I said YES!

So.. I am very terrible when it comes to updating this. But I guess I have a reason now. :)

IM ENGAGED! So this is the story...

First.. A little back ground knowledge. Tyler and I had picked out my ring a couple weeks ago.

 He had told me that he had just ordered it this week. I always get secrets out of Tyler. 

But this time, I was tricked.. 

 SO....It was March 10. I got up that morning and I was planning on spending the whole day with my cute boy Ty. Well he decided to sleep in until late... so I decided I would go with my mom Salt Lake with my mom. We spent a couple hours there and came back. I got back home and I drove back down to Tylers. He was happy as ever! He couldn't wait to take me out and do something fun for the night. So we headed down to Bountiful. We went and enjoyed some dinner at one of my favorite places called Pei Wei, then he wanted to take me up to the temple. That was one of our favorite things to do. We have been up there a lot. I love it there. It has always been a place I would go to just think, to talk, or to just get away from the world. It is beautiful up there! Anyway... On the way up we listen to my favorite "love songs" Taylor Swift, Love Story, Bruno Mars, Just the way you are, and so on. It is totally dorky that I love those songs. So he takes me up there, and we just were just talking and walking around it.  I was freezing and forgot my jacket. I was wondering why Tyler wouldn't offer me his jacket. I didn't think too much about it though. So we had walked around the temple, and I was heading back to Tyler's car. He then told me to come back, he wanted to look at something one more time. I walked over there and Tyler got down on one knee. I thought he was just playing around. He sat there and told me how much he loved me and how he wanted to spend forever with me. It was really sincere, but I kept trying to pull him up because he really always did this to me, so i thought he was kidding. I know, I am rude. Then he had to get down on two knees and he said, "Taylor, will you marry me?" and i replied, "Yes Ty i will, but you don't have a ring." He then asked me to feel in his coat pocket to see if there was a ring there, and there wasnt, then he reached in his other coat pocket and pulled out the ring and said again, " Taylor, will you marry me?" As soon as he said that, I was filled with butterflies. I was so happy. I knew I would be spending forever with my best friend. I was totally caught off guard! I did not think that he had the ring. Of course i was excited. It was the perfect ring,  perfect place, with the perfect person. We then walked to the car and headed home to tell eveyone the news. Tyler told me the story of how he had to get his parents to go order the ring when he headed back to BYU I to school. Then about how he had been having long, sleepless nights because he had been so nervous. And how he couldnt offer me his jacket because i would have felt the ring. It was just perfect. I am happily engaged to my best friend now.

 

 We plan to get married
 August 4, 2012, 
in the Bountiful Temple!

"Come what may, and love it!" Ohh boy, am I loving it!

         I stole that little quote off one of my cute best friend's (Brinley) FB wall post. That quote is so true. You can't control what type of things life throws at you. Instead of fighting it we just need to "love" it. I think that is a great way to look at it. So life has been GREAT!! So many fun things are going on in my adventures of life. 

My cute friend Tyler Hoffman returned from serving his mission in Houston, Texas. It has been so fun having him back. And he is such a sweetie, but such a dork at the same time. The first time I saw him after he had returned, the first thing we did was just embraced. Then he looks and me and says, "You look GREAT!" It is so nice to have him home! 

As you can see.. WE ARE    .....DORKS

Family is one of the most important things in life. This is a quote that I love. "Friends come and go, but family is forver!" I love that!!! Because growing up you change through friends every year, but your family is still there know matter what. I am so blessed with the family I have. I consider my sisters my best friends. Same with my parents. Since i have moved out, I have realized how much I love being around my family. Lately we have all been so much closer. I love the relationship we have.  I believe the blessing of the temple have had a huge impact with that, as well as our cute                                                                                     little Ryker.

Look at him.. He is just the CUTEST THING!!

And as you can see, I still am having a blast here at college. It's so fun to have get togethers at the liberty house, dressing up for halloween, and cheering for SUU at a WSU football game? yes.. I had to support Whitney! She just looked tooo dang hot out there to not ;) It has just been a fun fun time! These are the times in life that you dont get to live again, so live it up! 

Today me and my friend Laurski (Laura) 

went to the Bountiful Temple. Oh how I love that

 place. It was such a neat experience to be there.

 I have now been living down in Ogden for 

about two months now. So crazy how time flies.

But.. can I just tell you that I LOVE it! I have had so much

 fun with my lovely roommates.

We are always down for a good time. So here are some pictures

 to show whats been going on :)

We decided to have a little dance party in our backyard!

 It was a great time :) Joe managed to get on 

the roof to show us his moves!

Derick and Jen were throwing it down!

Then.. The next weekend we took a little trip up to Pineview to go canoeing. The plan was to go camping.. But lets just say the plan FAILED :) We borrowed a canoe from Whit's parents and had a grand time upt there. 

Spare of the moment, we decided to go fishing.. Girls dont do very well fishing. So we had some fun with the camera :)

Me and Jenny went down to the U of U for the Redfest! It was so fun to see some old friends! We had a great time!

And last.. one of my very best friends just got married! It was such a fun day to spend with her. We were able to wait outside the temple for her to come out. She was a beautiful bride! The whole day was just fun! We ended it with some dancing and we ALL (including the bride) jumped in the pool! It was a blast!!
