The Proposal Story

Approximately Forty Minutes After This Photo Was Taken I Got Engaged! Crazy!

I've decided to start this blog to let all of our family and friends in on the adventure Matt and I are embarking on. It is all quite exciting and I am hoping that this will become a place where we can simply update everyone on the wedding. It will be slightly easier then telling everyone individually ;) So, lets begin . ..

Matt and I have been together for a little over three months. Two weeks ago, Matt got down on one knee and proposed to me. I'm ENGAGED! It is still pretty surreal for me to say that. Getting married in the temple has been something that I have always wanted and knowing it will be happening with the most amazing man, I am so lucky and blessed.

For those of you who don't know the proposal story, I thought I would share that with you :) On the 22nd of February, Matt and I went home so I could help my dear friend with the music for her reception that was the next day. We got to Moses Lake and Matt kindly dropped me off at home so I could get settled in. A little bit later I drove out to his house to hang out and mingle with his parents :) I'm not quite sure how long I stayed but I had to be going because I was to wake early in the morning so I could figure out the music. After the music was done the next day, I headed to Matt's house again and was there for a little bit chatting it up with his Mom and Dad. I wasn't there for too long when we decided to go on our walk. I had been wanting to go on a walk for quite some time but was always unable to because mother nature here in Cheney can be slightly bi-polar. Anyways, it was a beautiful day for a walk in Moses Lake so we decided to do that. By this point I knew something was up because Matt was acting a little weird, I just brushed it off though. Matt took me out to Crab Creek a place near where he lives, he goes out there to think and fish. When we got there we just started walking. I really knew something was up because he kept messing around in his right jacket pocket. I had a feeling of what was coming ;) We walked along the edge of the water and then came to a point where we could walk no more because the brush was too high. We were looking at each other and telling one another how we will love each other forever and ever ;) I hugged him extra tight and when the embrace was over he knelt down and started saying my full name and pulled out the ring box and asked, "Will You Marry Me?"

It was the greatest moment in my life, I could but couldn't believe what was happening. Of course I said yes :) Ever since then it has been a whirlwind of making decisions and enjoying the moment. I am so incredibly lucky to have found someone who I can call my best friend and will one day be sealed to For Time and All Eternity.

That is it for now but I will write again soon including all the details that have developed.

111 Days To Go :)

Love,
