I’m engaged!

Alright, So it has been a while since i last posted anything, so for all of you that are curious.  I’m engaged.  On the 24th of July, my missionary, Tyler Brown returned home.  I was so happy and so nervous that things would be weird.  Well my emotions slowly changed and I was no longer nervous, just happy.  To me, it didn’t seem like he had changed much, well maybe more mature, but not too much different.

Anyhow, about two weeks after he got home, Tyler, me, and my two friends, Ryan and Kimi, all went to California.  We spent a day in Disney’s California Adventure, then a day with my brother Rob and his cute wife Ali, then a day at Magic Mountian (6 Flags), and a day at Disney Land.  Well we were all having so much fun.

On Aug. 12th, we spent the day in Disneyland.  Toward the end of the day we went and got fast passes for Space Mountain that weren’t good until about 9 o’clock.  So to pass time a little faster and save a little money we left the park and went to Taco Bell for dinner.  When we got back, we decided to run to California Adventure to ride the Tower of Terror one last time.  Don’t worry it was worth it.  Then Kimi and Ryan wanted to run to Screamin’ California, but the line was huge!  So they went on the Maliboomer.  After that we ran around the back of the park because the electric parade had just started.  We ran as fast as we could so we would make it back to ride Space Mountain and still make it back to see the fireworks.  So as we were entering the park, Kimi and I just wanted to window shop a bit and then relax and watch the fireworks.  Well Ryan and Tyler kept saying lets just go on Space Mountain, we already have the fast passes, let’s just go.  So Kimi and I still protested.  When we reached the point that we had to decided to turn and go to Space Mountain or go straight to the Castle, Tyler grabbed my hand and pulled me and said lets just go.  Ryan said, well nevermind, have fun, we’re going to the Castle.  I was pretty ticked at the point.  I kept saying why are we still going on Space Mountain, why don’t we just go with Kimi and Ryan.   My feet were hurting pretty bad at this point and I just wanted to sit down, but nope we had to go to Space Mountain.  After we rode Space Mountain, I had cheered up quite a bit, then the fireworks started.  Tyler told me to walk fast so we could make it to the Castle, so i did.  We went to the back of the Castle and watched the end of the fireworks, when it got over, I called ryan and he told me he would come meet us in the back.  Tyler got a little wierd and said, well i’ll call him and just double check, but when he called he told Ryan that we would just meet him in the front.  So we walked up front and we saw them walking the opposite direction and they yelled to us, We’re going to buy a picture frame.  I was done and just wanted to sit, so i said fine and we walked to the front.  I was a little cold, so tyler gave me a hug to warm me up, then he pulled away and got down on his knees.  I was not expecting him to propose right then, But he said, Melanie, I love you with all my heart, will you marry me?  Of course I said yes and started crying.  It was pretty cute.

So that is it, now we are planning a wedding and we are getting married in the Bountiful Utah temple on the 22nd of November and having our reception in Highland on the 29th.

    YAY! You posted something. You are so hi-tech. I actually saw this post yesterday because of how hi-tech I am (google automatically sends me the post when you update it)… Yay for being engaged. You’ll have to come over to my house and we’ll make your wedding invites. it’s my plan for tonight, so either tomorrow or this weekend come over and I’ll show you what I’ve got. And we can make you a wedding spout builder…. that would be pretty fun. :)

    um… its about time you updated your blog. cute engagement story. im so excited for you to get married. waaa hoooo!

    [...] So I was reflecting on a fun little trip that I went on last summer and I thought to myself.  That was exactally a year ago… which means, one year ago today Tyler proposed to me.  It is crazy to think that one year ago we were walking through Disneyland, me just happy watching the fireworks and Tyler slightly nervous with his hand in his pocket making sure it was still there.  If you want to read the whole story… http://www.melface.com/2008/10/01/im-engaged/ [...]
