Thanks everyone! It is very exciting news and oh, so hard, for me to keep quiet.
He is a nice young man who is very responsible and hard-working. He was slow to ask her to marry him because he wanted to be finished with school (which he actually paid for as he went by rotating work and school each year) and be financially stable.
I have been looking forward to planning her wedding for a long time. We will have fun doing it together!

Now when everyone asks her (and I mean everyone!) if they are engaged yet she can say, "YES!".
Congratulations! But now everyone will change their question to, "When are you getting married?" Once she's married, it will become, "When are you having a baby?" It really never ends, the question just changes slightly. Have a wonderful time planning everything!

My 26 yr old dd has been dating the same guy for a little over 3 years. He called my dh and I this week to ask for our blessing as he plans to propose to her this Friday. She is going to be thrilled!! She lives 11 hours away and already has a trip planned to come home on Saturday so his timing is really good. Now when everyone asks her (and I mean everyone!) if they are engaged yet she can say, "YES!".
Now....I need to lose weight for a wedding!!!!
UPDATE-- First of all, thank you all so much for your well wishes! I appreciate each one of them.
My dd left to go back "home" this morning. It's always very sad to say goodbye. I don't think I will ever get used to it. That said, we had a fabulous week. She was quite happy to show off her engagement ring. They have decided on a short engagement--10 weeks--so we went into full wedding mode. She found a dress. We booked a venue and accomplished as much planning as possible in a weeks time and had a blast doing it. Her wedding is going to be a destination wedding with less than 50 people invited.
It's going to be a crazy 10 weeks. I am finishing my degree by taking 17 credit hours, working full time and, now, planning a wedding. Sleep is over-rated! Wow, your plate is full but how fun to plan a wedding!! Congrats!

You're right. Sleep can be overrated at times. Sounds like you're about to have a marathon next 10 weeks, but I'll just bet that everything will turn out perfectly, and in time, when you look back, you won't want to change a thing. Thank you for the nice update. Check in, when you can, to keep us all in the loop or if you just need to unwind with friends. Have fun!
