Just Checking In

    Hey there! Yes, I am still alive and engaged in case anyone was wondering whats been going on. Welp, not much of anything honestly!

    Since I've been back at work I've been working like crazy and the FI finally got put on day shift at his job. It has been great having him home at night and up with time do do stuff on days off.

    I definitely don't blame him in any way for our lack of planning but it is going to (hopefully) start moving a lot faster now that we can do things during the day.

    We know that we just have to look at venues and pick a place to get the ball rolling- trust us, we know and we're working on it. I have looked at a million places and have narrowed it down to the few we like and can afford; now we just have to make an appointment and go!

    With the holidays coming and us hoping to move to a new apartment soon time is going to be short but we will make it happen. And soon, we promise!

The Proposal Story

 I just realized that I haven't shared the story of how he proposed. To make it short I have to say it was perfect and I wouldn't have wanted it any other way. So here it goes....

    We had recently bought some new camping gear and were dying to try it out so one random day we packed up and headed out to our favorite camping place -Joshua Tree National Park.  

The weather was perfect and the Park wasn't crowded at all! We were only staying a night, just enough time to get in a good hike and enjoy some time in the middle of nowhere next to a campfire.   

     

Never been hiking in JTree before we decided to start with Ryan Mountain, a 3-mile hike that should take a few hours to complete. 

Beginning to the best day of my life

 Stopping only a few times for pictures and water we made it to the top where the view was amazing!

This does not even compare to how amazing the view actually is!

 Last picture of me as a girlfriend

I had no clue :)

    Dylan kept pointing out good picture spots and after one suggestion I turned around to find him down on one knee holding out a little box with a shiny ring in it and said,"Will you marry me?" I was sooo surprised- I'm sure at one point I said yes, it was all so... omg this is it!

First picture of me as a fiance

Still couldn't believe it!

 Even thinking about it now my heart starts racing and I get those lil butterflies in my tummy.
