Engaged!!

It's a little late, but Chance and I are engaged!!

On May 6, Chance took me to a little burger joint called Sammy's (where we went on our first date) and then drove me up to Sundance (where we went on the night we first met).

In September, my good friend Josh told me he wanted to set me up with a guy he knew. I am not a big fan of being set up, so I was reluctant to go. But Josh asked me to go with a group of people to the moonlit chairlift in Sundance, and Chance was there.

But anyway, Chance brought me up there last week and we explored the paths a little bit. We found a secluded area and sat next to a creek that was running through it. Chance told me he had a present for me and pulled out a beautiful scrapbook that his sister in law Kaitlyn had made for me (Thanks Kaitlyn!!). I took my time looking through it and on the last page it said "will you spend eternity with me?" with a plastic ring. As I was reading this, Chance got down on one knee and asked me the same question. Of course I said yes! The date is set for July 31 in the Newport Beach Temple.
I am so excited to start our life together. Chance is a wonderful man who is going to be the best father and husband. He makes me happy, and calms me down when I get too stressed (which happens quite a bit). It also helps that I love his family! They are all wonderful and so accepting (even those who I haven't met yet)!
