It's Official!

On Tuesday night, Ian Finlay surprised me by flying to Utah and asked me to marry him! After getting over the shock of seeing him I said yes! So we are now officially engaged to be married on May 29th in Salt Lake City, Utah. We are excited to end this long distance relationship and start a new life together.



For those who would like to read the entire, long story keep reading. If not, just keep scrolling down to see the rest of the pictures of the night.

Unknown to me, Ian flew into town on Tuesday night from California. While his sister and my roommate were creating a romantic setting downstairs, I was shopping with my sister who called and suddenly "needed" help shopping for her own wedding dress. On returning home from the shopping excursion, I went upstairs to talk with Ian over Skype as we usually do. He asked me to go downstairs and get something out of his bag for an application. I had been storing his things in my basement for the week until he could move into a new apartment the following weekend. When I arrived downstairs, I found a trail of roses into the room. Ian was waiting around the corner on his knees (yes both knees) ready to pop the question. After getting over the shock of seeing Ian during the week, I said yes!
