Okay, Okay, Okay!






















So I know that I am officially the worst blogger in the world. I have this issue where I feel like things need to be done in an order so I have been postponing blogging until I could get all my pictures on my flash drive to be able to put them on my crappy computer that won't read cd's or memory cards. However it has taken forever and I have had a major event happen in the meantime so I will just blog about that first.
This blog has been delayed because I have been trying to take the christmas background and put up a cute new one but my computer was giving me guff. (Like I mentioned earlier I need to do things in a certain order). Getting to the point of this blog.
IM ENGAGED!
I got engaged on February 14th. I know Valentines Day is so cliche but I think that is why Mitch did it. My sister teased me saying that he was going to do it at Temple Square or a Jazz game because I am such a brat about where and when the proposal happens. Thankfully he did it the perfect way, in the privacy of my apartment. We had gone out to breakfast while he enlisted the help of his little brother to decorate my apartment. When we got back there was little red and white candles all over my living room, rose petals on the floor, and bunches of balloons all over the perimeter of my living room. At first I had no idea what was going on, I thought it was just a valentines day surprise. I decided that I needed to document how cute he was so I started taking pictures. There was a bunch of balloons tied to some flowers on my coffee table that said to "pop each balloon 1-5 there is a special message for you inside. They all just said something cute and cheesy in true Mitch fashion. The last one said "do you have a question for me". Well I had no idea what was going on so I said "I don't know, I don't think so". He then said, "I thought you would want to know how much time we would spend together." And then in one very fluid movement he pulled the box out of his pocket, opened it, and got down on one knee and proposed. It was perfect, simple, sweet and private. ( Well except Little Brother was in my bedroom).

I can HEAR you laugh while I read this wonderful, about time, blog. Congratulations finally, and when I say Congrats I mean on the ring not on finally, finally blogging. Get whacky once in a while and do things out of order. How do you think a married woman gets anything done??? Love you both, little puppets!

Yeah poor guy he was acting nervous when we got to my house. I was too busy taking pictures to notice. He started to tear up when I popped the last balloon. I was so confused.
