Tid-bits

So just little pieces of info. We are still working with families to come up with a location and date........ sigh, the joys of being engaged..... So no date yet.

As for things we do know- colors! Technically the colors are Midnight blue and a dark red, but really it's a dark blue, lighter than navy blue, and a deep red. I'd personally like all the red to be gerbera daisies, but they are hard to come by in a dark red, not to mention in the winter! oh well.

We also know........ nope, we don't know anything else.. lol. colors are about all that has been decided. Though we are doing pictures this weekend and Daniel is designing the announcements! What a talented guy I'm marrying! :)

So we are working on it and hopefully we will have a time and place! That will be exciting! I'm ready to know that! Then maybe I can finish the rest of the plans......

Till the next entry....

The Engagment Story

So 2 background stories first. Daniel and I started Dating when he came to pick me up and bring me back to school. One night we were talking and Daniel started a story. there was this guy and this girl and they liked each other and he came to pick her up....etc.

Secondly, we go for rides on the bike when we can and often go out to the wheat fields outside of Rexburg and look at the sunset and stars and talk. One night when we were doing this Daniel played music on his phone and we danced out in the middle of nowhere under the stars.

So the actual story...... Tuesday night Daniel wanted to go for a ride. So we went out and rode around for a while and headed out to the fields. We looked at the stars and talked. Then Daniel decided to play music, and we danced and talked... then as we were talking he said... there was this guy and this girl and they liked each other and started dating. then they fell in love and started a new chapter in their life. Then he knelt down on one knee and said, Jessica Elizabeth Ewing, will you marry me? Of course I said yes, as evident.

So there is the story.

The other question I get asked a lot is if I picked out my ring or not. Yes I did. We went to Idaho Falls for a show at Kay's for a specific designer. I found the setting/band I liked and then we got to choose the diamond to go in the middle. I wanted a flat or flush ring and was able to work with them to get one that I liked. Then they put it together, which I got to watch most of that. But I didn't get to see it in the end.. so I picked it out with Daniel, but didn't know what it looked like until I got it.
