Propsal!

Okay so there aren’t any pictures yet but don’t worry they will come, probably in a completely different post but I thought I would continue our story.  The Proposal- First of all we had been talking seriously about marriage since like 2 to 3 weeks after we started dating but we just kept talking about it.  One day he came over to my apartment and I was like okay, something has to be done about this!  So while we were chatting marriage came up, like usual. And I was like okay, listen we can talk and talk about marriage but if it’s going to happen then we just need to make it happen!  So that was just the little push he needed and things really got serious.  We talked about fall break because August was just way TOO close.   Good thing we didn’t end up waiting! (Thanks mostly to his parents!)  A few week s later we went ring shopping!! It was so much fun.  We decided to have my ring designed but the only catch was that my birthday was the next weekend and so he needed the ring fast.  Luckily the guy who designed it made it work.  For my birthday he had planned to surprise me and fly me home for my birthday but he didn’t know how intuitive I was and I knew he was taking me home… how sweet!  So on Saturday he showed up to my work with a present in his hands that had double stuffed Oreos and a tin of nuts.  Attached was a note that said “Because I’m NUTS for you DOUBLE STUFF your bags we’re going to Denver for the weekend!” I was so excited! Because I’d already known we were leaving I had pretty much packed the night before and just had a few more things to throw in and then we were on our way to the airport.  PS I tried to act surprised when he showed up at my work but I’m a TERRIBLE liar so he knew that I knew. But it was still the greatest birthday present.

When we got to Denver we spent lots of time with my family and then we were off to bed. The next morning the boys went to play basketball and my mom and I went for a walk.  Then that night we went downtown to a rockies game which was FREEZING! So we didn’t stay the whole time but afterwards walked around downtown and then just called it a night and went home to bed.  The next day was Sunday and also my birthday.  The day before he had asked me if I would take him up to a place called High Point that looks out over all of the city but I had never been there before so there is a spot above the high school that is pretty similar just not quite the hike so I told him I’d take him there.  So on Sunday when I got up that’s where we went and he brought a box which he said was my birthday present.  So when we got up there I open it and it was a book, with a picture of us on the cover.  The book is SO cute and creative; it had tons of pictures of us and a little poem underneath so I figured I knew what was coming at the end so I flew through the pages.  At the end he got down on his knee!  It was such a great day.  On Monday we had Engagements and then Tuesday we flew home!  It was a fun trip and fun to show Kevin a little bit of where I grew up.  Later that week he left for Elko, Nevada where he spent all of the summer before we got married.  We only got to see each other on weekends but it was worth it now because I am married to the most wonderful person. He is so good to me and I could not ask for anything more!
