engaged.

we are in love.
august 13th, so very great!

beautiful sun beams.

our night began like this.
drew wanted to have a special bon fire/ sunset night.
we had had a great week: birthday, camping, temple & dinner.
family and friends knew and tried to get me not too excited.
so when he came and got me he let me pick which direction up the canyon etc.
little did i know he had a plan and wanted us where we were.

we talk about things we need to do alot and beautiful pictures i want to take.
so drew found a place where we could watch the sunset between the mountains.
the view was amazing, even with the rain.

so the next thing we did after dinner was go carve our initials into a tree.
i just think this is the cutest thing ever.
and the boy i love, who is quite sentimental pulled out a pocket knife and created it.

next we made a wish.
after which we attempted to make a fire.
the weather decided to rain.
after the rain, drew played some guitar.
and by this time it was getting dark.
the moon was full, which i also think is beautiful.
we were honestly in the most pretty place.

oh and drew had gotten me a clicker and a tripod for my camera.
after all of this my cute boyfriend told me to sit down and wait.
this is where the fire was going to come into play.
he told me he had a surprise, and went and got it ready.
came back with a flash light: instructed me to follow the sunflowers.
but first give him a head start.

after following the flowers, which are some of my favorites.
there was a little note with the reasons he loves me.
held down by our heart shaped bear lake rock :)
at one point another note told me to put down my flashlight and plug a cord in.
when i did this in the distance was a lit up tree.
pretty little twinkle lights.
with my drew down on his knee.
i walked over to him, we hugged and kissed.
he asked me a few questions, and put a ring on my finger.
there was a little table set up with flowers and hearts.
also the most beautiful ring ever.
now i have the boy of my dreams.
who i love and know with all my everything that this is where i want to be.
i get to spend all of eternity with him, an honorable boy.

three months!!
