Engaged!



My birthday is Oct 17 and now is the anniversary of my engagement to my best friend! Chris took me to dinner at the Roof; we had decided on the Garden the day before, but apparently he had reservations there since September and I just fell into his little plan when I suggested the Garden. We had a table in the very back corner right in front of the Salt Lake Temple. It was gorgeous. He gave me the perfume Aquadigio which I loved and thought it was my birthday present. I was pleased with it, but he had more up his sleeve.
The Roof is a buffet style formal restaurant and he kept making me go up and eat over and over. After the 4th time I gave in and said no more. He asked the waiter to bring out the check and the waiter also brought out a ring box. Needless to say I was very surprised and sat up in my chair quickly. After staring at him and the box back and forth for about 30 seconds, I started to reach for it. He stopped me and took me hand, looked me in the eye, told me he loved me, that I was his best friend, and other phrases. He then asked me to marry him. I said yes of course and was so excited. He kinda teared up a little bit and I really tried, but I was too excited. We are planning on getting married May 5, 2012 in the Saint George Temple. I am so excited and CANNOT wait to be with my best friend forever!! Is it May yet? :)

My gorgeous ring!
(He custom designed the
whole thing. I had no part
in picking it out. How good is he!)
