Anna is engaged.
I know this will come as a big surprise to many of you, as it was certainly a surprise for us. But honestly, it was seeming pretty inevitable. They have been dating now for over 3-1/2 years now. His name is Ethan, and I must say that he is handsome, chivalrous, kind, and highly intelligent, although he does still live at home with his mother. He is also an older man, almost 7 months her senior. They met when Anna was 4 months old and he was almost 1-year old. They started off as friends, which is certainly a great way to begin a relationship. This morning Ethan spoke to his mother on the way to school. He told her he was going to marry Anna and that she would be his wife. Hannah (his Mom) told him that they were too young for marriage, but that Anna could be his girlfriend. Ethan was insistent that his wish was to make Anna his wife. When they arrived at preschool, I had already dropped Anna off, so sadly I missed the proposal. While Hannah signed him in, Ethan went up to Anna and asked her to marry him. He then ran up to his mother and excitedly told her, "She said 'Yes'!" We're encouraging the kids to wait, to at least finish college. In the meantime, I'm posting some pictures of the two of them taken last Sunday at Chuck-E-Cheese at a mutual friend's 5th birthday party.
Don't they make a cute couple?
