It's OFFICIAL!!




The most adorable couple in the world are now engaged!! My son Joey gave his love Erin the most BEAUTFUL! engagement ring on January 1, 2006. What a way to start out the New Year!

He really planned this for months on how exactly to "ask the question". Of course he spoke with her Father first and got Dad's ok. Joey was so cute, he told me that he was nervous talking with Erin's Father.

They both had a whirl wind holiday, first Joey coming to see me on Dec. 23rd, then Erin flew up from Virginia on Dec. 27th. On the 28th we all went to R.I. to visit my mother (Joey's grandmother) and my grandmother (Joey's great-grandmother). We all had a great time.
Next day, Joey and Erin went to Boston for the day, and then the next day they left for 2 days in NYC, seeing the Broadway musical "Wicked" and a day of touring NYC.

They left NYC January 1, 2006 and they were both so tired and excited after their fun filled Christmas vacation............little did Erin know, the excitement was not over yet! They landed in Greensboro, NC and drove to Roanoke, VA. where Erin lives. I think she thought "whew I am finally home and can relax" Ha! what she didn't know...........:)

The PROPOSAL! the Family and Friends! all there to surprise her and share in the celebration of the engagement. Joey had it all planned with Erin's best friend Betsy, who Erin lives with. Joey had some of Erin's college friends fly in from other states, and some drove from other states.........all to share this with her. I am so HAPPY! for them! Joey and Erin called me later that evening and I got to congratulate them. Now I am just waiting to get a good picture of the "rock" on Erin's hand, and to find out the plans for the wedding. Looks like I will be going back to Virginia soon!!!!
