Over this past weekend, my daughter Casey’s boyfriend, Rick Reed, proposed…she accepted.
They were at a winery/restaurant here in the Hill Country and Rick took to the knee.
We are very excited for both of them. While they have not yet set a date, they are very excited at what this next phase of life will be like — together.
Below are Rick and Casey on the day of their engagement. Wow! I get another son and neither Patti nor I had to go through labor. This is going to be fun!
