Where exactly did I dry my yellow beauties?

Since my mom is like, the bom.com (click!) and is the most awesome flower person ever, she is going to make a flower arrangement with my little yellow cuties.

SO I'm sure you have already heard and all, but I'm engaged! I thought I would do a cute little post on how it happened :)

SO let's give some background. It didn't come as a surprise at all. We have been talking about getting engaged for a couple of weeks and he even told me (last week) that he was going to go look at rings with his mom. This was the order in which Nick thought things should go. Get ring...talk to dad...propose. So I thought to myself, "Even if he does get a ring today (last Friday), he won't be able to talk with my dad because my dad's leaving on a camp out today and will be gone all weekend."
Well, Nick is sneaky, and he kinda sorta tricked me....FALSE. I was never tricked whatsoever. When Nick called me Friday afternoon asking me to go to dinner with him and wanting me to dress nice, I knew he was proposing. I was confused though. How did he talk with my dad so soon? He only barely looked for rings that day! (last Friday).

SO, I came home very nervous, knowing that tonight was the night and my family only confirmed my suspicions. They all acted like they knew something that I didn't and they couldn't stop smiling and getting excited about me going out with Nick that night. So Nick picked me up and we went to dinner. I hardly ate anything I was so anxious. After dinner we had filled our bellies to their maximum capacity...

Me: "What are we going to do now?"

Nick: "I don't know. Want to do something random?"

Me: *WHAT?!* "Ummm...sure, like what?" **Nick NEVER wants to do anything random!

What's he planning?**

Nick: "Want to go see the house I was born in?" **sweet smile**

Me: ".......sure......" **Ya, ok, that's extremely random**

------15 minutes later, driving-------

Me: "So, where is the house you born in?"

Nick: **nervousness** "Oh, well, um, it's over by the um...by the temple..." **sideways glance**

Me: **light bulb of understanding** "oh ok" :D

SO we ended up looking at the house he was born in for a grand total of 2 seconds, and then Nick CASUALLY asks "Want to walk around the temple for a bit?" So we're walking around the temple and he's SOO nervous and cute and I'm laughing because I TOTALLY know what's going on. SO then we sat down on a bench in front of the temple and he's hugging me. At this point we have our heads against each other and he's so nervous that I can feel his racing heart beat through his head. I tried to be funny so I reached around to his neck and felt his pulse. He got embarrassed and pulled my hand away. SO then he says "Can I ask you something?" and I say "Of course" and he gets down on one knee, says a bunch of sweet things and then asks me to marry him. Can you guess what I said? "YES!"
and yes I did cry, but he's used to my sobbing at this point

so here is the ring. It's not the best picture...it's WAY better in person, but this is the best my camera could do for the time beingHe did good eh? (that's right, I'm legit Canadian)

I can't wait to keep you all up to date with all the goings on as we plan the reception and I prepare to go to the temple!
Oh and guess what?! I already have a dress! We'll have to save that for next time.... :)

Canadians like to live alone

Dream Dress

OK, just so ya'll know, I"M ENGAGED! Crazy weird huh? I can't hardly believe it myself! So naturally I went looking for a dress online and I found this! Isn't it beautiful? I love it so much. It's probably way too expensive though. They conveniently left out the price...
Do any of you have any thoughts about the dress?

We're shooting for May 16th. This could change though once we figure out where the reception is going to be and we schedule the wedding with the Temple.

Well, I'm kinda out of it right now, so that's all I really wanted to say. I guess many people want to hear the engagement story, but I'll have to save that for another post :)


my hair is ringing
