Getting engaged...


Can i Just say I have the best husband in the world. When i tell how we got engaged everyone guy in our ward goes up to Brandon and says man you gotta knock it down a couple so we look good :) Yes i will say that at least to me i have the most romantic engagement story ever. So During the summer I was still in rexburg Brandon was doing his internship in Calgary. We were away from each other and it was awful- despite the time i flew to calgary and suprised him he he eh- Thank heavens for instant messenger. We both hate the phone funny eh..anyways( dont worry we still called each other) I had a break during the summer semesters -back when they still did that at byu-i and i asked Brandon if he was going to come to idaho to visit me over the break- he said that it sounded like fun but he downplayed it and i was all worried he wasnt excited to see me. Then a couple days before he was supposed to come down he gets on im and says get your stuff packed cause were going to california! Hed bought me a plane ticket to go to california. My old roomates Cori and Emily are from Redlands and we planned on staying with them when we got there. Brandon got to idaho and we literally jumped in each others arms-he came during a huge rainstorm- one that filled the gutters on the slope of colonial house- ill always remember it caus ei was worried about him getting to my apt safe and sound. We packed our bags and I can't remember if we left in the morning or that night- we drove to utah to my parents house and spent the night then the next day my dad took us to tha airport in slc. We flew to vegas had a layover there(once again thank heavens for the dvd player)then flew into ontario airport. We rented a car-gotta love joels connections with the avis dude. And Brandon was thrilled when the lady said wow your getting a great deal on this! From there we drove to redlands to Cori's house. It was so fun to see all my dear friends. I seriously think i was supposed to be born in redlands cause we have tons of friends from there..anywyas cori had just had surgery so she was on the couch and emm was sitting on the couch eating a popcycle. We talked for a while and i had to go to the bathroom and while i was gone brandon asked cori and emm if his special package arrived- aka he shipped the ring to california so i wouldnt find it in his bag. Cori and emm didnt know it was a ring- so they were excited- brandon hadnt even seen the ring yet cause he purchased it from canada at a store in idaho falls. It was the first time hed gotten to see the ring too. That night anisha(sachin-brandons roomates twin sister) emm brandon and i drove to universal city walk- kind've like downtown disney and just spent the night there having fun eating dinner. The next day we were planning on going to disneyland -and if any of you know me and how much i love disneyland- I basically coudnt sleep the whole night- brandon for another reason... to be continued
