It's finally happened. I am engaged to my best friend and love of my life! Wes and I will be sealed for time and all eternity on December 14th. Crazy huh! Crazy to think that in just a couple short months we will be married and be spending the rest of our lives together. I couldn't be happier! He makes me the happiest girl. He really, as clique as this sounds, is my prince charming. He makes me want to be a better person each and every day. He has blessed my life so much and I can't believe that I get to keep him! I am one lucky girl.
Now enough about the mushy stuff...I know you all are really just wanting to hear how he did it! As some might know I am a very nosey person...especially when it comes to him. And, well, he did a really good job at surprising me.I didn't even suspect anything that night! So he showed up that night and I had surprised him by making dinner (which I normally don't do) and I had dressed up all cute and did my hair (which I normally don't do since I have to have my hair up for work) and I guess when he walked in the door he thought I was on to him and knew what was going to happen....which I didn't! But he didn't say anything, he was just nervous that I might know. Anywho we then went to dairy queen with 2 other couples for a quick little ice cream/diet coke:) Then the boys told us that they had rented a U-Haul for that night and we were going to watch a movie in the back of it up in the canyon. I've never been in the back of a U-Haul for a date, but there's a first time for everything! So we hopped in the back, which they had put couches and rugs in it to look nice, and drove to our destination. We then parked and watched Taken. Which if you don't know about is about the kidnapping of a teenage girl. So needless to say I was pretty stressed the whole movie. At the end of the movie the 2 other couples jumped out and closed the back of the U-Haul. They then started driving away! We drove for about 10-15 minutes, with me scared the whole way. (Perfect way to keep me distracted I guess haha). Towards the end of the drive we suddenly felt that we were going backwards and scraping against some trees, which really scared me. Then the back opened up and I realized where we were at. We were at the place where Wes had first kissed me and there was a table all set up with a rose and a video that he had made. The four others had taken off by this part in some get-away car. I then knew what was going on :) Wes got down on one knee and I sat on it to watch the video, which sadly died in the middle of it! So then he stood me up and did his little speech, which was the greatest thing i've ever heard, and I guess I didn't even let him ask me before I starting saying yes! So then he got back down on one knee and asked me if I would marry him. Then he placed the ring on the wrong finger, which neither of us really noticed in the moment! But we got it on the right finger immediately after:) I can't describe how happy and excited I was in that moment. It was one of the most emotional moments of my life that I will remember forever. And to top it all off I got to drive the U-Haul home. What a perfect night! The only day that could beat this one is the day when I get to kneel across the alter from my best friend and we make those covenants to one another. I cannot wait for that day! And to become Mr. and Mrs. Haskell. A team forever. Wow that gives me goose bumps. 
I love my life!
And my handsome fiance!
