Oh yeah...I kind of forgot to tell you....

We're engaged!!!



I am sure that most of you, if not all of you, already know this. But I felt like posting it anyway. Because I'm super excited about it!!! :)


OKAY. Storytime. Are you ready?

We went to San Francisco with our friends Nick and Carly. We did lots of fun sightseeing the first couple days we were there - we went to Alcatraz, the pier, Fisherman's Wharf, etc. Saturday we had planned to go to the Muir Woods, a redwood national park that is close by. Carly had originally told me that we were going to take pictures there - she and Nick wanted family pictures with Em and then they would take some shots of me and James.

So, naturally, we dressed nice that day...actually got up, showered, did my hair, etc. :) We got to the redwoods and they were absolutely gorgeous. Such magnificent trees. I pretty much had my viewfinder to my eye the entire trip into the woods (which, I later learned, gave James and Carly plenty of pep talk time).

On our way out, we stopped at the bridge over the river. Carly said, "I want a video of this...river..." Somehow I still had no idea what was going to happen. James and I sat down on the bridge and Nick took a few pictures (which they had been doing all trip, so it didn't seem unnatural). I was still completely clueless. James turned to me and said, "Let's have a chat." He said some wonderfully romantic, nice things that I will not say :) and then he said he had a question for me. Believe it or not, I still didn't realize what was happening until he physically got down on one knee and asked me to marry him.

Of course I said yes. And then I asked him if he was serious. I couldn't believe it!


(this is when I asked him if he was serious and he laughed at me. Hey, I was in shock!)

We are so excited to be getting married!! I can't tell you how much I love this man. :) We are so happy and anxious and excited and nervous and just delighted!!

Oh and we will be married on November 5, 2011, in the Bountiful, Utah temple.
