Tonight, we had an AWESOME "Engagement Party" hosted by Brandon's Nana & Gramps. We've been engaged over a year now...but we couldn't call it a "Wedding Party"...because we don't get married for 3 weeks. (3 weeks from today!!!) It was such a special night with very special people. We all had a WONDERFUL time! Thank you SO MUCH to Nana and Gramps for hosting such a fun evening!
Here we are with Nana and Gramps. Thank you!!! Everything was so good!!!
And here is the happy couple!!! For some reason, Brandon always decides to make faces at the camera while his bride looks radiant and beautiful. (That was a joke!!!)
Nana and Gramps had the back porch looking so nice. And even though it was raining, it didn't "rain on our parade." The rain brought a welcome breeze...and another surprise that you will see in a couple of pictures. The center table was set with "Love Birds" for Brandon and I. We had a great time!
Our dinner tonight consisted of hot dogs, hamburgers, baked beans, deviled eggs, fresh fruit, chili, and chips. It was quite the picnic! Everything was so good...we are STILL full! After dinner, we had homemade ice cream!!! Mmmmm!
This was the surprise I mentioned earlier. A FULL RAINBOW!!! Brandon and I considered this a "good luck charm" for our upcoming wedding and marriage. It isn't too often that you can see a rainbow from start to finish....and this was so close to us that I couldn't fit the whole thing into the picture! It was breath-taking!
We got to witness Nana's nightly routine tonight...
Each night, she goes out the back door and clangs a bell, then she shakes some bird feed.... 
And the Blue-Birds came swooping right in!!! It was amazing! Within 10 seconds, they responded to the sounds!
We had such a fun time tonight. Once the sun went down, the white lights surrounding the deck just looked absolutely beautiful!
Thank you SO MUCH to Nana and Gramps for throwing such a fun party for us! And thank you to Doug, Sue, Shane, Michelle, Bill, Marsha, Barb, and Frank for celebrating with us!
Only 3 weeks til our wedding day....and we can't wait!!!
