I'm Engaged!!!!

Yes. That is right. I am engaged to Jace Taylor. I am so lucky and can't wait to spend forever with him. We are getting married July 17 at the Bountiful Temple.We are still working out all the details and having fun figuring it all out. But I know you want to hear the story of the proposal so here ya go. . .

We have been wanting to go feed ducks for a while now and finally had some free time today to go. We planned on going after I got some homework done and that ended up being around noon so I needed some food. Jace had just ate some cereal he said so he wasn't hungry and we haven't gone grocery shopping yet so we made a trip to Wendy's. We got me a hamburger and drived around for a little bit and ended up getting pulled over for mud flaps on Jace's Truck. It sucked. I had some idea that he was going to propose soon but not sure when so when we left the house I kinda looked to see if he had the ring with him. I didn't notice one at all cuz he didn't have on a jacket and it wouldn't fit in his pocket so I figured if he was going to do it then the ring was in his truck; probably in the jockey box. When we got pulled over I was like, oh no. this will ruin it. But the ring wasn't in the jockey box so I was sure he wasn't going to propose today. We got our fix-it ticket and went to the pond at Bloomington Golf Course.
There were some people there so we waited for some of them to leave. Finally some of them left so we got out of the truck and sat on some benches and fed ducks for a little bit, still oblivious to what was going to happen. These people and their 2 kids came over and were watching the ducks by us and Jace started saying that we should wait til they leave. Then these other kids came chasing the ducks and they all went away so we had to stop feeding the ducks. Which turned out to be a good thing. We just talked and watched the ducks til the people left, but they didn't leave. I had my camera in my purse and had grab it and took some pictures of the ducks and us while we waited. It was alot of fun. Jace had us go over to the other side of the pond away from the people. We walked over and I fed ducks while we walked trying to get more to come over. We got over to where there were some trees and I finished the slice of bread I had. Jace asked if I needed some more. I said Yea and turned around to get some because he was behind me and he was on one knee. He asked if i would marry him and I happily said yes. He gave me a hug and kiss and then put the ring one after giving me some more bread. Haha It was cute. He was so nervous and was shaking when he put the ring on. I yelled it to the golfers on the other side of the pond. None of them heard but I didn't care. I also told all the ducks too. It was fun. I just wanted to tell everyone.
So come after all the happy kisses and smiles he showed me where he hid the ring. He had taken out the center of 4 slices of bread and hid the ring in them. I had no idea it was there. It was so creative. I love it and I love him lots too. :)
