Exciting Life Updates
I did have another post planned for today but some exciting life events came up over the weekend and I’d thought I’d share them with you all! Over the Thanksgiving holiday, Brad (my boyfriend of three years) and I got engaged! It still feels completely surreal saying and/or writing those words but I could not be more thrilled. A lot of the details of the engagement I want to keep private, but I will say that it was the most perfect proposal and it really felt so true to us as a couple. We were out on a hike with my sister and her boyfriend and at the end of the hike, as we were taking pictures he got down on one knee and popped the question! I’m incredibly grateful that Brad got my sister and her boyfriend involved in the whole plan to document the entire proposal, I now have a video and pictures I will cherish and look back on for the rest of my life.
Because Brad and I have been together for quite awhile, getting married was something we had talked about for a little while now. As prepared as I thought I was, once Brad got down on one knee, I completely blacked out, something I’ve heard a lot of people talk about in regards to getting proposed to. I almost immediately started crying and was so excited and emotional that I didn’t say the word “yes” out loud immediately, just a quick “mhmmm”! Of course as soon as I regained my control over my emotions I said yes and Brad put the ring on my finger! I am so incredibly excited and happy and while I didn’t think being engaged would feel that different from us dating, it definitely does, and in the best ways possible. It’s been so exciting to spend the last week telling all of our friends and family the news and seeing them get just as excited as us. I am so lucky to have found my person and I cannot wait to see what this next chapter holds.
Of course the next logical question I’m sure all of you have on your minds is: “When’s the wedding?!”, a question I have fielded A LOT in the last week! Simply put: we’re not totally sure! We know that we aren’t in a rush have a wedding, however these things do take quite a bit of time to plan and organize so we will probably start the very basics of planning in the new year. Of course I will be sharing some of the planning along the way but it definitely won’t be the sole focus of my content in 2020.
