ATTENTION 6TH WARD: MAY CONTAIN SPOILERS FOR SUNDAY.


That being said... I'm engaged, I'm engaged and I don't care who knows it!! Here is the story... so.... Mike came over yesterday (Friday) and we ate some pizza at my house and then we left for rock climbing. We went up to 9th street and there was a group up there already of like 6 people or so on the climbs we wanted to do. So we went up higher and hooked up to one up there. Mike wanted to climb first and he tried but didn't make it up. So I climbed it and made it to the top and then came down. By then the larger group had left and another had come but they were throwing in by us. So we went down and hooked the rope up to the climb Mike can do. So I belayed and he climbed and then on his way down he said "Em I want you to do this climb" and I told him no cuz I've done that climb a million times and he said "I'll be mad all day if you don't do this climb" so I said okay I'd do it. Just to make him happy. LOL. So he gets down and I tie in and he is belaying me and I climb up really fast and on the way up he is like "oh man November is going to be so good!" and I kinda got mad and said "Mike it makes me so mad when you say that! Quit it!" or something like that and then I got to the top and when you get to the top you are supposed to kiss the caribeaner before you get down. So I quickly kissed the beaner and then I said "okay now let me down" and he said "did you look at the bolts?" and I said no and my first thought was he messed with the caribeaners up there and undid one so it wasn't safe. LOL. Anyway so I looked at the bolts.. AND MY RING WAS HOOKED TO THE BOLTS ON A CARIBEANER! Wow!! I definitely didn't see it coming! My first thought was.. "Wow! Is that REAL?!" So then I can't really remember what I was saying down to Mike but it was something like "Mike is that REALLY my ring?! Like REALLY?!" and then I sat there for a few minutes cuz I couldn't wrap my head around it, I thought I was getting it in a few months. So then he asks if I'm ready to come down and I told him no give me a few seconds. Then I told him I was just going to hop over the top and climb down the back. He already likes to tease me that I didn't belay down. Anywho. So I unhook and start going down the back and he starts coming up. We meet halfway and he takes the ring and kneels down and says "Emily, will you marry me?" and I said yes the first time (none of that second time around crap like my mom ;) ).. and that is my story!! He did a super good job picking it out, he did a really good job! I love it!! And now I have a wedding to plan! Hooray!!
