The BEST weekend so far!

So clearly if you read facebook you know I am engaged, if you don't you know now, I am engaged. For the record his name is Jack and I am so excited to be with him forever! Jack and I are from about the same place, neighboring towns. I have been eyeing him since I was 15. He played basketball in High School, and I have always thought he was pretty attractive and would pay particular attention to him on the court. 

We got engaged early Thanksgiving day morning. We had dinner with our families the night before, and believe you me, we all were curious what was going on. However, it was much better the next day. 
Jack came and got me early in the morning, and the fun thing about where I am from in Idaho, in the winter time it's always really foggy and beautiful. So lucky for me it was as though the world was just me and him at the time because you could only see so far infront of you blocking the view of everyone around us. He took me out to where we had our first kiss. If you need to review there is a great post about it in august. 
We stopped and Jack says "I think I saw a dead calf out here." so I hopped out and started to look around, actually thinking he did because I saw a black thing before. 
Here he said to me "wow the world looks so beautiful in white, you know you would look beautiful in white. I am going to have to ask him to clarify because I don't remember how the comment about the ring went but I eneded up calling him a turd and then he took the ring out and got on one knee. It was beautiful. I put the ring on, we took a quick picture and then we got in the truck because the turkey bowl was starting in like 10 min and he was playing and I wanted to go shower. And that is how it happened

Yay!! Congratulations!

I can only imagine how excited those girls at school will be. Hooray!

Right before Nate asked me to marry him, as he got down on one knee, I said, "If this is another fake proposal..."

Because he fake proposed to me before then.

Those are the best guys to marry. :)
