WE'RE FINALLY ENGAGED!!!

SO.... After 4 years of dating and Cadens long but wonderful 2 year mission we are finally engaged!!! A few days after Caden got home from Alaksa we started ring shopping. We found one we both agreed on and it was up to Caden from there! He started working towards getting things together and planning it all but I am very curious and impatient so I didnt make it too easy for him. I did make sure that I had make up on and I wasnt in sweats whenever we went anywhere especially to dinner. I also made it very clear to Caden and my mom both that I wanted nails on or at least painted nails before he popped the question. My biggest fear was having people ask to see my ring when I had chippy nails... however to my dismay Caden did such a great job covering his plans that I took off my nail polish that morning! On the morning of the 13th Caden texted me and asked me to go to Park City with him Friday night. I figured I would be ok until Thursday night and then I would prepare myself a little better. BUT I was wrong! My mom had asked to borrow my car for the day so I took Cadens for the day... little did I know they were decorating it! After an amazing dinner and FHoozie at Firehouse we were on our way out to Cadens car and I saw mine towards the end of the parking lot. We ran over to it and I noticed it said "WILL YOU MARRY ME?" on the window. Caden knelt down and proposed while his family and mine watched, video, and took pictures. I was so excited that before he even asked me I kept yelling, "YES YES YES!!" The first thing I did the next morning was get nails.. haha. I am so excited to be engaged to my best friend. I am so grateful for Caden and I cant wait to start our lives together!
