Is the day that David and I are getting married!!! Yay! We'll be getting married in the Manti LDS temple.

He proposed Saturday afternoon. He had been telling me the whole week that we had to do something this weekend, a "surprise". I definitely knew that the surprise was the proposal and of course i was super excited. So Saturday after we got back from Frikathon i went to take a shower and he got everything ready (well tried to get it ready). He found and downloaded the first movie we ever watched together my freshman year, a french movie. The problem was that it didn't work on the PS3 and he didn't have any DVD's to burn it onto. So he told me that the surprise would have to wait until Sunday. I was pretty disappointed but just accepted it. One more day wouldn't hurt me.

We were just sitting on the couch watching a different movie and talking and then (as he says) he had a brilliant idea. He asked me to help him put the hinges on the wooden chest that someone (can't remember exactly who mom 2 or carebear) got him so that it would open and close well. I helped him out with that then he had me open the chest (this is when i realized that the ring was inside, before that i had no clue). When i opened the chest i saw the ring box sitting in the middle.

Then he took it out and asked me to marry him. I, of course, said yes! Then we called Moms and lots of other family and friends. We convinced Wudan and Sukie to come down and we played games and made toasts to celebrate. It was a great day!

The prettiest ring!

Ring on my hand!

Sorry the pictures aren't better, it's hard to take pictures of a ring.

It's been so fun the past couple of days showing the ring off and telling the news to everyone! I'm so a newly engaged girl, i just can't stop staring at the ring and watching it sparkle. In my defense though, David stares at it quite a bit too!
