Yesterday (Oct. 27, 2011) my Best Friend Amber Carnes, my maid of honor, came over to help plan for the Wedding and Bridal Shower. We got a lot of things planned, like food, decorations, invitations, and other fun things. It is good that we have things planned now because we can actually go shopping for stuff and get things together. David, I think, was pretty much bored and didnt feel adequate enough to help so in the meantime he fell asleep and took a nap.
The date for the Bridal Shower is Jan. 7, 2012 and the Wedding date is Jan. 28, 2012.

The Proposal
So everyone is probably wondering how it all happened when we got engaged. Well here is the story from my point of view (This is Elissa speaking).
Saturday afternoon on October 15, 2011, David and I went up to Crestline to take down the sticky notes on the wall, that I put up in surprise to his mission homecoming, in his room. It took a while but we finished it. John (David's cousin) was happy about it, lol (he's living in the room now). It was just about dinner time when we finished, but David had planned a meal to cook together up there at Wendy's (David's aunt). So we made chicken wraps and a broccoli salad. We ate it with juice boxes and m.'n.m cookies. It was very good. Then we went on a night Hike. I love going on night hikes!
When we got to the top and to a spot David had picked out, he had me sit down on a log while he set up something; I didn't look because it was a surprise. When he was done there was a string of Christmas lights between 2 trees. He used a battery to power them. Then he set up some small speakers with an mp3 player, too. We danced! I Love Dancing too! Haha. We danced to some slow songs and some fast ones too. It was wonderful. Then the last 2 songs were slow ones. The very last one was the song I wrote (I wrote it and a friend of ours put music to it and sang. The song is copyrighted). I was very happy. The date was amazing, but that's not the end of it. After my song played, he called my name out, said I love you while getting down on one knee. Then he took my hand started putting a ring on it and said "Will You Marry Me?"
I couldn't believe it was happening. It felt unreal, I was so happy. I started crying and I said "YES! Yes I will!" Then he got up and we hugged/kissed. I told him I Love You. I couldn't stop smiling. After that I helped him take down the lights and speakers. Once everything was put back into the backpack, we hiked back down. We went up Boyfriend/Girlfriend and came back fiances.
It was one of the Best Hikes I had ever gone on. I will never forget it!
Well since then we have set a date, made an appointment at the Temple we are getting sealed in, reserved the Church building for the reception, and started our Registration of gifts. We already have our colors picked out too. Now its just getting all the other things. We are still excited and know that time will go by so quickly. Oh, its the beginning of a new chapter in our lives. I love it.
