My family and I have been keeping this sort of quiet for the last few months since we didn't know where it was heading, but I have been courting a godly young man since shortly after Christmas and, well, we're now engaged!!!!!!!!
I'm getting married this summer!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Pictures of my handsome husband-to-be and me will be coming soon! I can't wait to share all of the details!
Not really, but Elliott and I thought it would make a good April Fool's joke. ;)

Gee thanks Meredith! Steve and I were really excited and it took us too long to get it!
Wow. That kind of threw me there for a second!
Happy April Fools!

You are hilarious! I totally fell for this and I was sooooo excited for you...until I scrolled down to read the rest!! Oh well, I'll still be way excited for you when it really happens! :)

Meredith Alexander! You had my heart beat racing!!! I thought you were serious! I was like...well good grief...she never told me anything about it! I was getting all excited! I'm going to let Eli read it and see his reaction! Haha! That was truly cruel! :)
I'm such a fool - I was all teary-eyed and everything.
Very CRUEL!!!! Meredith! I had prided myself on the fact that no one had fooled me today and you HAD to ruin it!!! But I must admit very witty (/ingenious) You and your brother are a devious duo.

Now that was mean!! lol Though, truth be told I can see doing that.
I think you beat me when it comes to April fool's!
LOL! I almost blew a gasket! Especially since I didn't find this post until this morning and thus my April fool's guard was way down! :D
Oh my goodness I just about fell out of my chair! haha.. GOOD ONE!
You are so MEAN! But I still Love You!
I was so excited for you and you got me too.
Wow, you totally had me! I completely believed you! Well, someday we will read a post like this one...without the april fools tacked onto the end!!
Have a good day. Oh, I guess I'll introduce myself. My name is Sarah and I'm a twenty year old girl who is striving to serve at home as well!! I found your blog off of the Millers blog!
Have a blessed day,
Sarah
Wow!That was just about the best April fools joke ever! I was just about to run downstairs and tell Mom and Kendal! You defentally fooled me!
I hope you have a great day! Kelsey
Meredith, that is just WRONG!!! You so got us...sooooo not cool:) You got us, you got us!
You totally got my mom...she freaked out.
Oh my goodness! I was so shocked, thrilled and excited when I read it..... then I read the last line.... yes, you got me too.
The even more exciting part is that I know this will be a post someday soon and it will be because God has brought that amazing someone! His timing is so perfect!
