Dear Family,
With great joy & excitement, I announce that Alex & I as we are recently ENGAGED!
This past Friday, Alex picked me up for a surprise date night which started off with a stroll through Seward Park near my house. On our walk, we were casually talking about all the great things God is doing in our lives and enjoying the beauty of His creation on the dry, overcast day. As we encountered a beach of rocks, we couldn't pass up the opportunity for a little competitive rock skipping (which Alex let me win). After our first round, we both were seeking for more skipping rocks and in so doing Alex got down on one knee and asked, "Diana, how about this rock?" To my surprise, I gasped for air, had the biggest smile, tears running down my face, and was speechless. After a few precious words he asked me to marry him and I emphatically said "YES!"
The night continued with a fancy delicous dinner at Canlis Restaurant, then we joined Joanne & Jaime at The Local Vine in downtown Seattle afterwards for a celebratory toast.
It was a magical evening and we are truly excited for what lies ahead! We are very thankful as Jesus has blessed us with His love and grace throughout our relationship. Without God, we wouldn't have met 10 months ago or be where we are today. I look forward to introducing you to Mr. Alex Hopwood. We are in prayer for a 2009 wedding.
Blessed,
-Diana (and Alex Hopwood)
