ENGAGED!!


Okay for all my friends that do not have Facebook I am going to tell you how everything got started!! 

Steve actually popped the question the first time on January 31st. We had watched "Van Helsing" (really romantic movie lol...) and we had talked a bit afterworths using "we" and through casual conversation and some joking we were doing umm.. we had talked before about owning a dog and he said we could buy a dog now and it could stay at my house for sometime and then at yours sometimes.. I was wondering what in the world he was talking about. A little bit later he asked me if I would marry him. I answered Yes. He then said he That is how it all started :) We then kept it quiet till it sunk in and did some shopping.. figured out the date etc. 

On February 23rd, 2009, He came to my house dressed in "church attire" as in nice slacks, a blue shirt, tie and I was wondering what was going on. (Steve is usually dressed in khaki shorts, a tshirt and flip flops) which he did have flip flops on when he was dressed nicely. It was cute! I asked him what he was doing dressed up and he said he was going to try to do some home teaching today but it fell through. I was like okay that is how Steve works so that's cool. Didn't think anything else. 

Skyler, my brother, had a friend over so Steve said we should go upstairs we did. He pulled out is i-phone which does about everything in the world and started playing some music. We were listening to it and just chilling when one of the songs that came on was the song that plays in the "Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy" all calm and whatever and those who have at least seen the trailor will know what i am talking about.. and a little bit into the song on the trailor of the movie.. the earth explodes.. So i brought that up and was talking to Steve about that. Steve did pull us back to the "romantic part of everything" when he said there was a reason for his dressing up.. I was thinking at that moment.. Oh my gosh maybe.. just maybe.. he than gave me a big hug and said he wanted to come over and give me a big hug, and kiss. so he did.. Paused and then he got on one knee and proposed! 

So that is the whole story of how it all happened.

Our date: June 27, 2009 married in the Orlando Temple, with a reception that night starting from 6-8 pm oh and will have a ring ceremony before that.. details will be in the announcements coming out end of April beginning of May. 

We will be having an Open House in Utah, Lehi area. July 3rd, for those of our family and friends that are far away and cannot come we will be having that from 6-8 pm, so those that are out in the west are ALL invited!! 

Steve and I met, for those who don't know that story at a singles dance in September and pulled off from the beginning. He is the greatest part of me that has ever happened and I look forward to forever with him :) 

For those.. that think that singles dances are lame and not worth going to.. I would rethink that.. anything can happen at a singles dance :) 

Hope that helps with all the questions! 
We will set up one of those pages later for addresses.. later in the month until than!! if you have any other questions.. than I will try to answer as much as i can!! 
I will put a picture of the ring up close on facebook later :)
