I flew out October 10th to surprise my family and friends. The night before Brod let me know that he would be working overtime and could not pick me up from the airport. I was so frustrated. We had specifically chosen this flight just so he could pick me up. I told him I was going to sit in the airport until he picked me up because I didn't want anyone else to. So I got on the plane and made my way to Utah. I finally landed and called him. He told me to hurry and give his mom a call to make sure she was there to pick me up, and call him after. I gave her a call and was explaining where I was waiting when I got a tap on the shoulder. I turned around and there he was with balloons and an extra big smile on his face. ( white lie number 1)
After tears a huge hug and a lot of kisses we were on our way to surprise my family. I decided I would give my family a call just to see what my parents were doing (where my parents were, white lie number 2 ). I couldn't get a hold of anyone except my dad, who of course wasn't home. So we decided we would go surprise my sister K and baby K. Her reaction was priceless. She was in shock and let us know about ten times that she hated us ( she was just really excited and pregnant). We made a game plan of how we were going to surprise my parents and went on with our day. We went Brod's house and his mom wasn't home. Usually we go through the garage or something but, for some weird reason we had to wait in the backyard. ( white lie number 3) We visited for awhile and made a plan for what we would do that night. We decided we were going to watch a movie up in the mountains. His parents were very adamant about us taking the DVD player right than because they weren't going to be home later that evening. ( white lie number 4) We grabbed the DVD player, went for a hayride, picked pumpkins, surprised my parents and enjoyed Cafe Rio. It was the most perfect way to start my stay in Utah.
The day of the propsal started out perfect. Brody came and picked me up and we went out for my favorite breakfast, french toast from Kneaders. It was so yummy! We than headed to Ross and a couple other places. Brody informed that he was dropping me off and I needed to get ready for pictures. ( we had planned to have someone just take some fun pictures of us while I was there ) Well a couple hours passed by and still no Brody. I texted him and asked where he was and he said he was going to find his white shirt. ( white lie 5) I started to lose patience. He than informed that the photographer needed to move the picture time ( about five times ). I finally told him this was becoming to stressful and I would rather not do pictures and just hang out. That didn't fly with him. I decided to just set my phone aside when I heard a knock at the door. It was his mom. She informed that her mom was having car trouble and Brod and his dad needed to go help her. ( white lie 6 ) So we all hopped in her car and headed to Brigham for pictures where Brod would meet up with us.
We pulled up to where we were going to take pictures and I only saw Brody's car. I was confused. I asked if the photographer was even there yet. His mom told us she knew where we needed to go and the photographer would just meet us there. We started to walk down towards the spot when I noticed mason jars with candles. I was so clueless. I just thought hmm thats weird. I turned the corner. Noticed a huge sign that said, " Our happily ever after starts here". I then glanced up to see Brody walking across the stream to meet me. With tears in my eyes I turned around to my mom and future mom. I was able to get the words out you knew as the tears started falling faster. My prince charming grabbed my hand walked me across the stream down into this meadow. The following moments after were perfect. We were in the mountains, by a stream it was surreal. There were mason jars and candles in the trees, a picture timeline, a cute table with chalk board sayings and the love of my life right in front of me. He read me the sweetest letter, got down on one knee and asked me to marry him. After struggling to get my promise ring off and the real thing on, he turned me around to introduce me to the photograper. HIS SISTER!! She had flown in from Arizona to capture our perfect day. Within the next little while my whole family came walking down, along with his. It was so perfect.
I am extremly blessed and beyond excited to start my happily ever after with the man of my dreams, April 25th, 2015.
Love always,
K
Highlights of the Week:
- Brody was tickling me, I went to get away and slammed my head against the wall.

- Brody tried to tickle me for the third time and when I went to duck down he went to stand up causing me to bite my tongue.
