We're getting Married!!!


WE'RE GETTING MARRIED!!!!!!!!!!!! I have been waiting for so long to get to tell the world this and last night it finally happened...and boy was I surprised! Brandon and I have known that we were getting married for awhile and have been planning things, so it all came down to when we were going to get engaged to make it official...so I'll tell you quickly how it happened...


First I should tell another little story...so maybe a year ago Brandon and I were going to hangout and he was running a bit late because he was at the mall buying I think Jeans...so he calls me on my cell phone and says he's on his way and that he bought be a present...so I'm all excited wondering what it could be. When he gets to my house he hands me a GAP bag and I'm thinking oh he bought me a shirt or something like that cool....I open it up and there are socks!! thoughtful but who buys socks as a surprise present, so I thanked him but said that socks are not a present, but that it was sweet of him!


So back to last night, I hadn't been feeling great yesterday I have a cold and it's really hit me hard yesterday, I went home from work and while I was waiting for Brandon to show I laid in bed and watched 90210. When I had talked to Brandon he said he'd be over in about an hour, we were going to go out to a movie. So that's at about 6pm...by 9pm I was starting to get a little upset, when he called and said he was on his way he was just going to pick a movie up...9:50pm he finally shows up and I was not impressed, I was pretty upset because I didn't feel well and I'd been waiting up for him. When I asked him to explain why he was late he couldn't really give me a reason. So we get some ice cream and watch the movie which was a cute movie...definitely more a chick flick then something he would normally pick. I stayed kinda bummed at him all night, but when it's time for him to go we made up and it was all better. I explain to him that he should just call if he's going to be late. So he gives me a big hug and tells me that when he leaves I should go right to bed, he said this a few times. So i go upstairs and am just putting a few things away in my room when I look on my bed and there is a GAP bag sitting on it- I'm thinking random that wasn't there before. So I go and pick it up and pull what's inside out, and it's socks- one's that I actually was going to buy before- so I'm like oh that's sweet of him- then I realize that there is a box inside of one of the socks...so I pull it out, open it and there is my beautiful ring with a little note inside of it that says,


"I know socks are not that romantic, so I have decided to add a little something. P.S= call my cell. I love you so much."

So I immediately searched like a crazy lady for my cell phone and called him. I asked him where he was and he said he was out in his car. I of course grabbed my camera and ran downstairs. He came back into the house and i gave him the biggest hug and he asked me to marry him...of course I was a little teary and of course said yes, and he put the ring on my finger. I think my smile was from ear to ear I was so excited. I was definitely surprised, he explained to me finally the reason he was so late...he'd been at the mall searching for something else he wanted to use to propose but couldn't find it and that's when he remembered the whole sock story from before, and set it all up the very sneaky guy. I of course felt so bad that I had been so upset with him most of the night. He laughed because he said it added even more to his surprise!!

I am just so excited to marry Brandon, I cannot wait until he is my husband and I can see him every day. I just love him so much and he makes me so happy!

It's nice because I can finally share my excitement and the plans we are making. Things are actually really coming along, we've booked our reception spot and the temple...we'll be getting married August 4th, 2007 at 2pm...write it down in your calendars!!!!!

Don't look at the pictures too close, I look a mess, just remeber I am sick with a cold in them!!hahha!!
