we're engaged!!

holy. cow.
wayyy too busy to blog!
i realize i should have posted our proposal story a week and a half ago. we've just been so busy planning this wedding!!
we've decided on
JUNE 8, 2013
in the Salt Lake Temple.
and we couldn't be happier!!
being engaged has been so so much fun and so exciting.

april 20, 2013
the proposal.
almost 3 years ago, my dallin pulled me aside to 'our spot' at my great grandparent's farm in Idaho, got on one knee with a promise ring, and asked me to wait for him on his mission.
on april 20, we drove back out there for a delicious picnic, and took a walk back to our spot in the corner of a field. he said lots of beautiful things, and talked about how important family is to us. then he got down on one knee and asked me to marry him. with the most gorgeous ring. it was so perfect and happy!!

it was so freezing cold that we ate in the car :)

in love with this ring!! :)

we have been having so much fun planning like crazy!!
it was so fun to get all registered :)

no pictures, but we got my wedding dress already!! it was the first one i tried on :) and it was the one that my bestie sissy maid of honor tayler pulled for me!! pure magic :) it wasnt the dress i was expecting to love. but i feel beautiful and most of all bride-y in it!!

today we got our engagements done!! we're so excited to see them :)

and by the way, 37 days until our wedding!!

catching up!

i haven't blogged in waaayyy too long. i'm just so busy! especially now that my dallin is  home.
everything is so perfect and we are so happy.
first of all, i didn't even blog about my bestie's wedding!!
sooo sorry bestie.
it was absolutely gorgeous. we had a sleepover the night before yay! and we got up early the next day to get ready! i brought vanillabeanfrappeswithcaramelswirls and did her hair. she looked amahzing.
such an exciting jittery morning!
the temple was beautiful and it was so wonderful to see my best friend and here eternal companion come out of the temple all sealed and gorgeous! the snow held off until the drive home, so the pictures will be beautiful!
we had a delicious luncheon at the maddox with way too much food, and then a 10 minute nap before the reception! which was you guessed it, GORGEOUS. decorations were perfect her hair dress makeup were perfect but mostly tayler and gavin were glowing with happiness. and i couldn't ask for anything more for my sister.

brigham city temple :)

getting ready before!

last week we went to my good friend's boyfriend's baptism. probably the sweetest baptisms i have ever been to! yay for tori and herald!

i've been dear eldering shenay while she's still in the mtc, and i got a letter from her! in a pretty pink envelope with a sparkly sticker no less :) she is doing amazing. so excited and happy and strong! she was definitely meant for this. i am so proud of her!

It has been so much fun to have dallin home! i love catching up on things we've missed doing together:

we love giving blood together! so it was fun to get to do that last week :) and i even pumped it a little faster than him :) i finally won!

after being in hair school for over a year now, he is finally here to let me cut his hair! and it looks good :) 

i've missed listening to him play the piano. he is an absolutely brilliant pianist. i can sit there for hours listening to him! i like to sit next to him and turn the page, but sometimes the songs get intense or i just get bored of sitting, so i go lay underneath the piano to listen. it is so loud and intense and pretty romantic. i just lay there with my eyes closed listen.

we get to go to church together! i love sundays :)

and we've started temple prep! well i have but he lets me drag him along. amazing. i learn as much from him as i do from the teachers :)

he made me this delicious valentines dinner :)

happy happy happy :)
