The Best Day Thus Far!

Well, I'M ENGAGED!!! Yup you read correctly!! So this post is gonna be all about how wonderful last night was and how much I love my "fiance" 

(Just a side note John told people to read my blog to find out how it all went down. That is a lot of pressure on my part. I mean what if I forget something, or add something, or don't do it justice?) So this is my warning that if this is a crappy post you can blame it on the pressure!!!!

The Ring!!!!!

FYI- pictures do not even come close to doing it justice!!!

So we decided that we wanted to do a date night last night with just the two of us outside of Tooele. So we had it all planned out we were going to go into Salt Lake for dinner and then to walk around the temple. (By far one of my favorite things to do!) So we were going to eat at this restaurant that John heard about that supposedly has the best Philly Cheese Steaks. (Johns favorite) but a couple days before I asked him about it and he said there was a change of plans that we weren't going there anymore, and he wouldn't tell me where we were going to go. So I was confused cause he was so excited about this other restaurant. So i dropped it. So he picked me up from my house and we headed into Salt Lake. We stopped by my grandparents house to say hi and introduce John to them. That was really good, my grandma really likes him and my grandpa didn't give him to bad of a hard time. After we left there we headed for Olive Garden. Oh I forgot to mention that while driving to my grandparents house he decided to tell me where he was going to take me for dinner. So I was super excited and I could tell that he was because of the diet he was on he hadn't had a chance to eat any good food so it was bound to be a great meal!! And of course it was, we couldn't even finish all of it. In fact we only ate a couple of bites from our main course, and doggie bagged the left overs. So after dinner we drove up to temple square and started walking around. We walked around for a while went into both visitors centers (Looking for my old roommate) and we went and sat on the couches looking at the Christus Statue for about 10-15 min. it was nice!!! After that we continued to walk around the temple and stopped at the reflecting pond and just took in the amazing sight for a good 10 min. It was amazing, the Salt Lake temple is by far my favorite!!! After that we walked back to the car and he told me that we were going to go to a look out that he used to go to in High School. It was a quick 5 minute drive. We got out of the car and walked to the overlook. It was breathtaking, you could see the whole Salt Lake valley!! We sat there and talked about trains and how small the temple looked compared to the other buildings. And then he started telling me a story about how that was almost the exact spot where his grandparents got engaged (this is when I started wondering if he was going to propose but then I thought "No he doesn't even have the ring yet" so I continued listening to his story) He told me how his Grandma was probably the most amazing woman he has ever met, and how he has only met one other person who was as amazing as her. (remember I may not have the story absolutely word for word) And me of course being the blond that I am sometimes asks who? LOL Of course he says me. and then he got down on one knee and the rest is history. No, for real I remember him getting down on one knee and pulling out the ring. But I could maybe tell you one or two words here and there that he said. except for something about marrying him. Now I don't know if that is normal but I couldn't even believe what was happening. It was like those movies where people will be talking to someone and the person sees there lips moving but no sound is coming out. It was quite strange to be honest. So I said yes of course and he put the ring on my finger and we just sat there and kissed a little and looked and the view for a little bit. It wasn't until after we were looking at the temple and everything that I got a little teary eyed. I honestly never thought that I was going to have the opportunity to marry the man of my dreams, in my favorite temple. So that kinda hit a soft spot. I was just so happy in that moment that I didn't even want it to end. So after probably 15 minutes of taking in what just happened we went to the car and started texting everyone. Everyone seemed really excited for us. A couple of my favorite responses were from Megan (my little sister) and Shanna (John's brothers wife, my future sister-in-law). So I will start with Shanna's response first. (remember it is not word for word) John sent everyone a text saying "SHE SAID YES!!!!" (but with like 30 more exclamation points) :) and Shanna says- To what? are you getting married oh my gosh I had no idea. something along those lines, and John just laughed because he was getting ring advice from Mark (brother) and told him to keep it on the DL and John figured he would tell Shanna but I guess he didn't so she was totally shocked (I hope it was a good shocked of course). And now Megan's response, so you have to understand that Megan is 13 and in the teenage "I'm to cool for school" phase. So I sent everyone a text saying "I'M GETTING MARRIED" and her reply was....."I know" and that was it. I was like are you serious right now? So I replied and told her that there was a ring now and all she said this time was "AHHHHHHH" and I didn't hear anything back from her after that. So again I am hoping it was a good AHHHH not a bad one. LOL

Well needless to say I had an amazing night. I got engaged and I got to spend a big chunk of time with the love of my life. I was really shocked I had no idea it was coming yet. But I am the luckiest girl in the world. :)

And I am so in LOVE!!!!
