Thanks for all your prayers!

The Proposal

So, November 1st I (Jeremy) had planned a nice dinner on the plaza at the Classic Cup. We had been the Classic Cup on our first date to the plaza. I had hoped to eat at 6:30 pm, be out to one of the bridges over brush creek by 7:30 pm so I could ask Jill to marry me. Well, it didn't work out that way. We arrived at the Classic Cup and waited over 50 mins for our meal because they gave our food to the people next to us, then promised us it would be about in "just a few minutes". We left Classic Cup around 8 pm. The whole time I wanted to say to one of the waiters, "Hey, you are messing up my time schedule for asking Jill to marry me". So I waited, waited and waited. Finally left and headed out, and Jill wanted to go shopping. So we shopped and looked, and looked and shopped, all the while me checking my pocket every 5 mins to make sure the ring was still there.









So after much waiting, shopping and walking, we slowly walked out over brush creek on the main bridge. I had called her parents (Larry and Nancy Rilinger) for their daughters' hand in marriage the day before. I got down on one knee and asked Jill to marry me. She was speechless. She put both her hands on her face and said "Oh my goodness". She was very suprised. I then said, is that a yes? Yes, yes, yes, she said. And so on November 1, 2007 Jill said yes.



The First Shower




So, we traveled to the amazing metropolis of Wamego for our first shower. We shared our first shower with an amazing couple (Andy and Kim- whose wedding is the weekend before ours), and it was their first shower too. After a wonderful dinner of soup and sandwiches, we sat down to open a few gifts from our loving family. Here are few of the pics Jill's nieces took...they profusely apologize for the out of focus, fuzzy pics, as they were interfered with by a 3 yr old grabbing at the camera. (sadly Jill's goddaughter, and ONCE favorite niece was unable to fufill her purpose of official shower picture taker, although she did get one in focus nice picture of her shoes which is not posted).

How We Met


So, here is the story. Jill's sister Jamie lives across the street from Kelli. Kelli knew Jeremy through church. Kelli thought Jill would be perfect for Jeremy. Kelli knew Jeremy as someone who had a sense of adventure, and she also knew that Jill had recently returned from a 3 month trip to Alaska. They would be perfect for each other! So after a few phone calls Jeremy and Jill had lunch at Jason's Deli on February 7th 2006 and well, we just knew! Jeremy was told to look for a short girl with dark curly hair, green glasses and a "deer in the headlights look". She was easy to spot!
