He Put A Ring On It.

I'm ENGAGED!!!

Tyler & I finally decided it was time to get married!

We are soo excited & happy.

As for the engagement story...

So...Tyler and I have been talking about this for a while and we actually started planning things out several weeks before we got engaged. He got permission from my dad and then a week went by. Meanwhile, I was getting kind of upset, because there is only so much planning you can do before you make it official and announce it. I started bugging him about what he was waiting for and that he needed to get on it, but he wanted to catch me off guard I guess so he took his sweet time and definitely caught me off guard. All week long I had been dressing up--even changing out of my sweats on the days I had dance (this I never do w/o a good reason) Monday rolled around and it was no different. I got all cute and went to school. The problem was when I left my house the weather wasn't too bad. I left in a t-shirt and shrug...definitely not rain gear. By the time I got to school, it was pouring rain. Luckily I had a light jacket in my car I was able to throw on, but by the time I got to my first class...My hair was no longer straight thanks to lots and lots of rain...and my feet were soaked along with the bottom of my jeans. Everything that could have gone wrong this day, did. By the time the evening rolled around I had had it with the day and broke down in tears. So, there goes my makeup. Tyler wanted to go to Santaquin and was acting so funny, because he was trying to sell his car and had forgotten a guy was supposed to come and see it--meaning we would have to wait to go down to his parents. He tried canceling on the guy and I kept telling him we could go down another night that it was important to show the guy the car since he was driving down from Salt Lake. He tried rescheduling and the guy got really pushy and made it clear how interested he was. I thought Tyler was crazy for trying to blow him off, but in the end he decided to stick around and show the car. What I didn't know was that we were supposed to be going to dinner before heading out to Santaquin, but that wasn't possible since he had to show the car. Anyway, we went down to Santaquin...me makeup less...and wearing the biggest warmest hoodie I could find of Tyler's in his closet. We got to the house and I was upstairs with his mom, and him and his dad went downstairs, little did I know, they went downstairs and outside. They came back up a while later and sat back down with us for a bit. Tyler went to the window and mentioned that it had stopped snowing. His dad immediately was like--you should go look at the lights! (you can see a lot of the valley from their deck.) I thought it was sorta weird though, because it was foggy out. Then Tyler said I should come with him, at this point, I completely knew something was up. My suspisions were correct. He took me outside & we talked for a minute and then he walked me to the edge of the deck and had me look down...he spelt Marry Me? with glow sticks in the snow. Lucky for him, he had his dad's help who corrected it after Tyler started to spell merry instead of marry...haha. Then he got down on one knee and well...you can probably figure out the rest. :)

 So for a long time Tyler has always joked that he was going to propose with a watch with diamonds rather than a ring...so when we began talking about getting married he asked me if he could propose with a Nixon Player because it has a real diamond in it. I told him no way, but that I would settle for the Nixon Chalet even though it's diamonds weren't real. So since it has always been our joke, he got me my watch too!!!
