Word: I love you!

So remember how my last post was about my life since the semester started but it just seemed to focus on this one person? Well that's for really good reason:
Michael and I are engaged!

We're getting married on the 7th of July. 77 is Mike's football number. So that's the day we're getting hitched in hopes that he won't forget our anniversary if he wears it on his back once a week for 4 years.

This was in the works for a while but Mike had to go home and chat with my parents about things first. We were pretty sure they were going to say yes... but they basically needed to tell him that I'm crazy sometimes and see if he was up for the task. So after their chat, he went to priesthood session of conference and listened to President Monson's talk about marriage, keep in mind he's sitting in between my brother and dad. My brother whispering pseudo-intimidating things and my dad just thoughtfully listening. Meanwhile from Texas his dad is texting him that the Prophet is thrashing him for not asking yet. Oh that poor guy... good thing he already had the whole thing planned out.

So the little bugger told me the ring was still at the store and wouldn't be done until after we were back in Provo so I was just going along my day without a thought that anything was going to happen. After dinner on Saturday we went for a drive in my truck to overlook Boise. We were talking about my family and our future when he said some great things, that he knows I love, and asked me to marry him. He'd done this before but just not officially so I said yes and kissed him and then I felt him slide the most beautiful ring on my finger. I've never been so happy.

So that's our plan for the summer. We both just can't wait to be done with finals and everything school related. On Tuesday we head to North Carolina to be with his family for a week. I can't even begin to tell you how excited we are! I've heard it's beautiful and he has so many memories there. We just have to make it through the next 3 days (yes, I'm counting down).

Just yesterday a friend of ours in Biology asked if we were getting married. When we said yes he got so excited because he could claim that he was there when it all began. I can't wait to marry the most amazing man I've ever met.
