Engagement!

IT'S OFFICIAL!!

I'm so excited to spend the rest of my life with my best friend.

Mike asked me to marry him this last weekend while we were in San Diego.  It was totally unexpected.  We had to drop off our car in LA to be shipped to Hawaii - it takes a month to get there!!  So, we decided to road trip it up and ship the car this past weekend.

We drove down on Thursday all the way to LA, arriving in the evening.  Just enough time to have some dinner and a nice relaxing soak in the hot tub.  It felt SO nice outside and we enjoyed winding down from a LONG day of driving.

Friday we initially planned to drop the car off at the docks, then go to Disneyland.  The last time I have been was when I was like ... five ?  Anyway, I was super excited to go - but when we woke up it was pouring rain!! Bummer... So, after driving through the ghetto of Compton & successfully turning in the car, Mike asked me what I wanted to do for the rest of the afternoon.

I told him that the San Diego temple was my favorite, and I'd love to go see it.  So.. We drove down to San Diego, and I took the BEST nap on the way. :)  When we got there the rain stopped for about 15 minutes... Literally just enough time for my handsome man to execute his plan!

While I was turned around taking this picture -

Mike got down on one knee.  I took a minute just soaking in the beauty of this temple, and the thought crossed my mind to turn around and tell him - "We should just get married in HERE and have our families fly out and meet us halfway..."  I turned around and started to say this, and there he was with the ring -  I stared blankly for about 15 seconds after he asked me.  super surprised.

He gave me the ring and then gave me a huge hug, and of course I started crying.  I told him how much I loved the ring and how perfect everything was - not even realizing I hadn't answered.  So he looks at me and says.. "Uhhhh... are you going to answer me?"

Of course.. I said YES!  I really can't think of a time in my life I have been happier.. so far. :)

  

After Mike proposed, we went and saw a beautiful beach spot... It was really muddy but still so pretty!

Sorry he's hott... Not a lot he can do about it.. :)

After that we went to a ritzy shopping district in San Diego and walked around some shops and went to another little beachy place - this one had some seals flopping around.  Seals are ugly.  But the baby ones were kinda cute.  Just kidding, I changed my mind again.  Still ugly.

For our engagement dinner we ate at a fancy smanshy restauraunt called "Forever Fondue."

delish!

It was PERFECT.  I love Mike & I can't wait to spend the rest of my life with him!!!
