So you want to know how I got engaged!

Well unfortunately Kyle and I have to spend the weeks apart and only get the weekends together. But lucky for me he finished the semester a week before me so he was able to come up during the week to see me and be there for my graduation. He came up wed. and asked me if I wanted to go look at Christmas lights. I was so excited, but said I would only go if there was hot chocolate and Christmas music. We headed to G's Dairy for our hot chocolate. When we were walking up to the door there was fresh snow on the side walk. I was excited to be able to place the first foot prints int he new snow. So I jump up on the sidewalk and BAM! I fall. Luckily Kyle had my hand so I didn't get hurt, but it was still funny so we both shared a good laugh. They were closed inside but the employee said we could go through the drive threw. So instead of getting in the car we walk up to the window and order our hot chocolate. It was so cold so I got a big smile when handed my hot chocolate!

Kyle and I started to drive around in search for lights. Since its Rexburg, Idaho we didn't come across too many. Earlier this day I had been shopping for Kyle's Christmas present. I decided to give him one present every day until I left to go home. I had his present with me in the car so since it was a Christmas cd I told him to pull over to open it. He pulled over in an empty lot over looking Rexburg. He opened the gift and said thanks. It began to snow and a slower Christmas song came on. He asked me if I wanted to dance. I grinned and said yes. We danced a bit in the freezing snow and the he said he wanted me to open his Christmas present early. I knew he had been working on some present that included the help of family and friends. It was a book full of letters and pictures from all the wonderful people in my life. It was so wonderful it even made me cry. I loved it! I got to the last page, it was from Kyle. He had written a message and then had a wheel of pictures that I could spin to see more pictures. I got to the end of the wheel and it read, will you marry me? Kyle was then down on one knee with a beautiful ring in his hand. Or course I said yes! We were very excited, but had now been in the snow for a while and were freezing! The cold did not stop our fun and excitment!
