Engaged

Engaged! Sooner than expected, but not unexpected.

After we got a  late start, stopped by my mothers work, and realized we only had four dollars and eighty-something cents (it costs $5) we made it to huntington reservoir. It was a beautiful day and since school was still in and it isn't quite warm enough for water activities we practically had the whole place to ourselves. We packed a picnic and were both pretty hungry so we ate first. We then made our way to the freezing cold water- and we splashed around for a bit. Well maybe not splashed, more like waded ankle deep and talked about how cold the water was. When we got back to the picnic blanket we decided to read out patriarchal blessings to each other. This was a suggestion from my mother (since we had already decided to get married). It was a wonderful experience. After we finished reading his he pulled the ring box from his pocket, told me he loved me, and said "would you be my eternal companion?" My response? (almost talking right over what he was trying to say) "I bet the ring isn't even in there, you're just fooling me." But it was in there and I was so excited. So of course I said yes. After we only had one small little kiss (because my mom will probably read this) we decided to take some adorably cheesy scrabble pictures- even though we didn't have time to actually play scrabble.  What a lovely and wonderful day!!

A couple explanations: 
I thought he was fooling me because I knew he had the ring and I knew he was going to propose on our picnic. We had previously joked about him faux proposing with an empty box. 
So, yes, I did know this was going to happen. Though we already had the ring I wanted to tell/talk to a couple more people before we were officially engaged. But once we picked up the ring and I tried it on... I decided he could propose to me whenever. :)
