The proposal.

Last night was without a doubt the best night of my life. It will be a night I will remember for the rest of my entire life because it was the night Blake proposed to me!

I left work yesterday joking with my co workers saying I better come back to work on Monday engaged or I might have to propose to Blake myself. I am so glad he beat me to it because it was absolutely perfect!

I thought for sure I had Blake figured out and was planning on him asking me on the 4th of July. Then the 4th came and went and he didn't ask me. I couldn't believe it. I was back to square one. Clueless.

Those that know me can probably image or remember how incredibly hard it was for me to be patient after that! It caused me so much anxiety not knowing when or where or how it was going to happen. I like to have things planned and know about everything. Surprises are not my favorite. Every single day the thought of if it was going to be "the day" would come to me. I even asked Blake a few times to just ask me right then and there to avoid all the anticipation but, he wouldn't budge. He had a plan and he was sticking to it.

That "plan"of his turned out to be completely and totally perfect. We we're sitting on the tail gate of his truck watching Muller Park fireworks in Bountiful when he jumped down and kneeled on the ground in front of me and asked me to marry him. He grabbed my hand and put my ring on my finger and all I could say is "are you serious? Is this for real?" when I realized what was happening I told him yes and we stood there in the street kissing and hugging and soaking in the moment.

Once the excitement settled down I realized Blake's sister Shanna had been hiding the entire time, taking pictures and capturing our special moment. I am so proud of Blake for making pictures apart of his plan Because now we have not only memories but photos of our special moment to remember forever. I love him and am so excited to start the rest of our lives together.
