The Best of News!!

I am engaged!! I know you have all heard by now and probably think I am a crazy lunatic (which may be true... lol). Yes I have only known him for 2 and 1/2 months. Yes I got engaged after only a month of serious dating. Yes I love him with all my heart. Aaron and I met in our FHE group. I've known that I wanted to marry him for quite some time, he is honestly the most amazing person I have ever known in my entire life. He is everything on my list and then some. He will be an amazing father to my children. Although I knew I wanted to marry him I hadn't prayed about it until last week. To be honest I was scared to pray about it because I loved him so much and if the Lord told me 'no' then it would break my heart. Finally after talking with Haley one night she told me that if I truly felt like it was right then I shouldn't have anything to worry about. And that if I got a no then the Lord knows whats best. So that night at like two in the morning I went out on my patio and looked at the moon and the stars and marveled at the beauty of the earth. I got cold fast and quickly returned to my apartment. Everyone was asleep so it was actually quiet. I knelt down and told heavenly father why I wanted to marry Aaron. I told Heavenly Father everything, from the first date to the last and I told him every good quality I had found in him. I told him how good he was to me and how he had become my best friend. I told him that I truly wanted to spend eternity with him and how I would be lost without him. I told him how I missed him every second that he was gone even if it was only for 5 minutes. I told Heavenly Father everything I could think of and I asked the question. I asked if it was right that I should marry him. I was patient and waited. I felt peaceful inside like I do when I am praying and I know the Lord is listening and cares. I felt like I was floating. I definately didn't get a no and for a regular question I would say that was a yes, but for such a big decision I didn't feel as though I had gotten a strong enough answer. I talked to him about it and he had prayed also. He had gotten a definate yes. So we decided to get married but I was super scared and nervous... it was such a huge decision you know. So we decided to pray together. Before I started praying I had fear running through my bones. As I prayed I told Heavenly Father that we had decided to get married but that I was really scared. I asked that he take that fear away and comfort me to not be scared. Aaron and I both talked to God about marriage and by the end of the prayer all my fear had been washed away and the spirit filled my heart. I knew then that I was to marry him for sure. I had gotten a definate yes. So it was official we were going to get married. On Monday we went and looked at rings together. I found a ring that I absolutely loved. We found a ring he liked too. That night he proposed to me. He showed up at 8:30 in a suit and tie with flowers and boy did he look good. He is the cutest thing in the world. Then we left and he blind-folded me so I couldn't see where we were going. He drove around for quite some time so I was really confused. Once we got where we were going he helped me out of the car and walked me to a bench and sat me down. Then he took off my blindfold but told me to keep my eyes closed. When he told me to open my eyes he was on his knee. He asked me to marry him and I immediately said yes. I wish you could see what I saw in that moment. We were at the temple and the light of the temple shone on his face. Apart from the temple and him the only thing I could see was the stars above. It was heavenly. I saw eternity right there and greeted it with open arms. I love him so much. We stayed there for a few minutes marveling at the beauty of the temple and the stars and eachother. Then our hands were going numb so we decided to go. We then went to Cocoa Bean Cafe' which is a cupcake and hot chocolate cafe. We both got hot chocolate and a cupcake. Then we went and told everyone and showed them the rings. Some of my roommates had been hiding and taking pictures so that was sweet. Then we watched a Walk to Remember together and he really liked it. He gets so into movies its adorable:). My computer is dying so I better get off but know this. I love him with all my heart and even though we only dated for a short time, I know he is the one for me and I can't wait to spend eternity with him. He is the most amazing, sweet, patient, adorable boy I have ever known and I am the luckiest girl alive to get to marry him. The wedding is set for August 4th, 2012 in the Denver Colorado Temple. We already shceduled the temple so yes it is official. :)
