I AM ENGAGED!!












So this is a long over due post. but i am engaged!!! i am getting married on August 1st. i am so excited. His name is Devan Vowell. we met through a mutual friend and the rest is history. we became engaged on May 20th. Here is the story of our engagement: earlier that day i was attacked by a stray cat which i then had to get a tetnus shot and had to be put on antibiotics. i was sore and tired and i had to go to work. well devan came and pick me up from work and asked me to ride with him to his brothers house i said okay , i was being a brat in the car well he gets to greenfield and pecos where the new temple will be built and pulls off the road. he wanted to see where the temple was going to be built, but when we pulled over i was like we do not need to pull over the temple is going to be right there there is no point to stop. so he gets on the road and flips around and pulls of again, at this point i was tired and getting alittle annoyed so i was like why did you pull over. devan was like you drive tosses me the keys and gets out of the car. i say no and throw the keys back to the drivers seat. he comes around to my side of the car and i let him know there was no way i was getting out. he opens the door and gets down on one knee and asks me to marry him. the first thing i said was did you ask my dad? i know i am a dork but after he said he did i said YES!!! that weekend we went to my arrington reunion and he was officially accpeted into the family. then the following wednesday my grandma arrington passed away unexpectantly. what a pleasing it is to have the church in my life to know that i will be with my family for eternity. i am so grateful my grandma was able to get to know devan. a couple of weeks prior to her passing i went up north with her and coming back we were playing yatzee and she was getting mad at me and joking around she said "i am going to die before you get married" a week later i got engaged i called her up and asked her if she needs to start planning her funeral cause i am engaged, well a week later she passed away unexpectantly.. who would of known i keep telling myself it was just a joke but then i think was it a preperation... i know my grandma wont be here physically for my wedding but spiritually she will be here. here are some pictures i will update again soon... oh yea i will be moving back into my gilbert house!!!!
