Wonderful Evening!

Ok!  So this is the greatest news EVER!!!!!!!!!  It actually happened two days ago! But we are just now finding the time to write!  By the way, this is Bradley writing on Sterling's computer, as she makes wonderful wedding lists.  So.....  If you didn't get the big news from the last sentence, go look at it again, only closer!  Because, WE ARE ENGAGED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!  HOOAAAA!!!!!!!! Anyways, I am going to tell you all about it! So, on Friday I went to the ring store and picked up the ring. It is a beautiful solitaire marquis cut diamond in a cathedral setting.  Here is a picture!

After I went and picked up the ring, I went and
picked up the most wonderful girl in the world.  We then went and did baptisms for the dead in the Bountiful Utah Temple!

The temple was quite busy, but was still oh-so-very-wonderful!  When we got out of the temple, I took her for a walk around the temple grounds.  We stopped on the east side of the temple by the fountain.  We hugged and kissed a little bit before I decided that it was time...  So I then asked Sterling Bo how happy she was, and she said that she was "Blissfully Happy."  I then asked if I could make her even happier, and I knelt down and pulled the ring out of my pocket.  I then asked her if she would marry me, and she squealed like a mouse with a hand over her mouth. I thought that she was going to fall to the ground.  She then said yes, and I stood up and gave her a ginormous hug.  I was still holding the ring at this point in time, and I had to ask if I could possibly put the ring on her finger.  We then kept hugging and kissing and laughing for about another 15 or 20 minutes.  We decided that we should probably go tell our families, so the rest of the evening was spent driving around and calling our family and telling them all about our wonderful evening.  By Saturday night we had broken down and put it up on Facebook.  Our phones started going off like crazy and haven't really stopped since!  It has been the best two days of my entire life, and I am so so so very excited to be able to spend the rest of eternity with the love of my life by my side!  I love you Sterling Bo!

Well, after a crazy weekend of being chased by wild chinchillas and backpacking through the remote jungles of Kentucky (bwahahaha...), Bradley and I are about to embark on our ninth week of happily-ever-after (still not engaged, thank you!). Tonight was a first... an amazing, wonderful, incredible blow-your-mind first. I'm not sure all the details should be put out in the blogosphere, but I'm going to anyway.

Bradley and I went to a movie and dinner. Yes, that's right, eight weeks of dating and it's our first time setting foot inside one of those new-fangled moving pictures (together). It's amazing! You get color pictures AND sound! No more of this

stuff.

Okay, but seriously. It was so fun! We snuggled and watched the movie and I got all tensed up and was in total suspense, then when I let go of Bradley's hand it only took about two minutes for blood-flow to return. No, it was not a horror film. We saw "Unknown"... sooooooo good!

We then turned into those jerks who go into a fast-food place ten minutes before close. We ran in to Chick-fil-A, ordered delicious sandwiches, then returned to my house and ate them while watching the nightly news with my momma. Then we kissed and cuddled on the couch for a little bit, and I said goodbye to my wonderful Bradley at the door - where he promptly gave me the assignment to blog about tonight. I daresay it's his turn next time, seeing as how I've blogged the last three times. Eh hem!!!

(Love you, Snookums!!!)

how we met

Facebook. Yup, it's true. Bradley added me as a friend, I started chatting with him... next thing we knew, we were Facebook flirting and Bradley got my number. Now here we are, falling in love with each other more and more every day, and it's all thanks to Facebook.

Okay... it's also thanks to our singles ward. I sang and he spoke on the same Sunday. Which was why he actually added me on Facebook in the first place.

I'm head over heels for this man, can I just say that? He makes me feel invincible, amazing, and strong. Every girl deserves him, and I'm the lucky girl who gets him forever!!!

long drive just to pee your pants...

So today was fantastic! Bradley and I had a semi-unplanned day. I didn't have work or school, and Bradley only had to go into work for an hour. So he picked me up at 10:00, we went up to Weber State, and later ate lunch with my momma (she teaches up there, so it was pretty convenient). (Thanks for the Winger's, mom!)

We then decided what we would do for the rest of the day. We picked up Bradley's mom from work, went and picked out a ring, scanned and edited some ultrasound pictures for my friend/cousin's school project, met up with my friend, then headed off to group.

Hm? What's that? "What's this about a ring?!?" you say? Oh... well okay. We went to this cute little place called Aaron's Jewelry in Roy. (It's where Bradley has his watches looked at). They were sooooooo nice, and sat with us for a long time! We picked out a setting, talked about what styles I liked, and we picked out the center stone. It is sooooo pretty! I'm excited, Bradley was excited, it was fantastic. No purchase, and for good reason. Bradley hadn't talked to my dad yet!

So we're on our way to group... and we decide to fore-go group and go visit my dad. After a few hours, Bradley bravely asked my dad if he could talk to him. So what does my dad say? "Depends. You got a quarter?" then they laughed, and my dad got up and started doing stuff around the kitchen! I cleared my throat a few times, then finally I said "Okay, so are you two going to go talk or what?!"... so I stayed in the kitchen with Janet and Bradley went into my dad's office with him. Janet and I giggled and talked about how the conversation in the other room was going, meanwhile (Bradley told me this later, I love you honey!) Bradley about peed his pants when he asked my dad for my hand.

My dad said yes (of course!) and now all that's left is Bradley asking my momma... and that whole business of getting the ring. We're pretty open about this with each other, as you can probably tell...

Bradley, I love you. You are amazing and you make every moment worthwhile! I can't wait to spend my forever with you!

Picnic

Well being new to this whole blogging thing, I am not really sure what to do here...  But I wanted to share about my night last night!  It was quite enjoyable.  Sterling and I had a picnic in my living room by the fire in the fireplace. It was a snowy evening and we were supposed to go to family home evening with the singles ward.  With the bad weather and everything, we decided to stay home...  It was a way fun evening in which I beat Sterling in the game of backgammon twice, and I got beat twice as well... We had a quite enjoyable snowball fight with my mom and brother.  After coming in from the snowball fight we decided to make hot cocoa and again sit by the fire!  I only wish that everyday for forever could be that wonderful!

First post!

I just wanted to have something to show for the ten minutes spent setting up this blog... ta da!!!!
