Pending Nuptial!!

So many 3 month periods in my current 27 years of existence, but these last 3 months have been among the best!.....and at the end of these most recent 3 months, I am happy to announce to the world that I am...how you say...

Engaged!!

You know this guy Brandon I told you about earlier?

That's the guy that asked me if I would marry him and be his eternal sweetheart.

And you know this girl?

This is the girl that said yes, and then cried.

The Story: May 2nd, 3 months since our first date, Brandon says he wants to take me to dinner to celebrate. That day I got a dozen roses delivered to my door, he picked me up after work and took me to the Melting Pot for dinner!

I didn't see it coming because he had sneakily thrown me off his scent by telling me he was having my ring custom designed, and that it wouldn't be ready for 3 or 4 more weeks......Anyway, after dinner, right around sunset, we headed up towards Ensign Peak and took a walk up in the hills overlooking the city. As we were walking, Brandon stopped and said he had a rock in his shoe. He sat down, and took his shoe off.....turned it over, and dumped out my ring! He had it taped in his shoe all night! That is quite the rock to have in your shoe eh?!

Well, you know the rest.....he asked the question, and I said the little answer (the one that rhymes with Guess...not the one that rhymes with Snow). We stayed up there and snuggled under blankets and star gazed for a bit, then came back to his place where he had whipped out this little number....

Candle, Rose Petals, and Strawberry Shortcake....my favorite! Can we say Mr. Romantic? He has knocked me off my feet from day 1. He is everything I could have ever asked for in a man I love, and more!

The Details: We're getting married in Denver, Colorado on August 2nd.....and I tell you what, it could not come soon enough! As far as planning goes, in less than 2 weeks, I already have my dress, my reception planned, my invitations picked, my cake, my colors, the honeymoon booked & Brandon's Ring. Not bad right? This wedding planning stuff is a breeze! I cannot wait to be a wedded woman, a wife, in the left-hand ring club, officially off the market, start receiving my monthly subscription to the Eternal Bliss Newsletter....and mostly to have someone with me every step of the way for the rest of my life, to help me become all that is in me to become, and love and support me and will let me be the same for him.

For a guy I grew up with, and hardly remember going to my Senior Homecoming with.....

(the penguin is also invited to the wedding)

I'm so glad he showed up in my life again 10 years later. He has turned out to be quite the studly catch....and such a perfect match you would think God tailor made him just for me! And now he's mine.....all mine! Can life get any better than this?
