Most people know the story of how I made it out to Utah a little over a year ago. But for a little recap, it took 7 months of me throwing a tantrum for the Lord to finally make me see that I needed to be out here. Everything fell into place once I made that decision to make the move. I found a job, I found a place to live, put in my 2 weeks notice and drove across the country with my best friend and sister.
Fast forward a little, the job wasn't everything I'd hoped it would be. But I made some friends along the way and life continued to worked out. Moved on to a better job and life seemed to working out the way that I wanted it to.
Went back to my first Utah job to visit and my life would change for the better. Saw a guy working security and he checked me in so that I could go upstairs at the hospital. From that night on we texted, went out and things got pretty serious between us. This all happened 3 months ago as of today. My how time flies. Neither of us were looking for anything serious. We liked being with each other and talking. There wasn't a day that went by that we didn't talk. I feel like I've been on my phone more these last couple months than I ever have.
We went on ice cream dates, we go on a date to Bridal veil falls, he came over to celebrate my birthday with me, we decided to be exclusive, he cheers me on for my half marathon, halloween party with his family- meet some of his family, movie dates, meet more of his family, have Sunday family dinners with them, watch football games together, get invited over to Thanksgiving, go hot tubing, family Christmas dinner/party, ward Christmas party, meet some extended family, invited over for Christmas morning festivities, get a pair of matching pjs with the family, included in all family traditions, dinners with the family after working all day, New years events with the family- movie, Martinelli's, and fireworks, and ringing in the new year with his family.
All of this leads to the fact that we got engaged yesterday before I went off for work. Almost 3 months from the time we started dating we're engaged. Now in about 3 months time we'll be getting married.
