Just An Alaskan Girl and A Country Boy: Engagement!! Finally!

I can't believe it has been as long as it has. Preston and I officially decided we were a couple April 18, 2012, and man does time fly. We had talked about life together many different times and what we both saw for the future, and oddly enough our plans meshed very well. I have grown to love Preston and his amazing family very deeply over the years and I can't wait to spend more time with them in the adventurous days to come.

Ready to go out, so Handsome!

We decided to have a date night a few weeks ago, on one of my few Saturday's off. I was just planning on one similar to those in the past, little did I know what surprise lay in store for me. After going to dinner and a movie, Preston said he had one more surprise. We drove to Sunnyside Park here in Pullman, and Preston pulled a blanket and wicker basket out of the trunk. It was dark by this point, so we ha the place to ourselves.

We laid the blanket out next to the pond, and then Preston put a bunch of white candles in a circle around us, so we could sit in the candlelight. We sat and talked for a while about our relationship and where we saw our future going. Preston asked me to stand up closer to the edge of the pond so he could point something out to me.

He then started talking about how much he loved me and all the things I stood for and wanted to accomplish in this life. I got an inkling at this point something was about to happen. He then got down on one knee and asked that special question. I was so surprised that I could only whisper "yes" and he had to ask me to repeat myself, oh brother. He picked out such a beautiful and simple ring, and I really can't wait to see what the future is going to hold for me.

Its so sparkly!!! *Minions Laugh*

We were getting ready the next morning and I look over to see Wynter sunning herself, and looking very smug at the same time. She must think she got left out of the action.
