Surprise!

I'm ENGAGED! The rumors are true, it finally happened. Those of you who know me know I have been so bummed lately because Brandon has been so shady about getting married, saying "Well maybe we could get married next year?" and "All in our own time..." and stupid crap like that and one time when I asked him he straight up ignored me and wouldn't say anything! Little did I know he was just trying to throw me off his trail, because he was 2 steps ahead of me the whole time! As it turns out he was not "paintballing" in Ogden 2 Saturdays ago, he flew to Vegas to talk to my parents! Then on March 16th, our 8 month anniversary (when he got home from selling for the summer and we decided to be officially together), he took me out to dinner at Ottavios (SO good, try the chocolate ice cream dessert thing)
and then to 8 places that are significant to our relationship, like where we met, where we said "I Love You", where we first kissed, etc.

The EXACT spot we met:Our 1st official date, Smokehouse!:Then we picked up some frozen smoothie things he made and went to walk around my apartment complex, and ended up sitting on the steps in front of the clubhouse talking and eating our frozen smoothies. Keep in mind I had NO idea this was going to happen. So I see a piece of plastic in the bottom of my smoothie so I start digging it out, thinking it fell in when he froze it or it was a toy or somthing, and i finally get it out and its a bag with my rings in it, which he takes from me, gets down on one knee, and proposed!! I was totally shocked but i managed to squeak out a YES! YES! So that trickster was able to do what few people can, which is keep a secret from me! He's the one for me! Haha but seriously, being engaged is awesome. :)





Also, I'm a speed wedding planner. I went home last Wednesday to Vegas for Spring Break and mainly planned with my mom. In 3 days I got my dress, found a miracle reception sight (there are some major advantages to someone else cancelling their wedding! ), the person who will do my flowers, we looked at cakes, and picked out a photographer. Pretty much I will have this thing all set to go in a month! The big day is June 20th, and it couldn't come sooner!
