ENGAGED!!!!


So many people have been asking for the engagement story so here ya go!
On Friday (Nov. 13th) Travis picked me up from work so that we could go spend the night at his parents. We were going there to go to the Temple to do their family names and then he also had to help his dad pour concrete on Saturday morning. After we went to the Temple Travis said we should go out to eat dinner because I got a new job and we needed to celebrate. We went to his house and showered and got ready and then got in the car to go. Then Trav said "I think we should go to the store before we go eat so that we don't have to go after and we can just go straight home." Right...I was starving so of course I told him we should just go after. But he wouldn't listen. So we went to Target, I hurried and got what I needed, and wanted to hurry and leave. But Trav thought it would be a good time to look at TV's. I of course got mad again because why would we want a TV from Target?....and I was hungry! So I finally got him to leave and when we got in the car he said he forgot his wallet and we needed to go get it at the house. When we got back to the house I walked in and there was a candlelight dinner with Olive Garden and flowers that his brothers had set up for us. I then realized why he was being so difficult! So Travis took me over to the table and told me he wasn't going to make me eat before doing it. He told me all his feelings for me and how much he loved me and then said "well I guess there is just one thing missing," which is when he got down on one knee and pulled out my GORGEOUS ring! And here we are engaged now!! Travis enjoyed the Olive Garden but as hungry as I had been I seemed to lose my appetite! I was too excited and shaky to eat...so he ate and I called family! After it was all said and done I started asking questions like when he got the ring and when he talked to my dad. Turns out he talked to my dad that day right before he picked me up from work so that my dad didn't have time to blab! Haha. Even though I was expecting to get engaged sometime he still managed to surprise me! I had no clue it was happening until I saw the table all set up! We didn't have a camera so I didn't get pictures of the table or anything....but just believe me that it was amazing!
Our wedding will be on April 24, 2010 in the Draper Temple. It is the day after Travis graduates so we will be extra busy that week! I can't wait though! I'm the luckiest girl alive to get to spend the rest of my life with Travis!! Now to make things perfect it would be nice to find out where we are going to live. So far he has been accepted to Iowa, Michigan, and Texas...we still won't know about the U until March or April. But we will keep you updated! :)
