Warm weather = happy heather

My brothers are too cute. They both have new digital cameras and have been walking around on Sunday afternoons capturing life as we know it.

Adams reservoir never looked so good! I can't believe this is right behind my house...man I take things for granite. (Ok help me out...is it 'granite' or 'granted'? That is the question of the century for me!)
I think they are pretty awesome little photographers. They took a lot of great pictures of our yard coming back to life.

Here's what Scott and I were doing Sunday afternoon. The weather was perfect outside for an afternoon nap. I was so out!

Here's the Story!

Wow.

This week has definitely changed my life! All of a sudden I have a thousand decisions to make! I LOVE IT!

My 23rd birthday was Wednesday. I was under the impression Scott was in California with his aunt and uncle for work. He called me once Tuesday, and left a quick message Wednesday. I figured he didn't have cell service where he was, so I didn't think anything was fishy about it.

My stake is preparing to do the play Savior of the World, and we had a rehearsal from 6-9pm that night. At the end of the rehearsal the entire cast of over 100 people sang happy birthday to me! It was awesome. My cute singles ward had also got me a cake :) I have such great friends!

As people started to leave, a few friends came in and told me I had to go to their car with them. I was talking to the directors at the moment, and told them I couldn't right then. After about 10 minutes, my neighbor came up and said, "Heather. There is a LIMO outside for you."

:)

My stomach dropped and I started shaking and feeling excited and nervous! I knew it must be Scott. THIS WAS IT! I ran outside and dozens of the cast were lining the sidewalks and they cheered when I came out!

I saw a red carpet leading up to a beautiful limo...and there was Scott down on both knees. He looked incredible! I started crying the moment I saw him! I jumped up and down and ran across the lawn to him. He told me that you never know when life is going to change (he quoted that from a poem I wrote him 4 years ago). He said I had changed his life, and that it was time to change ours.

As he put the gorgeous ring on my finger FIREWORKS went off across the street. These weren't just sparklers...I'm talking beautiful-illegal-80 foot high fireworks. It was perfect.

My family was there and so was his brother's. After lots of hugs, we drove to the Salt Lake Temple in the limo.

We are so happy! We have been working on making a decision about our future since Christmas, and it truly feels like this is exactly what we should be doing at this point in our lives. THANK YOU to everyone for supporting us all these years. Your love means THE WORLD to us.

A Fundraiser and Surprise

When your guy lives 7 hours away, you don't expect him to randomly show up on your doorstep un-announced. That's why I love my Scott! He is so unpredictable.

We had a big fundraising gala for my work recently. I hadn't planned on Scott coming because I had just seen him the week before. With the price of gas these days...we don't usually see each other more than twice a month.

BUT...right after yoga the night before I got a call from him saying he was at his brother's house in Kaysville! I was so surprised that he had driven that far to see me again, and to help out with the gala. He even ended up saving the day at it by getting our credit card machine to work. I had given up on it, but after 20 minutes on the phone with a customer service guy, he had it up and running.
He definitely has the approval of my boss now! It was an awesome weekend, I'm so glad he came. He's so supportive!

Dance Dance

Flew to Reno for a wedding on Friday, it was so fun! The reception was gorgeous, we all had fun dancing. It was fun to see Scott's mom and dad and his little sister Julie!

The next day we hurried back to Salt Lake to attend the Military ball with my family. We all loved getting dressed up and dancing for three hours! Scott looked great in his pink tie and cufflinks. He is a talented dancer, he definitely taught me some new steps!
