so as most of you know this weekend while taking a mini-vacation to Kelowna, British Columbia [BC] i got engaged! yes, i celebrated my 19th birthday and now i am celebrating my engagement! oh how exciting!! i was actually quite suprised, i had been expecting to get engaged earlier this year because me and Tyler had talked about when we'd like to get married and went and looked at rings, and i'd told him what i'd like. [3 stone in a low setting, white gold, and diamonds on the band... he picked the perfect one!] so by now i had figured he was going to wait until I left or maybe do it once we were back in Iowa in August. but nope! here's how it went.
THE STORY::
We got to Kelowna, BC Friday night around 8 or 9pm. then Saturday morning Tyler was up and ready to hit the beach at 10am, i was still fairly groggy and sleepy but the thought of getting some sun and laying in the sand woke me right up. we went to the beach until about 4pm and then went to his grandparent's to change into clothes for dinner.
We ate at a waterfront restaurant with quite the sunset veiw. then we proceeded to driving to Mount Knox/Knox Mountain, which ever you prefer... and sat at the top of this mountain over looking the city of Kelowna you could see almost all the city it was beautiful!
While sitting on a couple of big rocks I noticed that sticker plants had started growing in the cracks as I stuck my hand right into it's thorny clusters. so I stood up to make sure i didn't have any in the bottom of my pants, sure enough i felt the little thorns poking my bum. here's the good part :D
as I was trying to brush my bum of the annoying pokey thorns Tyler helped me and right before I went to sit down you told me to hold on, and not to sit down yet, as he got on one knee the biggest cheesiest smile came to my face, i could totally feel it, and he asked me if i "would make him the happiest man alive" and if i "would marry him" !!! I said yes in a heartbeat, and he laughed and said "but you haven't even seen the ring yet?" and I told him "it doesn't matter it could be from a candy machine I'd still marry him"

and that was my blessed weekend lol...
