I'm engaged!

Brian and I are engaged! Yep, I get to marry my best friend :). He asked me today at lunch. Yep, at lunch - so of course it was totally unexpected! Who proposes at lunch? Haha. I love it. So, the story is pretty good... It begins with Brian asking me yesterday if I wanted to go out to lunch today. Of course I said yes - I love lunch dates! So after I got back from Salt Lake this afternoon, he came and picked me up :). Only... we didn't go ouuut to lunch, we picnicked instead! He knows that I love picnics! We went up to a cool place we've been a few times before that looks like a castle but is really an outdoor ampitheater....

He brought blankets and a whole duffel bag full of food - salad, bread, chicken, and the most delicious pasta ever (with homemade cheese alfredo sauce that he made). Mmm mmm delish. I was beginning to think that something was up as I saw how much effort he had put into this lunch. Afterall - it was a picnic! Well... now comes the good part...

He said that it was time for dessert and pulled out some granola bars, oranges, and a can of pineapple slices (he knew I had been trying to eat healthy lately). I honestly could barely even finish lunch, let alone start on dessert... but he said he wanted some pineapple and asked nicely if I would open it up for him. So, I did. Only, I didn't find pineapple inside... I found tissue paper and a cute little box. I'm sure you can guess what was inside that cute little box - the most beautiful ring ever! He got down on one knee, asked me nicely to stand up, and asked me to be his forever and ever. I said yes of course! I don't think I've ever heard of anyone finding their ring inside of a pineapple can. Hahaha. That's Brian for you! It was so cute. He had even put weights inside so that it would feel like the same weight as a real can of pineapple. He told me he did it by cutting off the bottom with a special can opener, cleaning it out, putting the ring and stuff in, and then sealing it up, replacing the label, and voila! - the perfect ring holder... who knew? :)

So now, I am officially engaged to the most wonderful guy ever! I love him! It has been quite the adventure telling everyone - thanks for all of the congratulations! We are just so happy and excited to spend our lives together!

That wasn't any ordinary can of pineapple slices!

believe it or not, it actually looks better in person!!
