Engaged! (how it happened)

On December 5th 2015-  The man of my dreams and my very best friend asked me to marry him. 

 

Heres how it all went down:

Saturday (yesterday) we planned to go to the temple in the morning, then go to Idaho Falls to do some Christmas shopping, lunch, then in the evening go to i-jump with some of Shel’s friends. I thought it was a pretty packed day already- so I didn’t expect anything crazy to happen.

6:30- Wake up and get ready for the day

7:00- Leave my house for a Temple session (but we didn’t get in until 8:15)

10:30- Got back to my house to change to normal clothes

11:15- Drive out to Idaho falls

11:45- Arrive at Taylor’s house (Sheldon’s twin brother) wait for their little boy to wake up, and talk about our days plans for shopping. Also they convinced us to join them for lunch and take family pictures for their little baby’s birthday.

12:30- We ate lunch at Reed’s dairy. (Grilled cheese, Chocolate milk and Ice cream. Yum!)

1:30- We got to the Greenbelt to help them take family pictures by the beautiful wintery/ icy waterfalls.

1:35- I ask if Sheldon wants to take a “selfie” there as Taylor and Rachel walk around to the other side and leave Sheldon and I there alone.

1:40- Sheldon asks what our favorite memory is together and I think; “hmm… we have too many, maybe when we went to general conference” I said… And then he replied; “mine is right now” then he got down on one knee and asked me to marry him.

1:41- Through a HUGE smile, I said YES! and hugged my new fiancé.

1:42- I then realized that Taylor and Rachel where there the whole time taking pictures. So sneaky, it was all set up.

1:45- They took more pictures of us and of the ring.

 

Basically the rest is history, we did end up doing some christmas shopping, and went to i-jump that evening. We celebrated with some chocolate pie too. But our day turned more to the excitement for our future and we called family and friends to share the news.

I LOVE my ring! So we actually went ring shopping while in Utah (previous weekend adventure) so Sheldon could see what I like, well he ended up ordering it and proposing before I could suspect anything. He’s also happy because he got a pretty good deal on it.

We are SO excited for our life together! As of now we do not have an official date set, but are planning for a wedding in the middle of April, after the winter semester ends. Then we will be sealed in one of God’s Holy Temples for time and all eternity .

I am one happy girl!
