BREAKING NEWS!!

Another Holmes Wedding!

Emilee and Laine are Engaged!

For those of you who are still out of the loop,

Emilee and Laine are engaged! 

So, it's all hands on deck here and mad wedding 

planning in the progress! 

After a romantic proposal today at beautiful 

Edith Falls (and a lovely picnic lunch),

on bended knee, the question was asked

and of course, she said Yes! 

As each of the girls prepares to leave the 

Holmes nest, one by one, mixed emotions

rise up inside of every member of the family. 

But for Dave and I, it's a time of soul searching,

"have we done enough training? is she ready to 

pledge her life and love to another? is she

ready to follow her man into the great unknown

and embrace whatever the Lord has instore for her?"

Sigh. It's always hard letting go,

but the decision is made easier when we know

that the future son-in-law loves the Lord

and wants to serve Him wholeheartedly. 

So as we start out on yet another 'letting go' 

moment, we are blessed beyond measure

knowing that this is God's will and that 

both Emilee and Laine want to follow 

the Lord in whatever He has for them. 

And for those of you girls out there

asking the question, "Where's the ring?",

well, here's a photo. 

Laine painstakingly sought high and low

for the perfect ring and it is beautiful!
