So I am sad to say that it has taken me basically an entire month to actually write about the engagement, but I am doing it! That is always an accomplishment! Ha!
So Tyler proposed! We are getting married on November 21st in Logan, UT. We are both so excited and to be honest, I just wish we could get married tomorrow so I can finally be known as Arianne Despain! :) Everyone has been asking though, so here is the official engagement story.
For a pleasant surprise, Tyler had gotten off work early Thursday night and came and picked me up. He told me that we were going for a drive. We go for drives a ton, so I didn't really think it was anything out of the ordinary. He took me up to his neighborhood hill that he grew up on. We had been up there quite a bit to look at the view and talk things through when we were both stressed out. Tyler pulled up to our normal spot and just told me to walk ahead because he had to fix something on the car. I went ahead and started walking out of the car when all of a sudden our song came on ("Storm" by Lifehouse). I looked back thinking he was just being cute and romantic (he does that a lot ;). He came up to me and asked me to dance. Honestly, I just felt happy. I still didn't think anything was happening, but I can't begin to explain the feeling that started to come over me. It was like subconsciously I knew that this was it, and it was already making me the happiest I had ever been. All of a sudden he stopped dancing, got down on one knee and ripped out a ring box. AH!!! This was it! I couldn't believe he was proposing! Ha! I started balling (of course) and so was he (even though he may not want to admit that) and it was aboslutely perfect! Of course I said yes and the rest is just the rest... ;)
Needless to say, I am the happiest girl in the whole world and I absolutely cannot wait to spend the rest of my life with this amazing man! Life is absolutely amazing!
