Engaged!

This time it is not a rumor. Believe it or not, I really, really am engaged! I couldn't be happier either! Tons of people have been getting on me about blogging about it.... so I guess I will. hahah I'm only a week late, don't hate on me! :)

For those of you who want the full experience... in details and all, read the whole thing!
For those of you who want it short and sweet and to the point... skip to the bottom. I'll summarize for you.

So two weeks ago I went to Arizona for a week! The whole time on the flight home I kept thinking "oh my goooodness, however am I going to be without Brian?! I will just mope, I won't do a darn thing but sit in my room and miss him!" WRONG! I spent so much time with my mama and sisters. It was so great! I loved it because I always get homesick for my family up here in Utah! I miss them a ton! So for a whole week I had my mind off of missing "my right hand" back in Utah. Until like day 5.. then I REALLY started to miss Brian. I wanted to go back to Utah.... It always seems like right when Brian and I are having so much fun then one of us has to go somewhere! Then I have separation anxiety! Okay, that's a lie. I don't have separation anxiety, but I do freak out when we're apart for a long time! (He does too, its not just me!) haha and one week is a LONG time. If you've ever had a boyfriend who is your best friend then you totally understand where I am coming from. Don't act like I am crazy! (I am crazy... in love! thanks Beyonce, for the right words!) Anyways, so a week went by and I was missing, missing, really MISSING Bri, if you could just get the full effect, I have to add all the extra words! I spent the day on Thursday with my Mama (ask anyone, I've called her mama forever! That's just my name for her.) It was so fun! She made all my missing go away for a short while, until I got home and packed all my stuff up! My dad took me to the airport! He really wanted to and I wasn't complaining because I love spending time with my Dad. Thursdays are our days, before I moved here to Utah. My dad and I would have date days on Thursday, I loved it! We became really close. I feel like I can talk to my parents about JUST about anything! They are the most amazing people I know. All of their kids just adore them, more like anyone who knows them does! It's the truth.....

Back to the mushy gushy love stuff.

So, I got to the airport.... the flights were full for almost the whole weekend, this was the only flight that looked even remotely good. If I didn't make this one, I was doomed to more MISSING til' Sunday! I got to the airport as soon as I could so that maybe that would help me out. It didn't. When I got through security and stood at the counter the man working told me the flight before mine was so full that it was a 90% chance I wouldn't get on. I was thinking "Theres still 10% I will though!!! Yayyyy!!" Immediately I called Brian and told him that I might not make the flight. He mumbled something, said something like "are you seriousss?! ahhh!! let me call you back" then he hung up. I said like three prayers! He called me back like 5 minutes later! Our conversation went something like this...

Me: Hello?
B: Did you say a prayer?!
Me: Yes! Did you?
B: Yeah! Like 10!
Me: Good good, well I will call you when I find anything out!
B: No, just wait on the phone...
Me: Alright, it may be a while...
B: That's okay
Me: Okay!
(silent for like 10 minutes, with a few random sentences)
Me: there goes another seat...
(Silent for 5 more)
Me: there goes 3 more seats...

This went on for a while. I promise you our phone time was thirty minutes long and thats about all that was said.
Finally, there was only two seats yet, of course the woman in front of me got the one seat. I was just waiting, "please be meee!" after all, there was 2 other people waiting with me for that ONE seat! I GOT IT!!!yeee haw. Wedged between an Asian gangster who slept on my shoulder and a very large and suer in charge woman in the very back row! Brian was so happy! I told him I would call him when I landed and got my luggage! I wouldn't be landing until 11pm. I knew he worked all day so he would be so tired so I would just walk to the passenger pick up and he'd pick me up!

After the LONGEST, hour and a half of my life.. I called Brian when I landed! ahhhh, finally in the same state! I texted him and said "I'll call you when I get my bags.." When I was coming down the escalator to the baggage claim, there he was! Ah man, then I missed him even more than I did before! We waited for my luggage and then got it in the car and were on our way. I forgot to add this earlier, but Brian told me he really wanted to do something fun the night I got back to I better drink some caffeine. I found out that energy drinks make me sick! So driving home Brian kept saying I hope you are awake and pumped and stuff like that. I felt so sick, I told him I wish I was but I was so tired and felt sick to my stomach! He was bummed and said "I have a surprise for you when we get home though!!" Immediately I thought "RING!" hahah I was super exited then! Then when we got there, I saw his sister Aubree's car. I knew she had to be something to do with this engagement. I was getting engaged! Aubree is totally creative and she always knocks sense that I couldn't, into Brian. So I totally think I'm gonna get engaged. Until I go in side and Brians mom, Dee Dee, and Aubree in the kitchen! No excited or "Brian's getting engaged!" looks on there faces! Brian showed me the surprise... a tandem (double seater) beach cruiser! I was not getting engaged. If you know Brian, you know he would be super excited about that! It would be the best surprise ever to him! and it was a good one! Not what I was expecting! but good! I felt sick and tired so I wasn't in the mood to go! but Brian really wanted to so I did!

When Brian and I first started dating we went on beach cruise rides in Arizona! Alot! and a lot of the times when we visited again! Also, when I was living in Provo we did too! So this was cute that he would want to go on a bike ride! we hadn't in forever! So we rode around the blvd. took some pictures! it was fun! Then I was getting so tired so we didn't get to ride all the way to the temple like we'd planned! Oh well, I got the bike ride experience. We rode back to the house and Brian suggested we lay on a blanket in his backyard! I was tired so laying down sounded good! So we went inside and got the blankets then went and layed in the backyard. Brian laid the blankets right under the trees then ran inside to "charge his phone." which was a bit fishy because... why would he need to do that? Anyways, when he came back out he laid next to me and I was explaining to him that we should move the blankets back a little because birds were all in the trees and the could poop on us! He didn't budge. Then he started to tell me how much he loved me, all the cute, mushy stuff! (this spot in his backyard was another spot we laid before. particularly, the first time we REALLY talked about getting married.) So Brian told me he had ANOTHER surprise for me! He leaned over and pushed a button and lights lit up everywhere. The trees above us! the branches dangling over us. It was so stinkin cute! Then Brian, again, told me even more of the mushy stuff then asked me to marry him! Ah man, even better than I dreamed it when I was in elementary, junior high, and a couple weeks ago! It was the most perfect thing ever!

also Aubree was hiding taking pictures, Victoria (Brian's other sister), and Dee Dee were both watching too!

Of course I said yes, and now we are engaged to be married! November 14th in the Mesa Arizona Temple!
Since a week ago I have been homeless.... we'll save that for another blog. and I've been staying with the wrights. I'm like a mosquito in their home! hahah i feel so annoying! But anyways, I have been spending a lot of time with Dee Dee and Aubree and preparing and planning for our wedding! It's been so much fun! Brian actually loves the planning part too! You have to know Brian. He's so goofy! I love him!

Anyways, I am engaged! I couldn't be more happy! So in love, can't wait for eternity!
