The Ring!

Sorry I haven't posted in so long it's been kind of crazy. But Aubrey (my soon to be sister-in-law) reminded me today that I have never posted about my engagement ring so here it is! I got the ring last Saturday and it is SO beautiful. I have received so many compliments about how unique it is and that is exactly what I wanted to here. I wanted something that not everyone else had. Bud and I picked it out in CA when we were there but I told him he wasn't allowed to buy it unless it was a good trade for the other ring he had. He flew to CA last Saturday and when he came back he told me he wasn't able to get the ring because it was more than the trade but that he picked out something he knew I would love and that it would be ready in a couple of weeks. I was fine with that, I just wanted to stop wearing the Wal-Mart one. ;) Well he was so excited that he couldn't wait until the next day so later that day when he came over to the place I was house sitting he knocked on the door and when I opened it he was outside on one knee with the ring and asked me if I would marry him. I of course said yes and gave him a huge hug and a kiss and when I realized it was the ring we had picked out I couldn't believe it. It was more beautiful than I remembered. I swear I couldn't stop smiling all day. I can't believe how much it sparkles! I still can't believe that I am getting married and that I have been so lucky to have found someone so incredibly wonderful. I fall more in love with him everyday. Mushy I know but true. ;)

This is Bud's finger not mine :)

Engaged

I'm engaged!! I know that most of you already know but I've been so busy the last couple of weeks I haven't been able to blog about it. I'm SO excited and feel like the luckiest girl in the world. I am marrying one of the sweetest men I have ever met. His name is David Packard but everyone has called him Bud since he was a little kid. He is from Carlsbad, CA just outside of San Diego. He is number four of 10 children and has a wonderful family. We originally met because he was assigned to be my home teacher last July but we didn't really get to know each other until we both started hanging out with a mutual friend of ours Karli sometime in August. I started to like him sometime in October and I think he became interested sometime in November. We drove home to CA for Christmas together and had a really good time and finally went on our first date at the end of January. He went on a date with one of our other friends the week after that and then took me out again the next week. We've been inseprable ever since.

We took a trip to CA the weekend of May 17th to visit our families and so he could speak at his nephews baptism. We went to Magic Mountain, did a session at the San Diego Temple, walked around La Jolla Cove and just hung out with family. It was SO much fun. Saturday was of course the best because it was that night that he asked me to marry him. It wasn't a formal "get down on one knee" proposal. We were just talking about how much fun we had been having and how close we'd become in such a short time. He then told me that he loved me and that he knew without a doubt that I was the person he wanted to spend the rest of his life with. I of course started crying and told him that I felt the same way. I told him I'd never been happier in my life and would be honored to be his wife. Ok...it's kind of mushy I know but everyone has been asking me for details so there you go. :)

We are being sealed in the San Diego Temple on August 16, 2008 at 3:00 pm and will have a reception in Carlsbad, CA that evening from 6:00 - 8:00 pm. Love to see you all there if you can make it!

My Buddy!
