We're Engaged!

3 years ago I went to EA for my 2nd year. There was an opening social that first night so me and Becky went and were so excited to see all of our friends again. I remember exactly where I was standing and who I was talking to when I looked over and saw this super cute boy that I had never seen before. He was standing there with a bunch of other new guys, and for some reason I just could not take my eyes off of this particular one! We made eye contact like crazy all night, and I will admit it's because I couldn't stop staring, but hey he wouldn't stop staring back! And you'll never guess what happened next!? Nothing. I went home, and was like "well crap! I should have just talked to him!" haha, oh well...there were more oppurtunities. I would see him all the time and when we would pass each other on the sidewalk or in the wellness center he would always say "Hey" and oh my goodness my heart would just melt! haha. He happened to be friends with an old roommate of mine and when he realized that I was friends with her he started asking questions. We finally met one night at the Institute. I worked up the courage to go sit right next to him on the stage while we watched basketball. We introduced ourselves and all that good stuff, and then I remember him saying "Your eyes are so pretty!" I'm sure I blushed and got all smiley, but I tried to play it cool... then I asked him how old he was. "18" he said. And I thought..."Oh crap! He's younger than me, and hasn't been on a mission yet!" haha, all this time I was thinking he was so much older! But I still just couldn't stop thinking about him and was always hoping i'd run into him again. Well thanks to my friend Sam (who I will be forever grateful to!) gave him my phone number and he text me one day...it went something like this... "Hi this is Spenser, I don't know if you remember me from the institute but I was wondering if you wanted to go on a date with me sometime." haha what a chicken, asking me in a text message. But of course I was so excited and I ran to Becky (who I had just passed walking to class) and showed her. We did our whole excited ritual and then I was late for class. So that night he took me on our first date and i've never had a better first date in my life! We went goofy golfing, shared ice cream, watched a movie, played on his longboard (which is way harder than it looks) and talked forever! I didn't want the night to end. I went home and said "I like him! I like him! He's so cool!" and all that... and luckily he liked me back and we were together everyday after that until he moved back home the next semester to get ready for his mission. Well now he's back and we're getting married!!! He asked me on Friday night at the Diamondbacks game! I was so surprised. He had me convinced that he didn't have a ring and didn't know what to buy so we were supposed to go ring shopping on Saturday. But he lied! And it was so fun. I love him so much, and I am so happy to be the girl that gets to marry him and be with him forever! He is so funny, he makes me laugh all the time! We have been through a lot together and it has just brought us closer. We will be getting married November 21st in the Mesa Temple, and our plans are to move up to Idaho to go to BYU. I'm so excited to start our life together!

He filmed the whole thing when he proposed to me, so I uploaded it to YouTube and added the link if you want to watch. :)
