Tyler and I are excited to announce our engagement! Throughout the years, we have had so many fun adventures together and this promises to be the best yet. Tyler did a good job of playing it cool and keeping the proposal a surprise, I thought for sure I would be able to guess ahead of time.
The proposal happened at our house on Christmas morning. We settled into the living room to open our gifts. I let Tyler open his big gift the night before and he had commented that the gift he bought me doesn't measure up to what I got him. Nice act, Tyler!
So, I opened the gift that he had wrapped under the tree for me: a car gadget called an "automatic" which hooks up to an iPhone app. How exciting, huh? He excitedly told me all of the features--I can track my gas mileage, reset my check engine light, and do all sorts of wonderful things. I couldn't stop laughing at how excited he was--I'm pretty sure I was crying I was laughing so hard.
Then, he reaches under the couch, pulls out a small box and says "Is this what you were looking for?!" I got so excited, though I for some reason thought he was joking at first. And, I'm sure you imagine, I said YES :)
He gave me a temporary ring which is simple and beautiful. We went ring shopping the day after and found the perfect permanent ring which I can't wait to be finished. We looked at so many rings and I kept coming back to this one. Here it is!
I am sure this blog will be filled with lots of stories in the near future.
