Wedding Plans!

So, I'm being a little nuts about the wedding plans. Only in the sense that I'm just about done and have been engaged for about 12 days now. :) I'm very happy that I'll be able to relax the next couple months though. For friends and family who haven't already heard or received a phone call from us. The wedding is February 12th. I'll keep everyone posted as things progress. :D

I'm getting married!!!

Jake and I have been dating for almost a year and a half. Last night he took me out for sushi. After a short walk around the Riverwoods in Provo, we stopped on a bridge to decide what we were going to do for the rest of the night. Previous to this we had talked about marriage and I had been waiting for Jake to ask my Dad. I wasn't expecting him to do this for at least another month. Little did I know he had already asked my Dad the Tuesday before. After standing on the little bridge for a while talking about ideas for the evening, I gave him a hug and told him I loved him. "Enough to marry me?" he asked. He then pulled out a diamond necklace and asked me to marry him. After alot of jumping around, smiling, squealing and one "are you serious?!" I finally said "YES!!!"
We got back in the car and headed up to my parents. On the way I called my brother and sister-in-law in Philadelphia to tell them the news. When we got to my parents house I found out that My mom, Dad, and Ryan already knew! Jake wanted to make sure that I got exactly the ring I wanted, thats why the diamond necklace. So Jake and I went ring shopping today and picked out the wedding bands for the engagement ring. There are still some details that need to be worked out on the engagement ring. We haven't set a date yet but are thinking sometime in the Spring. I don't think I've ever been so happy in my life. He's an amazing man and I couldn't ask for a better person to spend the rest of my life with! :)
