Feeling November and soon will come December!

November has started out for us with lots of new things to be excited about! Our year has been interesting as always, but the one exciting piece of news I would like to share to everyone is I GOT MY FINGER SIZED LAST WEEK!!! Which only means that big moment for Mark and I may not be far away.

Since we've lived together now over four years it has been the experience I believe most should think about prior to marriage. We know not everyone agrees with this, but this was the appropriate step for us to ensure our future. Not only are we proud to say we've been together and gotten through our early 20's... still together makes us even more excited to our future big day.

To tell you ahead of time we do plan on having a wedding late next Summer. When the time comes we will be sending save the dates, but of course had to share this wonderful news as things are in the works! It will be in Stillwater and we would like to get married at my church with the reception being at my families home.

We look forward to incorporating each other's family traditions from our diverse backgrounds and will be including all family in this! As most of you would know or maybe don't I was adopted from Neiva, Colombia in South America when I was six months old. I have studied and participated in numerous latin traditions since I can remember. Mark is too of course hispanic if you didn't know, his Grandmother was from Mexico hence why he has that lovely olive tone equaling a 1/4 Mexican:) so we will be incorporating each latin country's traditions. Also we will celebrate other parts of our family that is from Germany and other countrys in Europe. So be ready to see lots of great toasts, dancing, and fabulous food!

We get asked about our future day ALL THE TIME and so I just had to send this out to keep everyone on there toes...not so much just mine anymore :)

We love you all and thank you for your support. Especially our parents they know it all and have seen our relationship grow, so we're so excited to make them proud :)

Luv & Hugs!

Mark & Sara
