amazed once again

michael's sister, claire is engaged!

she and her fiance, bevan have been together for a few years and we are all excited to see them tie the know blissfully. i've been emailing with claire discussing wedding plans and having fun as girls do when planning a wedding. it's been great so far.

bevan competes in iron man competitions and is very good. he has an iron man in march and has now qualified for another in the netherlands. he will try for another in hawaii later in the year. because of all of these wonderful opportunities for bevan and some other things, they have decided to set the date for april 2009.

on michael's way home from work today, we were talking on the phone and i was explaining all of these things to him. he suddenly thought about the fact that the bride's parents usually pay for the wedding.

michael's parents have both passed away. bevan was so honorable, that he called michael and christopher, michael's older brother, to ask if he could marry claire. it was incredibly sweet and thoughtful.

michael had the amazing idea to call christopher tonight and suggest the two of them pay for their little sister's wedding.

how amazing is that? i have the most wonderful husband this world has ever seen. i love the way he takes care of people. i am so proud to be michael's wife.

that is amazing. completely and utterly amazing. michael is truly one of the most generous people i have ever known. and what is sexier than a generous man?!!? i don't know!!

lucky you, sister. lucky you.

(um, is there any way you can swing me an invite to this wedding, which i'm assuming will be in new zealand? :) i'm only half kidding...)
