Friday, November 12, 2010 was the day that Nic and I were finally engaged!! After about 6 months of dating, we finally decided to tie the knot and move to the next
stage in our lives. We went ring shopping about 3 weeks ago and found one that we absolutely loved!
He got it about a week ago without me even knowing! I just wanted to get engaged so bad!On Friday, Nic told me that he and his roommate wanted
to get people together to go take his huge suburban out for one last run. I honestly didn't want to go! I was just dreading twirling in circles in the mud while grabbing onto the door handles for dear life. Nic finally convinced me to come so off we went!
We all got in the car and started to drive until Kolten, Nic's roommate, said that we should go to the ice caves. So, off to the ice caves we went. (This was where our first date was.)
As we were driving, Nic was acting SO strange. He would look at me
and smile with the cutest, most scared smile ever. I was so confused!
We got to the Caves and Kolten and all of their friends went into the ice caves while Nic and I were outside of
them. I look behind the suburban and Nic was putting out a camping chair for me to sit on. I sat down while I heard him
turning on some music. It was all music that we've loved and listened to over the past six months. As he came back to me, he brought over a blanket and laid it on top of me. I looked down and it was embroidered with "Nic and Heather".
I thought it was SO cute. He then continued to show me that all around the edge of the blanket was how we met, where we met, and all the things we've done together.
On the very last word of the blanket, Nic told me that
before he could show it to me, he had to say something. He then gave me his adorable little speech and knelt down on one knee and showed me the words. It said, "Will you marry me?" I just started to bawl and I though it was the sweetest thing ever! I said of course, and now we're here! :)
I am so lucky to be engaged to the most amazing man. He is the most genuine and kind person that I know, and I can't believe I get to be the girl that gets to spend eternity with him. I can't wait for the next few months to fly by so we can finally be sealed for all time and eternity. We are SO happy and can't wait for all that life has in store for us. :)
