The story of how we got engaged? Well we were official on Facebook before we ever had a ring. Heck we are in love and are getting married, who needs a ring?! But he finally did the whole proposal thing again. :) It was so sweet. :)
He wanted to take me on a temple date that whole week, but he had gotten sick on Monday, the original date of THE date, so we finally went on Friday? I don't remember, is that terrible? Haha it was Friday January 17th. :) Anyways he took me to a nice dinner and then we were going to go to the temple. We just started walking around the temple like we normally do and he walked me to the bench in the far corner of the temple grounds. :) He was talking about everything imaginable! :) He talked a lot about our future together though and at one point started talking about how he hoped I would put up with his imperfections and asked me if I would. I thought he was going to get on one knee right there after I said yes, but he didn't! He just gave me his jacket and we kept on talking about life, families and how we both just fit in to each other's and the future.
We got up and started walking again. He walked me all the way around then to the front and asked where the Wedding Exit was. I showed him and he was like Oh okay. We stood right there at the exit and he hugged me and gave me a kiss. He grabbed my left hand and pulled me around and tried to spin me into him where we could dance, but his shirt button got caught in my hair... So that ruined that moment haha. :) He and I just laughed and continued to hug. He heard some people coming and so we walked to some benches by a tree. I thought we were going to walk out of the grounds because that's where we were headed but he stopped me and started giving me a hug again. :) He kept on talking about the future and me and him. He then asked me, "Are you ready to make this thing official?" He got down on one knee and pulled the ring out and asked me to be his wife. :) Of course I said yes and then we were engaged. :) All over again. ;)
Since that was over a month ago I think I should fill everyone in. Wedding planning is going great! It's so crazy how easy and calm I feel about it all. Probably just because I just want to get married, I don't really care about the whole SHABANG of it all. We ARE making it formal and traditional though. :) I am super excited to get married to Mark FINALLY! Life now that he has been home for a little over 2 months has been good. We have had a lot of ups and downs, but mainly ups! :) We are still getting used to actually being around each other, but we have almost finally gotten used to it. :) It was a hard adjustment, him coming home and both of us realizing how each of us have changed, but we have worked out a lot of things since he has been home. :) Life is good. :) I am just so excited to start the next part of my life. :) We have been together for a little over 3 and a half years and I am just so excited to be married to my best friend. :) May 9th, 2014 couldn't come fast enough!
