He Said Of Course

So. I've been dating this boy named Sammy for quite some time. And we've been making plans for quite some time. And we've been praying for quite some time. And I even tried on wedding dresses. Well, I got tired of waiting, so I decided to propose to Sammy.

First, I've been googling how to propose to your boyfriend for quite some time, just curious if I was crazy or if other ladies do this as well. It turns out they do! And in Ireland woman propose to their men on leap day. Since there isn't another leap day coming around for quite some time, I decided to just do it. The plan came together very quickly. I wrote a little speech and decided that I was going to put the ring in a donut. The only problem was, I didn't have a car. So my mom so very nicely drove me around to all the different places.
But we had to get some dinner first. We went to the ever so healthy McDonalds and ordered up some grub. They told us to pull forward and wait. Five minutes passed. Then ten. Nothing happened. So I went inside and told them we didn't get our food. They'd accidentally given it to another car. So we waited some more. And some more. They brought us the wrong food. We waited some more. Then finally I went inside again as the man came out the door. It was quite the wait.

While we were waiting, I texted Sammy's mom and asked her for permission to marry him. Out of everyone, she's been showing the most resistance towards us getting married. THAT was scary. She was really confused and I got a whole lot of !!!!'s in her messages, but she said that this was between me and Sammy. And that isn't the guy supposed to propose? I said yeah, but I couldn't wait any longer. (Plus, it's 2013. And when have I ever done things the right way?)

Next we picked up the ring. I didn't want to get Sammy his official official wedding ring yet, so I got him a stand in. We found one that looked just like this ring I've had for years in his size so that was exciting! Then, we headed to Krispy Kreme for the donut. Then I placed said ring in said donut.
The drive to Sammy's work was the worst! I had the nerves so bad. When we finally got out of the car, I felt like I was going to throw up. I literally felt my food coming up. I was so scared. I have a whole lot of respect out there for the men of the world who ask women to marry them. You go guys! But then I walked into the store, my mom started to record, and I read him my speech, got down on my knees and asked him.

He said of course. : )

We were both so giggly afterwards, it was so exciting. All of his coworkers were so excited for him which was great to see. It's a really exciting moment! I proposed! He said yes! We're getting married! I can't wait! I'm so happy right now : )

Say Yes?

Well. Today I went dress shopping. And it was a really fun experience! I went a few weeks ago, and that wasn't as fun. I almost fainted because everything was so tight! And I looked like a little girl playing dress up. This time though, I felt sophisticated, it was a much better experience, and I may have found THE dress. I know it's one of these ones, but at the store I thought I was going to get one dress. But as I got home and looked through the pictures again, I think another one will work better and is really THE one. I'm going to sit on it though.  I thought it'd be fun to put the pictures up here and let you all see! Tell me which dress is your favorite! If there's two pictures together, it's the front and back.  How was dress shopping for you?  I like the lace and buttons on this dress     Love the top and flowyness of this dress. Really love the neck, top, and ruching on this dress. Not sure about the train though. This...

Book of Mormon Musical?

Well, it's here in Denver. Kind of hard not to notice it with all the signs. The Book of Mormon Musical. I have very mixed feeling about this. I know that in the grand scheme of the universe, this musical shouldn't bother me so much. But it really, really does. The Book of Mormon is something very near and dear to my heart. And I know that people make fun of the LDS church on an hourly basis. I've heard all the jokes. Not a big deal. Plus, I'm blonde. I can take a joke. But this musical really disturbs me. I listened to the songs when they were released, thinking oh, I'm gonna be one of those cool people who fights for this play. But then I really started listening to the words. And they bothered me. A lot. Saying that missionaries who are out in the field make up things on the spot, like having sex with frogs will get rid of aids, it bugged me. I don't even want to talk about some of the other songs. I heard them and felt, just not right. I was comforted by t...

I'm not going to waste time talking about why I have a blog or how this is my first new blog post, because I like to have faith in the human race and the fact that they can read and can interpret these things on there own. I mean, there aren't any posts under this one so obviously this is my first new post. And having a blog is not a mandatory thing to live so one could hypothetically conclude that this is for fun. That is hypothetically speaking of course. I just used 89 words explaining why I didn't need to explain something. I hope I counted that right. Anyways.  Three years ago today on a rainy day I remember being in a basement with a bunch of little people and adults for a scout thing. And I remember them talking about how a certain friend of mine was going to be a senior and how that's so crazy. I was just going to be a freshman at the time and thought I was the coolest thing since duct tape. (Sorry sliced bread, duct tape is waay cooler.) Now that friend is get...
