So I just thought that I would add my two cents about the registering! First of all three hours in Bed Bath and Beyond is more time than any man should have to endure, okay so it wasn't that bad and I think Haley was ready to go long before I was. But it was still a way long time. We looked at everything. To the point that I when I called my parents on my drive home to Layton, they were telling me about how a family friend was getting married that day and that they had got her some thing that had a cake pan and a carrier, I informed them that they had purchased a three piece Corningwear set with carrier and that it could be found in the kitchen gadget section on an end cap for $40. I know it just isn't right that I know that. The other thing that freaked me out was how much stuff cost! So I know we picked out some nice pillowcases but $30 for two pillow cases come on! (Please someone by them, and even more important buy us our pillows they are so sweet!!!)
Anyways we did register for a ton of stuff. And for those of you looking for some info BBB has all the stuff we need. Target is just the fun stuff mostly which is why you should all go there first LOL. No that stuff would be fun but I am kind of a freak about kitchen appliances so I am pretty excited about that too.

Who Knew?
Since we FINALLY finished school for the year, John and I decided we would start working a little harder on wedding stuff and try to get most of it out of the way before he leaves for Arizona. We decided today would be a good day to try and register because we had no other plans. We were both pretty excited to go and use the scanner-thingy. Little did we know that registering would take us around 4 hours! By the time we were done, we walked up to the registry desk completely exhausted! I'm pretty sure I've never made that many decisions in one day in my entire life! Just as we were getting done, there were about 10 new couples who had just come to the store, and John and I just kinda laughed, cause they all looked so happy to be there. Who knew that walking around a store scanning stuff could be so completely exhausting! Anyway, go check out our registry at Bed Bath and Beyond and if you really want, we registered for a few things at Target too!

The Proposal
So John always tells me that it's my job to tell the story of how we got engaged, because apparently I tell it better... haha. So here I go...
When John had finally convinced me that I should probably marry him, he went to Salt Lake to talk to my dad and make sure my parents were okay with the idea. The following weekend, he went to the jewelery store with his dad and looked at the ring that I had picked out when we had been ring shopping. I had no idea he was planning on proposing so soon, because he had convinced me that it was going to be a while before he could buy the ring. Little did I know that he would propose two days later :)
The following Monday was the first really nice day that we had had in a LONG time. It was finally sunny again, and John kept telling me that we should go to the park after FHE that night because it was such a nice day. He told me that he had a study session to go to before FHE, and I still don't know why I believed him, because he never goes to those study sessions, but for some reason I did. Of course he was going to pick up my ring... haha. When he got back, he kept telling me that he hoped FHE was short, because he really wanted to go to the park :) Lucky for him, FHE lasted about 5 minutes, because no one showed up and then he drove me to the park. He seemed a little dissapointed, because there were a MILLION kids running around and their parents kept looking at us like we were retarded for stealing the swings. We sat on the swings for a while just talking and laughing. I randomly decided that he should go down the giant tube slide, just cause I thought it would be funny, but he came up with some lame-o excuse that he was too tall and said that I should go down instead. He asked if he should catch me at the bottom and I told him that he should, and he said that when I was at the top that I should wait for a second haha. When I got to the bottom, he was down on one knee with the ring box in his hand, and we both just kinda sat there for a second as I realized what was going on! He asked if I would marry him and I said yes, and he put my beautiful ring on my finger! He stood up and I hugged him, and then we looked around at all of the little kids and their parents and decided that we should probably go, even though they weren't quite looking at us like we were retarded anymore, more like they were uber surprised. We spend that night visiting friends and talking on the phone and I smiled the entire time! I remember feeling a million different emotions that night, because I was excited and surprised, but scared at the same time. The big day is coming up quick and hopefully we'll have enough time to have everything ready by then!
