I was one of the fortunate people who knew right when JJ bought the ring. Of course he swore me to secrecy, which I was more than happy to do! Bailey could obviously tell this story much better, but long story short, my brother went to visit her last night since he works in Waterloo and she lives in Iowa City while she finishes grad school. In the 5 and a half years of dating the man had not bought her a single flower. Seriously, JJ? I mean I love ya, but for goodness sake, splurge on some flowers occasionally! ; ) Bailey, of course, was so blown away by the unexpected flowers that she really about died when he pulled out that gorgeous ring! She was also shocked at the number of people who already knew the news, including some of our family, her family, as well as friends of the family. Obviously, she said yes, or in JJ's words, "Yep, turns out she wants to marry me too," per the text message I received at about 10:30 last night. He also informed me that after they got engaged he was going to see if she'd give him a haircut since he was giving up his bachelorhood. That brother of mine is quite the charmer! ; )
We are definitely very excited to add another sister to our family! It's weird that my "baby brother" is going to be married sometime in the relatively near future, but we are so happy for them! Now we just can't wait till they come down to visit so we can celebrate. Wedding shopping, anyone?! I think so!! Congratulations, JJ and Bailey!!
