I'm engaged!


Yup, it became official on Saturday...Even though most of you knew before then, haha.

I had so much fun this weekend meeting my future in-laws. They are all great and so much fun.
Tyler and I flew into Oakland on Friday night. His parents picked us up, and took us into San Fransisco because I was pretty fascinated by the "Full House Bridge", aka the Golden Gate Bridge. We went to dinner at a place called Max's and it was so yummy, but reeeally expensive. We got some cheesecake to go, but I never did get to eat any of it! Then, they took me to drive over the bridge. I seriously was so excited. As we were driving up all the hills in SF, I was searching for THE Full House house, but it was no where to be seen, man.

When we got to Tyler's hometown, we got all settled in, then Tyler took me on a little tour of the town and showed me all the cool hang out spots when he was younger.

On Saturday morning, we woke up at 5 am and drove to the beach! It was SO pretty there, I was so excited to stick my feet in the sand. Too bad it was like -4363564 degrees. We were FREEZING! But, we decided to stick it out and have the picnic anyway. We ate bagels and fruit as we watched the sun rise. It was so amazing. Then, he got out some roses...We were playing the whole "he loves me he loves me not" game, and inside my rose was my ring! He got down on one knee and told me how great I was (which, I already knew of course! Just kidding) and asked me to marry him. I said yes, of course.
Then, he got out some glasses that his parents had packed for us. They were the glasses that they had their first wedding toast to, and they wanted us to have them. It was so sweet.

After that, we went to the farmer's market...SO COOL. I had a lot of fun watching all the weird people.

We ended up going to his nieces softball game, where I met his sister. She was so great. I liked her from the second I met her. She's 17 years older than me, but we got along great.

Later that day I met his brother, who was also great. He has two little girls and a baby boy. They are all DARLING. It was actually one's baptism, so it was cool to be there with the whole family. Afterward, we went back to his house and played. Okay, I played... Everyone else was talking but the girls wanted to play, so of course I couldn't pass that up.

On Sunday, we went to church and I met a million people and was really really fake. haha, but luckilly I made it through. We went home and my future nieces were all there. We played kitchen, again. We also ate dinner, where Tyler's brother decided to give me the present he had made me... A giant dinosoar poo he made me! I was honored, to say the least.

So, yeah my weekend was great and I can officially say that I'm engaged now! Yipeee. Let the planning begin..

Yay for you! I'm so glad that you posted this whole story. I guess that's one less thing for me to grill you about this weekend. ;)
