Sorry guys, this is more for me then you all... But if you want you can read haha... I CANNOT believe it, I'm really engaged, 7 years later :) I'm so excited!!
The wedding is going to be June 11, 2011 (6/11/11)
So... Kenny decided to take me on a picnic. I woke up and was a little grouchy, cuz I had a headache, but we went anyways. The drive was probably 30 to 45 minutes. Our final destination was a little ways past the Sandia Ski Resort. We stopped and began to walk down to the "spot". A little ways down, Kenny had to stop because he couldn't walk, at all. He couldn't move his foot at all. (He had torn some ligaments in it and wasn't wearing his boot). I told him where we were was perfect and we had a good view. He, being as stubborn as he is, said no the spot is just like 50 feet further. I told him I would carry him, but he wouldn't let me do that either. He let me carry the blanket and the food but that was it. He literally drug his foot the rest of the way. We sat the food down and he walked me a little further to show me a heart he had made out of pieces of rocks (when he came up to find a good picnic spot a couple weeks ago). We then sat down on the blanket we had layed down on a big rock. He made me a sandwich (after spilling the brown mustard everywhere because he forgot we had changed elevation =) He drank a sierra nevada and we ate our sandwiches. We had some sour cream and onion chips and some chocolate covered waffers :) Of course I made him take a million pictures with me from every angle lol :) He being the baseball finatic he is, had to thrown some rocks (even with his hurt foot). He had to make sure he could hit the rocks he had made into a heart (which of course he did). Then he had to thrown some rocks at some trees right in front of us, "more power", "more power" throwing it harder and harder, missing everytime... then he barely tosses it and nails the middle of the tree. Just for the record I hit the middle of the tree left-handed my first try ;) He then had to go find himself a walking stick (even though I didn't want him walking around) And of course he just had to use his walking stick as a baseball bat a few times (yes my little baseball junkie)... We then decided to head back up to the car. This time he only let me carry the blanket, and gimpy said "try to keep up haha" but I did get some good pictures of him walking up the mountain ow ow :) He told me he had a surprise for me at the car and when we got to the car I had to close my eyes. I was thinking he had gotten me a necklace because my butterfly one had broken. So we walked to the bathrooms first then I sat in the passenger seat. He made me take off my sunglasses so he could make sure my eyes were close. I closed my eyes and could hear him switching the CDs. The music came on and it was a guitar playing, acoustic, nothing but the guitar. and he walked to theo ther side of the car and said I could open my eyes. He grabbed my hands and started singing to me. It was a song he had written just for me (and the guitar was Darrell playing music they had written just for this song)... I guess I was daydreaming a little thinking how incredible lucky I was to have this man in my life, standing here singing to me, that I didn't really process the lyrics. It wasn't until the second time through the chorus that I realized what was going on. (I of course was crying the whole way through the song)... He finished singing, got down on one knee, pulled out the most beautiful perfect ring I had ever seen and said "Would you make me the happiest man in the world and marry me?" I pulled him in and just hugged him for awhile, I didn't even say anything. When he asked he had tears in his eyes and I was bawling. I finally let go of him and said "yes". I could not believe this was real and could not text people a picture of my ring fast enough. I know the whole trip down the mountain I had this stupid grin on my face. Kenny was laughing at me because I was texting a million different people the whole way back to the house. Kenny told me that he hopes I don't have any other plans and not to plan on getting much Biochem studying done (even though I really needed to because I had a big test on Monday), because we had dinner plans too and I had to get dressed up. We went home and visited with Ricky and Stef (I didn't know they were going to be in town even). And he told me I had to be ready by 6:00pm...
I know it's on the wrong hand, but I wanted a picture and I had a ring on my other hand lol... And it was WAY too big for the left hand :)
I LOVE this man!
