Here's what happened. Nick and I were back in Bozeman for Thanksgiving. We had been spending most of our time with our families because well, that's why we went back. The weeks leading up to our trip we talked about how much we love the mountains. Nick told me that every time he goes back to Bozeman he is caught off guard by how huge and majestic the mountains are. The Friday after Thanksgiving, we decided to drive out to the house he grew up in. We drove by his house and talked about how weird it is that the people living there currently are strangers. It's really really weird. Anyway, we kept driving up to a spot where Nick and I walked to often in high school and during Nick's holidays home. It overlooks Bozeman and has a stunning view of the mountains, especially at sunset. Nick brought his guitar with and we started by singing Come Thou Fount, one of our favorites. It is easy for me to worship when I am with Nick in the mountains. Nick then asked if he could play me another song he had been learning. I agreed, of course, and he began to play and sing truly one of the most beautiful songs I've ever heard. He wrote it. For me. When the song ended Nick was on his knee and he asked me to marry him. Obviously, I said yes. Like, I seriously don't think I even needed to write that sentence.
So now we are actually, for realsies getting married. No more "We've talked about it...someday we hope to". We are actually going to be wed.
On May 25, 2015, Nicholas Jacob Braaksma will be my husband.
Our hearts are expectant of all the Lord is going to do in this short season of engagement and in the much longer season of marriage. May our love point directly to the one who is truly worthy.
