I'M ENGAGED!!!!

For all of those who don't know, Larry boy proposed to me on new years eve:) He completely suprised me. I had no idea it was coming. I didn't know he got the ring or talked to my dad. He has been telling me lately that because of his apartment he now has to pay for and his cracked bumper, he wasn't getting a ring for a while because he couldn't afford it. He also kept bringing up the fact that he was scared to talk to my dad. So I definately thought that it wasn't going to happen anytime soon.


Well we were at a new years party at my family's house and his best friend Jake called and told him that he wanted us to meet the "new girl he is dating". We have been wondering about this new girl for a while now so I was really excited to meet her. So we drove to orem to meet them (on the way Larry still talking about not knowing how to ask my dad). Jake told us to meet him at this park. It was the park that me and Larry went to all the time during the summer when we first started dating. We got out and started walking around "looking for Jake." We walked by this pavillion and there was a guitar sitting there. I was like is that your guitar? Larry was like I don't know... he walked over to the guitar an unzipped it and said yeah it is my guitar. My first thought was that Jake was doing some prank on Larry because he loves his guitar and would freak if anything happened to it. Then Larry said, "I actually want to play you a song I wrote for you. I just wanted to come here because I didn't want to play it in front of everyone else." Me thinking he hasn't talked to my dad or bought a ring, I thought he was just doing a cute thing for me. So he played the song he wrote... It is the cutest song ever!!! it's incredible. He asked me how I liked it and told me he loved me... Then he got down on one knee, pulled out a BEAUTIFUL ring and asked me to marry him!!! I immediately say yes:)


When we started walking back to the car I asked him if he talked to my dad. He said he talked to him the day before and it went really well:) We called our moms. My mom didn't answer her phone so after I called 3 times with no answer I decided to call Jill and just ask to talk to my mom. So I finally got to tell her.


We then went back to the party at my house. I walked in and told everyone we were engaged. It was nice to have my aunt and her family, my grandparents and some other family members there so I could tell them all in person. Jill was snapping pictures as I told my aunt, cousins, and grandparents how it happened. It was a great night!!!


So that's how it happened. I couldn't believe how he suprised me. He did such a good job of leading me to believe it wouldn't happen for a while. It was so amazing that it was a suprise. I loved it and I am so excited that I am getting married! Larry is amazing!!! I am such a lucky girl to be getting married to the most incredible guy ever!
