Engagement


Well, for all of you who have been waiting for this moment...it has come.
I'm officially engaged.

The next question that would come out of your mouth, if you were here next to me, would be, "How did he propose?"
I'll answer that before you have to take the time to message me or pick up your phone...

We went out to dinner. I had delicious pesto pasta and a piece of chocolate raspberry cake. Yummm! Then David made some weird random excuse to drop me off at my apartment again. After he left, I slowly made my way back to my bedroom. What did I discover?



A sign on my bedroom door with instructions and a pin. I had to pop my way through all these balloons to find the ones that were different than the rest.


In these balloons there were notes of some of David's favorite memories that we have. In the last balloon, there was a note telling me to contact one of my good friends, Wistie. Right about this point Wistie just appeared out of nowhere, which was pretty awesome. She blindfolded me and put me in her car, where we proceeded to drive in all directions and I had no clue where we were, although I did have a hunch as to where we were headed.

Eventually the car stopped, Wistie got me out of the car, took off the blindfold, and told me to go to the place where Dave first told me he loved me. So, I headed over toward the swings...

He was there with a flower and a ring. And then we were engaged...

Apparently while we were at dinner, Dave enlisted the help of friends and family to blow up all of those balloons. There were 500 of them...which is nuts.

Now that you have oohed and awed over such a cute and thoughtful engagement, the next question you probably have is when and where.

We're getting married this summer on June 11 in the Salt Lake temple.
And don't worry. If I need your help, I will let you know. :)

  3. Wow Kayla! What a great engagement story! I am so happy for you. I put the date on my calendar. I know when there is tons of family, there is not always room for others at the temple, but if there is room, I would love to be there. (If not, I will understand.)

    I've had you on my mind a lot lately, wondering if you were officially engaged, and then finally remembered I could check your blog! :)
