How Billy Proposed....

Workout:

-10 miles 1% incline 7:26 average pace.  I don't know what is with this week but running has been feeling extra good and fun.....Billy might be putting a little white powder in my broccoli or something.

-Teach spin tonight....Wahoo.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

We are coming up on our two year anniversary since Billy made the best decision he has ever made, to spend his life with a crazy, add, ocd, hormonal, dramatic weirdo.

I know this is a running/food blog but whatever I am feeling mushy/gushy right now and I want to share with you the best thing that has ever happened to me.....knowing I get to be with this boy forever.ever.

First, let's back up.  We met in the church parking lot and the first time I saw him I told my roommate, "I will make-out with him." Pure infatuation.

He asked for my phone number on facebook two days later and we were together every single day after that.

Our first picture ever together.   I pretty much knew I wanted to marry him after a few dates ha crazy estrogen getting all sentimental on me.  My family fell in love with Billy the first time they met him.  My brother and him were best friends at the beginning and my parents loved him so much they made sure he came on all of our family vacations.  (Eastern Caribbean Cruise photo below).

Fast forward to the proposal a year and a half later.

-Billy told me that he was going to Cali to look at diamonds:) I was so excited but super bummed he was leaving for a whole weekend....fyi I am a VERY dependent person.

He showed me the plane ticket, itinerary and even invited me to go but I had work Saturday night as a waitress, so I couldn't go with him.  He 'left' to Cali and called to tell me he landed a few hours later with 'sounds of the airport' from youtube playing in the background.  His parents even called telling me they missed me and that they were on the way to go pick him up at the airport.  I was CONVINCED Billy was in California.

My roommate (now sis-in-law, she married my brother) told me she wanted to lift my spirits by taking me to Salt Lake City (30 minutes North) to go try on wedding dresses.  She told me that afterwards we would be going to a fancy restaurant that her friend worked at and she was going to hook us up.

I went to the gym after school and came home late, didn't shower (why would I? Billy was 2,000 miles away), threw on a dress and heals and left with Jamie.  She made me put on a dress because it was a fancy restaurant....I just wanted to wear sweats.

We had a blast trying on dresses but I thought the proposal was still a ways off so I didn't really think much of it.

After that she drove me up the canyon to a restaurant called 'Log Haven.'

-Seriously, this restaurant was so fancy and gorgeous.  It is a ginormous steak/seafood lodge looking thing that fancy people eat at.  The valet took our car and knew our names.  I was confused.  Then the host greeted us and started taking us right away to our table......

Jamie (roomie and now sis-in-law) said she had to go potty and left me.....confused again.

The host took me outside to the back in the middle of winter.....confused even more.

Billy was standing there in front of a ginormous waterfall in a suit with roses.

I freaked out and kept saying, 'but you are in cali?!?!'

He proposed and it was perfect.

Don't mind the grown out nails. This reminded me of the days that I had money to get my nails did....someday:)

Thanks for reading about my life.  I feel like you are my new best friends so I have to share absolutely everything with you.
