..I Said Yes!

The Story that some have been anxiously waiting to hear.

About two or three weeks ago Trevor took me to this cute little family owned jewelry store. His dad had been going there for years, and I can tell why. They are the nicest, real, happy sales people I know. We looked for a good amount of time, and I picked out three rings that I would love to have. There was one that shined (literally) another the rest. I fell in love with it instantly. It was a little more expensive, so I was glad that I fell in love with another one too. I left the choice up to Trevor, and was going to let him decide.
A week ago, Trevor and his twin made a trip to the same jeweler again. He came home with a little white paper in his pocket, and I was not allowed to look at it. He showed me half of it, and that's when I knew it was from the jeweler. I wasn't sure if he had bought it yet so I just played it cool!
He told me that they will take until after Christmas to finish the ring, if had even bought one. I believed him. I didn't think anything of it, until I was talking to his sister about it and she said that he is telling you its not this weekend because maybe it is this weekend! That got me nervous, but still didn't want to get my hopes up. (I always tend to play into things way to much, so i didn't want to do it this time)
Christmas eve morning he had to go pick up a Nativity scene for his dad. So I met up with him later to watch a Bronco's football game.
Christmas came around, and he suggested that we should open up gifts later that night that way we can do it alone when everything calms down. I had a feeling it was going to happen, but didn't want to get my hopes up. We had dinner, and hung around for a bit, and then finally other guest left. His mom left the room, Nikki (his sister) asked Tyler and Kenz to go downstairs to watch a movie.
We went into the living room where the Christmas tree was shining, and I asked who wanted to go first. Trevor volunteered to open his gifts from me first. I gave him a Utah Jazz hat, sweatshirt, and tickets to the Spurs game. He then gave me the box that had a purse in it. I was expecting boots so I asked him where they were. He said, "I couldn't quite get them this year." He then reached around his back and showed me a small box wrapped with a pretty bow on top. He gave it to me, and started to freak out a bit. I couldn't open it. I told him that he was freaking me out!! Inside that box was another box. He then grabbed it, went down on one knee, said some really nice things. (sounded like he kinda choked up a bit, or it was just the nerves) He then asked me to marry him. I of course said yes. I have never shaked so much in life. I hugged him, and didn't want to let go. We kissed, and I held back tears. We then went to go show everyone in Trevor's family.
They were waiting on the stairs, and his mom burst out of her room camera in hand. Nikki, Tyler, and Kenzie came running upstairs. I got some really big hugs. We took pictures, sat and talked. We then decided to go show my parents. I almost started crying when Nikki said we were going to be sisters-in-law.
We drove up to my parents house. My sister was still there, and my Aunt and Uncle were there too. Everyone screamed, and gave me hugs. My mom was really excited!!
That night while I was praying to my Heavenly Father is when I finally cried. I was just so thankful for everything. Then I felt that my mom was in my room, telling me how proud she is of me, and that she approves of Trevor. (she also was ooing and awing over my ring)
The next morning is when it finally sank in that I was getting married. I cried again.
I was so grateful that everyone was in town for it. My whole family, and Trevor's whole family. I feel so lucky to have found such a fantastic guy. I am grateful that we get to be sealed together in the temple, and live together for eternity. That means an Eternity of him tickling me feet :)
I can't wait to start this next journey in my life!!
I LOVE YOU TREVOR!!
