Ed's Engagement Weekend

What a weekend.

We knew this weekend was going to happen since August and to have it finally be here and now over with...is so surreal.

Tate's best friend shared with us back in August he wanted to propose to his girlfriend...and he wanted it to be in MN with all of us there (he lives in Milwaukee)!! I didn't believe the  news @ first because I honestly thought it would take Ed forever to find 'the one'! Well...he found his one and true love and she said YES!!!

Ed had Tate help him plan the evening along with Ed's good friend that lives in MN, Amy. He rented a private room @ The Prohibition. He asked Jennessa's best friends (4 of them) to come to MN for the event. They all did which was awesome. 1 from LA, 1 from Texas, 1 from Chicago and the other from Milwaukee. All of Ed's good friends came to town for the proposal also...South Dakota, Illinois and then the rest of us already lived in MN.

Ed and his boys!

Ed and Jennessa flew in Friday afternoon and had a fun night catching up with friends. Saturday afternoon they came to our house to hang out with us and Turner. In Jennessa's mind this was the only time she was going to see us until the Vikings vs Packers game on Sunday. They left and it was time for Tate and I to get ready. My mom was here to watch Turner so we decided to have ourselves a little date night before the celebration! 

We enjoyed sushi at Crave before the party. We got to The Prohibition and enjoyed seeing everyone before the couple arrived. Ed and Jennessa went to dinner before and Ed kept texting Tate that he couldn't eat or drink because he was so nervous.

The couple finally arrived. We had her best friends standing right @ the entrance of the private room so that she would see them right away, hug them and that would give Ed a chance to get down on one knee. She was so excited to see her friends and Ed nervously got down on one knee. He was shaking, it was adorable.

She was SO SURPRISED. She was not expecting this at all...which it makes it so much better. We celebrated the night away. So much fun!!!

The happy and super adorable couple!

We partied the night away. Stayed out longer than I have in a really long time! Didn't get to bed until past 2 am and I knew we had to wake early in the morning not only because of our lil' guy....but also because we were planning on going to the Vikings vs Packers football game.

We met up in the morning for some good breakfast and bloody's. Then cheered on the Vikings (Tate, Ed & Jennessa cheered on the Packers) on the beautiful day. So perfect for an outdoor football game. 

Even though I was disappointed that the Vikings lost, it was a good game that really came down to the end. 

It was such a fun weekend and now we can't wait for the wedding! So so so happy for Ed that God brought Jennessa into his life! These 2 are perfect for each other and I am so happy for them! 

After the game...we went back to our house where every one was a bit tuckered out (including Mya)! Turner just wanted to play play play. Ed and Jennessa actually fell asleep and I caught Turner trying to wake them up to play. It was so cute!!!!

I hope you all had a good weekend also! Cheers to a short work week and a few days of celebrating with family and friends!
