what a wonderful friday!
Today was such a great day! I got to sleep in this morning (it felt wonderful!) I haven't been able to sleep in since I don't know when! So that in itself was such a treat! :)
Then Jon and I were planning on getting my ring resized today so he picked me up in the early afternoon.
But before we did that we signed a contract for our FIRST APARTMENT! :) :)
We have been searching like crazy this past week and a half for an apartment! We found one a few days ago that we loved, it is perfect for Jon and I. It's close to campus, a good price, newly remodeled kitchen and bath, hardwood floors, it's just an all around cute little place! But anyways we went and checked it out and filled out an application on Wednesday. We left with such high hopes and we had a pretty good feeling that we would get the apartment but we decided that we should keep on looking around just in case. So we looked around here and there but nothing compared! But today right before Jon picked me up he got a phone call saying that we got the apartment! Yay!!! It is such a relief not to have that to worry about! And it is just the perfect first apartment! We are so excited!
After we signed the contract, Jon's brother Ben took us out to lunch at the Old Grist Mill (yum!) I had never been there before so Ben took us there to celebrate! Then we went to get my ring resized (which we ended up not resizing at all) and we sized up Jon's ring finger. Then to end the day perfectly...we went to the D.I., TJMaxx, and Old Navy...got some Papa Murphy's stuffed pizza for dinner and watched a little marathon of 24.
Oh life if good! Jon is such a stud, I can't wait to marry him! Today we were trying to describe to Ben how much fun it has been to be engaged and Jon summed it up perfectly. It's like we're dating but on steroids, haha it's so enhanced. Everything is falling into place, I am so incredibly happy. :)

The Proposal
Jon told me a little while ago that he has never hiked the wind caves.
(Those of you not from Logan or those of you that have never hiked the wind caves....once you get up to where the caves are you first go into this bigger cave and then you can go around this corner to a smaller one and both caves overlook Logan Canyon it's a really fun place to go and it's beautiful!)
But anyways I told Jon that we should go hike up there sometime soon before school starts! And by then he was already planning to take me up there to propose!
So last weekend he asked me if I wanted to go on a group date night hike up there, I didn't think anything of it and I had no idea that he was planning something!
Jon had to work later that night so after work he picked me up and told me that the group had already started going up and that we would either catch them on the trail or that we would just meet them at the top. Again I didn't think anything of it!
So we started our little hike up to the top, we had so much fun on the hike up and Jon acted very normal and not nervous or anxious at all.
Half way there it started to get dark and I could see these lights up in one of the caves. I thought it was just the group with their flashlights, so I still had no clue to what was about to happen. Once we got to the top we went down into the first cave and nobody was there, I was really confused and Jon acted confused as well. We sat for a little bit and then Jon got up and started walking around acting as though he had never been there before. He started walking towards the corner to the other cave and said "I wonder what's around this corner?" So I came over and he led me around the corner and oh my goodness I felt like I was in a dream.
There were red rose pedals all over and what seemed to be over 100 lit candles all throughout the cave. It was beautiful, amazing, and definitely breath taking! Right away I was giggling up a storm because I was so incredibly happy and surprised.
Jon and I were both giggling and he led me to the center of the cave and told me some really sweet things and we hugged for a little while and then he got down on one knee and proposed! I said Yes so quickly and gave him a big kiss, then he put the most beautiful ring on my finger! (He picked it out himself! It's the perfect ring for me, it's gorgeous!)
After some I love you's and excitement Jon called for his two brothers and sister to come out (they came up earlier and set up the cave for us and were hiding a little ways away from the cave). Jon's family is so great...Jake, Ben, and Liz congratulated us and gave us some sparkling grape juice and fancy glasses to celebrate with and then left us. Jon and I were both so giddy, it was so much fun.
We sat in the cave for awhile longer and just chatted and decided on our special date! Then Jon had prepared a little picnic for us so we went out on top of the caves and started to eat. (Jon and I love going on little picnic dates out under the stars so that was really special) Right when we started to eat up there though it started to rain so we decided to pack up and go to a different spot in Logan.
The whole way down the mountain I was smiling ear to ear and I kept tripping over roots and rocks because I couldn't keep my eyes off of Jon and my beautiful ring! It was so much fun. Once we got down to Jon's car we drove to this little bench that overlooks cache valley and the Logan Temple. There we finished our picnic and celebrated. It was the perfect way to end our night.
So far, it was the best night of my life. Jon is such a romantic! I can't imagine a more perfect proposal.
I feel like I am still in a dream! I haven't left cloud nine since!
I am so excited to marry my best friend and to be sealed to Jon for all time and eternity. I love him so much, I am one very lucky girl!
