I'm Engaged!

After dating for over 4 years, Tyler finally proposed! We had planned on spending Thanksgiving apart this year, so Wednesday night I drove to Republic by myself. I woke up Thursday morning (Thanksgiving), got ready, and we were about to eat when my grandpa asked me to get the door. Immediately I knew something was up - why would I get the door? Tyler was standing on the doorstep and asked me to come out there with him. I said, "Oh my gosh!" and started crying, of course. He got on one knee and gave his little speech (which later I found out was very long and thoughtful, but he shortened it a bit) and I said, "OK!!!" Ha ha... not "yes!" or "of course!" but, "OK!" So now we're thinking instead of "I do" at our wedding we'll say, "Ok." Ha ha. So the whole time we were on the front step, I could hear clicking coming from his car, and out of the corner of my eye I thought I saw a camera poking out of the window, so I asked him, "who's in your car?" and he said, "my whole family!" So out poured Steve (who was taking pictures), Carol and Geoff! It was so fun to have both of our families there - and I never imagined the Fischbacks would be in Republic, WA! So we all went in, I calmed down a bit and gave everyone hugs, and we talked about how they all kept it a secret for so long - he had been planning this for over a month! And I had no idea.

Here's a picture of him putting the ring on my finger. I LOVE it, he did such a great job & it's exactly what I would have picked out myself! Click here to see my Facebook photo album.
