere over 25 pounds (now I am glad I looked for small boxes!). Maybe there is a positive correlation between the weight and quality of dishes? :-)
