He is my love, my life, and my best friend

This feels surreal!! We've been together for FIVE years and now it's official.  Do you know how long I've waited to call him my Fiance and now I can!!! I had a rough week but man he sure knew how to make me forget about that!!!!!  He always said that he'd propose when I'd least expect it but I thought I'd know when it was coming!!  He blind sided me!!! I love surprises so this was perfect!  I had told him that I wanted him to pick out the ring and everything, that I wanted it all to be a complete surprise!  So this is how it happened:

 Leading up to it:  
I had to open at work Saturday, December 4, 2010 and work till 2:00pm.  Then Ry and I were going to go to Layton so that I could babysit his niece Sarah while Mel and JB went out and celebrated their Anniversary.  So I'm at work and he comes and brings me lunch and says to meet him at his apartment when I get off and we'll go down to Layton.  So I get off work and go to his apartment.  We get in the car and he says lets drive up by the Logan Temple.  I thought nothing of it because we love to just drive up by the temple and get out and walk and look out over the valley and at the Wellsville Mountains (our favorite).

The Proposal:
     So as we are walking about the temple, he stops me at the west end of the Temple where you can look out over the valley and have an amazing view of the Wellsville Mountains.  It was drizzling so he grab my hand and took me over to one of the back doors of the temple where there is an arch over the door way! He begins to tell me how much he loves me and the adventures in life he wants to share with me and then gets on one knee.  I honestly couldn't believe it because I really didn't see it coming.  He knew just how to do it so that i was completely surprised!  It was just us and it was absolutely amazing.  My eyes about popped out of head when I saw this gorgeous ring!!!  ABSOLUTELY STUNNING!!! He did so great!!!  Talk about amazing...I love him so much!  He is so good to me!!  I'm so grateful that I get to spend all Eternity with a wonderful man like Ry!  I couldn't be any happier! :)  He is my love, my life, and my best friend. 

After: 
So after we get back in the car to head to Layton, Ry proceeds to tell this: "So this morning at work, do you remember that package that you signed for Abraham...well that was your ring..and when I came and brought you lunch, I secretly took the package with me when I left!"- Ryan.   How funny is that.  I signed for my own ring that morning and had no idea!!! He was definitely excited because he only waited 3 hours to give me the ring from when it arrived!!!!! I just love him so much!  He is such a cutie!





The Wedding: 
No dates have been set yet but we are shooting for late summer, so early August!!!  I'll keep yall updated!!!!
