When You Know, You Know

I think it only fitting I post, I haven't posted much in a long time and I apologize but I cannot promise I'll be better at it! I'm only going to be more stressed for the next 3-4 months :)
Why?
Well, as most of you already know I am ENGAGED to Chris W. Taylor, a.k.a. my Best Friend. CRAZY!
Everyone has been asking about the story of how we meet  and how he proposed... so, here it is :)

How We Meet;
   It was a Friday, there was an Institute Social that night at the ASU institute. I wasn't planning on going until I felt like I needed to go. So I sent my Friend Amber a message to see if I could tag along with her and Courtney, of course she said I could, so I got ready and left. We got there and just kind of mingled with some old friends and I ate some food, we played a board game and then we decided to dance! After a while we ended up dancing near this guy one of my friends knew, but there was a girl with him so I didn't push anything. But we continued to "Mormon Rave" anyway. It was so hot inside the gym, I left to get air, when I came back a slow song was on and so I sat down with my friends, I really just wanted to cool off. This guy shows up again but sits down next to me exclaimed that he wasn't going to dance unless someone asked him. So, I asked him. We danced to a few slow songs. While we were dancing and getting along so well, I turned to give my friends, The Nod. I knew this guy needed to go on a date with me. Before the night was through we exchanged numbers and planned a date for the NEXT NIGHT. The date went pretty much perfect, except for the fact he forgot to tell me to bring socks for Ice Skating. Haha oh well. He ended up kissing me in my kitchen later that night while we were making cookies and listening to our favorite music. I was ok with it. We hit it off. I knew this was going to go somewhere after a prefect date like that. We just clicked so well and I had that feeling in the pit of my stomach that I can't explain. That was the night we knew we were going to be with each other for eternity.

How He Proposed: 
  Wednesday September 5th after Institute Chris and I went out for desert and decided we wanted to enjoy it at the Temple. We finished pretty fast and was just walking around the Temple talking about life. Then Chris says, "Oh, I forgot to give you a note I wrote you for your birthday yesterday!" He hands me the note and I asked him if he wanted me to wait to read it and he very cool and calm said, "Nah, you can read it now." So I began to read it. It was sweet, a little cheesy, but it was just explaining how much he appreciated me and loves me and how I make him happy and blah blah... haha at the end there was Spanish or Portuguese (one of the two) and I laughed and told him he had to tell me what it said. So he giggled a little, reached in his pocket and knelt down on one knee and asked me to MARRY HIM!!  And I said yes :)

He is such a goofball, but he is amazing. I couldn't imagine my life without him in it and I honestly don't know where I would be today without him. So yes, it's been two weeks since our first date, but we knew right away that we were to be each others "Other Half". I didn't know I could ever have this much love and appreciation for another person outside of my family, let alone a man. I love him and cannot wait to spend eternity with him!
