I'm Engaged!

Well, it's official. I've been "unofficially" engaged for a while, meaning I have a dress (that I'm still paying for...but I found one!), and we had a date, and my mom has madly been going along and planning for me. Thank goodness for veto power! But she's been super helpful, and I'm glad that she's so great at planning otherwise between Scott and I, I'm not sure anything would get done. :) No pictures of the actual event with this one, they're all on the Sackett's camera, but as soon as I can I'll get those up I will! We actually have a video, so that'll be fun to share. Although I probably look awful!

We'd had plans to go to Scott's families FHE for annual pumpkin carving, so I was all excited because I love the gutting of pumpkins. I think the really gross gooey stuff is awesome. So I called that job when we got there. As we're carving, aparantly he'd wrapped the ring in saran wrap and they'd cut out the bottom and put it in there. Of course, I'm me. I'm engrosesd in the gross gooey stuff and pull the ring out 2-3 times without even noticing it's there. So, Scott keeps putting it back in, which I amazingly also don't notice. Do I get points for being observant or what? Finally, when the pumpkin is all cleaned out, Scott puts it in so I actually notice, seeing wrapped round things are not normally found in pumpkins. I'm at least observant to things that are right in front of my face! I unwrapped it while Scott got down on one knee, while his dad was videotaping (I thought he was just taking picutres, but having it on tape is actually pretty fun), and asked if I would marry him. I think my reply was more of a "uh huh" than an actual "yes" but that still counts, right? So, it's official! I have a beautiful ring and I'm super super happy!
