ENGAGED (Hayley and Joe) Happy Day!!!!!

Dear family,
isn't it great that Hayley and Joe Jacob are engaged to be sealed in the SLC temple on April 23 ?

Dad and I --well, lets just say in short:we couldn't be happier.
Did you all know all of these fun facts?

*Joe grew up in Orem (but at one time lived in Payson Like we did)
*he is the fourth of five kids. one brother 3 sisters-
*he is "uncle joe" to a lot of cute nieces and nephews

*He moved back from NY (where he went to medical school.)
It was wonderful that he was accepted to the U of U to do his residency.
*Interestingly enough that is about the time Hayley was coming home from her Mission and after she visited brad and got back from Alaska (about four months ago).
* they started dating and fell in Love

* we are so happy to have him join our family.

*The official date of engagement was last Fri Night in Park city
*they will live and work in SLC
*Joe has a great sense of humor--the joke I love is that since Hayley was living at home at the time of their courtship--he basically enjoyed the pleasure of dating all "three of us" ha

*he brought us crab legs and brought me a winnie the pooh bank from mexico, he learned to play the accordian (during the Christmas holidays--I think it was Christmas day) , and he will eat the type of foods we eat like 'hotdog boats' and smoothies and such.
*He gave up being with his own family and came to eat Christmas dinner, so dad and I weren't just sitting here alone with Hayley on Christmas.

*He went to the BYU basketball game with Bryan and I and is willing to play the game baby steps game and pass the pigs
*he has helped make food and let us be their audience when they played a piano duet
*It has been fun to say hello when they were coming and going and he would tell us about things --like what it felt like to pass his first year medical boards--even when hayley would be anxious to be getting them on their way
*so yeah --he won us over long ago..no surprise that it worked out... they are both a great match for each other by our way of thinking.

That is wonderful news! I'm so happy for Hayley and for your family. One question though...does he have the same love for the movie "What about Bob" like the rest of your family does? :)

Congratulations to Hayley and Joe. The pictures make it look so romantic- which I'm sure it was. I am looking forward to meeting Joe.
You both radiate.
Love, Aunt Ellen
