The Engagement

I'm engaged!!! I guess I'm writing this entry a little late since it happened a little while ago. But here's how it happened :) I was getting ready to fly down to Mesa to be with Michael on Wednesday night, and I was leaving Thursday. Brittany (my roommate) had talked me into helping her with her psychology experiment a few days before and I agreed. Me, Kelsey, and Ashley all piled into the back of McKenna's car with Brittany directing us all. She made us do the weirdest things like find a brick wall and figure out where you are-all blindfolded. lol. Then finally they drive around forever and I start feeling really carsick. Finally we stop. And they're like ok almost done. And they take me on this really long walk blindfolded. Then they stop. Brittany turns to me and says "Taylor I'm going to take off your blindfold and I want you to look straight ahead." At that point I knew something was kind of fishy. But as they took off my blindfold I see Michael a little ways in front of me down on one knee with the ring open. I was in such shock (since I thought he was in Mesa and everything) that I looked at him and was like "What are you doing here?" (obviously I knew what he was doing there). I stood there for a long time and finally he says "come here :)" So I start off slowly at first and then run to him. And he asked me to marry him...and I said YES!!! After that he took me to this restaurant Ottavio's which is an Italian Restaurant (Italian is my favorite). There were rose petals all over the table and a picture of us and a dozen roses in a vase. It was incredible. After that he took me to my apartment. There were rose petals all over the kitchen and candles lit everywhere. On the T.V. there was a slideshow of us that he had made and on the table was A picture frame with the Mesa temple in the middle (where we're getting married) and pictures of us all around it. Also on the table was chocolate chip cookie dough cheesecake. It was amazingly delicious. Basically it was the best night of my life so far. I'm so incredibly happy....and I'm marrying the most amazing man....He is everything I have ever wished for and more...so much more :)
