my very own christmas miracle

this picture illustrates how i feel right now.

so. i'm engaged. to the man of my dreams. cheesy but true. i couldn't be happier.

here is the juice:
his name is eric lee phillips. he's 25. accounting major at byu (graduates in april). he's from taylorsville (yea he's ghetto its fine ;)). served his mission in connecticuit. and he's a babe.

so it all started about 2 weeks ago when he called my dad to ask if he could meet with him and he referred poor eric to his secretary to set something up because his "next couple weeks are really busy". that became the family joke so needless to say, that didn't stay secret and i knew he was going to talk to my dad last sunday.

i didnt think he was going to propose for a while because i knew he was getting the ring custom made and i knew it wasnt ready yet.

friday night we were going to drive up to salt lake to go see my friend james egan's show but never made it. on the way up we got into a little accident and eric ruined my car. we took my car back to his apartment and took his up to salt lake. we missed the show so we went to his house to "help his mom with the christmas tree" but really he was just getting the ring. we went to go see some christmas lights near his house. we got out to look around and look at them. he was hugging me and then he just got down on his knee and asked me. i thought he was doing another one of his famous "fake proposals" (i know right? who does that?) so i told him to stop and started hitting him. but then he got out the ring and put it on my right hand because he was so nervous it was stinkin adorable. but i still screamed out of pure joyness and jumped into his arms but then he had to remind me that i had to answer him. i said yes. so here we are today.

(this is for cha. this is the nordstrom knockoff but the real one will look pretty much like this. rose gold and sparkly. :) He's so good to me. )

we texted friends, called family and went to my house to see my family and they were gone at the jazz game so we just celebrated just us. and brit. thanks brit. what a pal.

so, i'm getting married. agh! thats the story and i'm so happy. i cant even believe it.

just a little stressed right now because my senior project and portfolio are due on wednesday and they are not even close to being done.

I'm in trouble.
but i cant help it. all i want to do is just look at his little face and do nothing else.

life is beautiful. thanks for all the texts and messages.

April 7, 2011!!!
