So as many of you know i am engaged and happier than ever!! I have been asked to tell the story about it by a few people, so here it is...
Matt proposed to me on Valentines day, about 3 weeks before valentines we had talked about valentines day and decided that we both thought valentines was a lame holiday, and that love shouldn't need a designated day to show someone you love them, so we both agreed to treat valentines as a normal day and not get anything for each other and just make it special for the kids, so any way, I worked a 5am-5pm shift on valentines, Matt had picked mylee up earlier that day and brought her to his house to play with his two girls, so after work i went straight to his house, he had made me a delicious steak dinner (his steaks are the best ever!) I was sneaky (or so i thought) and made him some chocolate covered strawberries, and chocolate/caramel cover pretzles, and i got little bags of goodies for the three girls, i just set them down for the time being. Well durning dinner Matt asked if we wanted to do the gift exchages, so the kids yelled yeah!!! So i went and got the girls their bags of goodies and gave matt his plates of goodies, and the girls said that they had something for me and they wanted me to close my eyes, so I did, and they came upstairs with a new set of golf clubs for me. I looked at matt and said, I thought we wern't supposed to do anything for each other, (although, he had mentioned earlier that he wanted to get me some so we could go golfing together for dates.) So i said thanks and gave him a hug and a kiss, then the girls said okay now the gift from us, they said close your eyes again, then when they came upstairs this time, they said open your eyes, so I did, and Matt was on his knee, and the girls had the ring in their hands and said "will you marry our daddy?" Of course i jumped up and gave him a huge hug and kiss, and he asked "so does that mean yes?" I said of course it does!!! Then he had to show me his "little funny" about the proposal, he had earlier asked me to go with him to look at rings, and I told him that he could just give me a string, and I would be happy (Ring shopping makes me nervous, if i see the price tag i freak out, so i refuse to go) but any way when he gave me my golf clubs he got me a golfing glove and he had me try it on, so i did, and apparently he had made a ring out of yarn, but i didn't notice so he had to point it out to me after the proposal, i loved that he did that! Anyway, that is my story it was perfect, i loved how Matt included the girls in the proposal. I am the luckiest girl in the world to be blessed to marry the most amazing guy ever, he is such a great dad to both his girls as well as Mylee, and he treats me better than i could ever ask for! Oh one more adorable thing that happened, we had the three girls call my mom to tell her the news, and when they called her they said, Hey grandma, guess what, our mommy and daddy our getting married! It was so cute, and of course my mom cried and was so happy. Oh and ever since the proposal Mylee keeps saying she is going to marry Matt and the girls, i keep telling her, no mommy is going to marry Matt, and the girls are going to be your sisters, she gets so excited and dances, everytime we pass the temple she says thats where I am getting married, I love how her mind works, it so cute! Anyway as far as dates go for the wedding we don't have that quite decided yet, we have a few dates in the air we are tossing around, its hard because we have to work around my school schedule, plus i have to give steve so much time to write his letter for the sealing between us to be cancelled, so I can be sealed to Matt, becuase even though the divorce has been finalized for over 2 years they don't break the sealing until the women remarries. So i'll keep all of you posted when we choose the date that works best! :)
