BIG ANNOUCNCEMENT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!



I'M ENGAGED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

okay i know it has been a month now but i have reason. i went back to Oklahoma to do some fundraising and it was right before i left that it happened. While i am in Oklahoma nothing but fundraising gets done. And now, i have time to sit down and tell you all about my life and my future.

here we go....

March 2001- Rodo and Becca Meet.
Summer 2004- Becca is in Mexico all summer and gets to know Rodo better
Summer 2005- Friendship is growing and Rodo asks Becca out for the first time. Becca says No. Not because she didn't like him but because she didn't know what her life was going to look like in the future so why go on a date just to date?
Summer 2006- Friendship continues to grow and they become REALLY GOOD FRIENDS!
Summer 2007- Enjoying the Friendship
October 2007- Jim and Betty get married. Rodo and Becca salsa dance the night away. Becca crazily puts her number in Rodo's phone.
A week later- Rodo calls Becca in Oklahoma for the first time.
Spring Break 2008- Rodo tells Becca his intentions with talking to her and pursing her on the phone.
Summer 2008- Rodo and Becca go on 7 dates before making it official.
July 30, 2008- Becca's 23rd Birthday and the day Rodo OFFICIALLY asks Becca to be his girlfriend. (one of the best days ever in Becca's books)
January 2, 2009- Rodo and Becca say "I love you" for the first time!
August 2009- Rodo goes home with Becca for the first time. Meets all of her friends and family.

So there is the story of Becca and Rodolfo until 2010. And now, the proposal story!!!!!

July 28th we set off on a surprise trip for "my birthday" and our 2 year! we get to the bus station here in Monterrey and my roomate, Hope, with her boyfriend, Cheque, were there for a surprise. So the 4 of us set off on an adventure. We went to a place called Queretaro. It is 9 hours from Monterrey. Inside of Queretaro was another town called Tequisquiapan. In that city they have a hot air balloon service. So July 30, 2010 just rodo and i got up and met in the lobby at 6:00 AM. Just me and him went up in the hot air balloon. it was SO ROMANTIC. little did i know what was coming next. When we landed, rodo put my camera on Video and asked the captain of our hot air balloon to video. i still had no idea what was going on. Then Rodo starts saying very sweet things about me and our relationship and he pulls out a ring and gets on his knee. I THOUGHT IT WAS A JOKE. HAHA but as it came to reality i quickly said yes. SO I AM OFFICIALLY ENGAGED as of July 30,2010 at 7:45 AM.
We are so excited to see how God is going to use us together as a couple. We have been eager to get some things planned already. Our Wedding Date is March 5, 2011. Just Family is coming. But then we are going to do a HUGE reception in Oklahoma towards the end of March and everyone and anyone is invited to that. We have 6 months to prepare things for the rest of our lives. We know that the wedding is one day out of the rest of our lives. So we are more eager to plan things for our future than the wedding right now.
We ask for your prayers as we are in a new season. We ask for your prayers for our future together and for our family.

All of you need to start practicing my new last name. My name will be Rebecca Lynn Arguello. the g is silent and the ll sounds like a Y. Go ahead try and say it. haha

Enjoy!!! This was the most wonderful day of my life. (so far) i am sure the wedding day will outweigh that haha. My fiance is the most kind, gentle, tender hearted person i know. i am so in love with him and excited that he chose ME! if you don't know him, i hope you will get to one day. Thank you for all of those that are excited for us and are praying for us.
