OKAY.

Gather around the campfire. Its story time!

I knew we were getting married. I knew about the ring. I knew.. I knew.. What I didnt know was when and how. The two most important out of all of these! He was acting weird about yesterday. Just little things. Like he wanted to leave for SLC as early as possible. Why? Jared didnt fly in til 1140 p.m. (We were going to SLC to pick up Jared) I figured he had the ring. I KNEW I wanted it. Just read yesterdays post. Plus I just knew. I KNEW! ;) I was telling Janie all day yesterday I felt like it was time! Only little did I know.. she actually knew it was time.

Well long story shorter but still long..

We left for SLC late because Tylers flight was also later then thought. It was a fine ride. I wasnt sure what was gonna on in his head. He had had a hard day so he was venting a little. Not a good sign for what I wanted. We stopped and had dinner in Ogden. Even though he thinks I hated it.. I DIDNT! I was jsut so excited to be with him. period. We got to SLC about 10. By this point in time I figured I was feeling wrong and we werent getting engaged. There was still this one problem.. He was still acting weird. So now I start to freak out that I had done something to irrate him. I mean I wouldnt be surprised at all. He was so concentrated on being weird he even tried to wound PEG. Luckily for his lifes sake PEG is WonderWoman and can handle stupid drivers! ;) We ended up at temple square. Now it was my turn to be weird. Only I kinda wasnt being weird I was just pondering. I experience so many emontions when Im on temple square. Its such a humbling place. To think of the lives that went in to build this temple but most importantly what a beautiful GREAT gift it is. So I guess I was acting kinda weird. (ill work on that :) It was really nice to sit there with the love of my life and think about our lives together and what the Lord has in store for us! While we were there I asked when he was going to ask me to marry him?? HAHA I know.. This is so me though. I dont beat around the bush! Well he told me to "hold my horses". ;) So now Im thinking Im never gonna be able to tell anyone about us! I just wanted to tell people SO bad! Well we went and got Jared and headed home. I ended up driving the last little bit while he slept. So we had our "top secret" night in SLC and he was sleeping on the way home. Tonight was not the night. We dropped Jared off and went home. I had a hard time getting the door open and complaining about how bad I had to pee when the door opens and I see the most romantic thing... candles and roses EVERYWHERE! I stood there in the doorway. In total shock. In total amazement. In complete love. The roses lead to my bed where sat the ring surrounded by the words written in rose pedals.... WILL YOU MARRY ME By this point in time I am shaking. Tearing up. Trying to wrap my head around it. He is talking to me. I can hear him and my heart is understanding what he is saying but I wouldnt be able to repeat it to you now. He gets down on his knee and asks me to marry him. I have never felt such pure happiness in my life. Not only is it something I want and am feeling that and his too but I can feel Gods love for us. How happy he is for us. How he wants us together forever as much as we do.

When I look down at my hand I still get chills. I cant believe someone so wonderful would want to spend the rest of forever with me. Wants to share every moment of our lives together. BIG and little. I am so grateful for him. For what he has done to my life. For the kind of person he is and the kind of person he helps me be. I know we are gonna not be "peachy" 24/7 but I do know there is no one else I would want to endure to the end with. He is my it. He is my love. He is my life. I wish there were words enough to share with you how I really feel but this will have to do.

I was in the same room as it last night! It being the ring!

The perfect ring!

Its not so much that I want the ring.. well I DO.. its more I want to be his. Always and forever. Now I know we are already forever. I mean come on.. we have a FAMILY PLAN! How much more forever can you get?! ;) But really I want him to actually ask me to marry him. I want to know he wants me and to be reminded everytime I look at my hand and most of all I want everyone else to know..

I am taken.

I am happy.

I am loved.

and most of all that..

I love him.

Yesterday I played sidekick to my Superman. We worked sizzler manager and even tried to reenact the Titanic. Ok not really. But we had to count the meat in the freezer and even my toes were cold by the time we got out of there. The good news is not only did I get to see my love for 2 extras hours that day.. but I beat my high scores on this stupid planes game on my phone!! :) ha That night they had a party at sizzler and I had been trying to get ahold of Janie and she wasnt anwsering my calls or txts and I was scared she was dead. This of course was stupid (see a pattern here?) but I was worried. I was gonna just go by myself so Tyler could go to his party. He came with me. (We can add this to his Superman tally!) About a min after we left she called.. yeah. SORRY BABE! Really tho it all worked out for which I think will go on my top 10 favorite moments with Tyler. All we did too was get Wendys and sit on the floor and eat. He did homework. I played planes. Basically nothing. But I felt so close to him though. When I looked at him I thought I hadnt seen anything so amazing in my whole life. I could stare at him forever and it would never get old. That tingling feeling of love I get will never go away. Or the pride I feel to know his is mine. I am his. My spirit just shoots up and is like DONT WAKE UP. The best part is... I dont have to wake up! For some stupid reason that I dont understand the Lord blessed ME with him.. yeah ME! But I sure am grateful. Last night was just filled with love. No huge events or lavish whatevers.

Just me and him.

Our family.

Together.

Forever.

My Superman

One of my cousins today commented on a picture I have of us on fb. In the comment she mentioned how Tyler was my superman. I TOTALLY agree! He flies, hes gorgeous, has super powers, hates those who do evil against me ;), would give his everything for my happiness, he loves those he serves, yada yada (all those other superhero type things), and most of all he "saves" my life everyday!

Last night I was at Tyler's apt when he came home. Which is another "awe, we are gonna be a family" moment. When I heard him and turned around to look at him he had the biggest grin on his face. :) He just looked at me grinning for the rest of the night there. I can't wait til we get to come home to each other! SMILING! :)

Another happy day.

We (Tyler and I) are like a real family!!

Today we got a new phone for me and made a family plan out of it.

Now, this may sound like a nothing thing.. but it was extremely exciting to me! Its just makes it seem that much more real. We really are gonna be a real family. :)

Today was a good day.

..

Popcorn?

I know right.

Believe me it makes sense in my head.

The quote about is my all time favorite! When I think about it I think of stringing popcorn on thread for the christmas tree. I have very few memories from when I lived in New Zealand and this is one of them.

I plan on sharing my moments that make up the popcorn on my string.

:)
