Future Mrs. Dutton!

So I am officially the future Mrs. Dutton!  I am so extremely happy!   I don’t think there is a luckier girl in the world than me! I am one hundred percent head over heels  in love!  Sounds so cheesy huh, I never thought I would be the girl who was the “I’m in love blah blah blah”  But  I so am!  Bryan makes me so happy its ridicules!  I don’t know how he does it, to be able to put up with me takes a strong person!   I am so happy that we have been able to date for so long and truly develop a great friendship and love for one another! Its almost been a year since we first started dating  and it has been a blast!  We have done so many fun things, I am spoiled! 

So here is the “Story” ….. Well it all started in the first part of January, we started to meet with the bishop about getting a temple clearance. (Bryan was married before so we have to get the first presidency’s approval to get sealed in the temple) So we have been getting the paper work ready and everything and I have been patiently waiting for it to become official.  When I say patiently waiting that is kind of a lie J I got a little impatient the last two weeks or so.  I mean give a girl a brake I am a girl that is in love right?!?! Anyways so I Bryan was very good a deferring any hints of when the ring was coming.  He had to but up with my prying and whining and begging for info.  But he didn’t budge.  And maybe just maybe I got a little grumpy from time to time about the whole situation , I will admit I was a bit testy the last few days but its because he told me it was going to take longer than he thought. 

So on Sunday night the 13th Bryan had roses in his hand when he  got off work.  He proceeded to lie I mean explain to me that he was sorry I wasn’t going to get my ring for Valentines day.  Then he pulled out a ring pop to satisfy me until Thursday or later.  He also said that he was going to take me to lunch since we both had to work at different times on valentines day so we wouldn’t even have much time together.  So when Monday came around and we went to lunch I had no clue or inkling that he was going to propose to me!  Apparently he drove out to McCammom that morning to talk to my dad and get the seal of approval.  I am not sure what those two talked about but all that matters is my dad said yes ; )

So we went up to Applebees for lunch.  It was sweet because that is where we had our first date, we even got to sit in the same booth!  Well lunch was yummy and nothing to eventful, well that is until the check came.  While I was busy boxing up food Bryan ran to the bathroom and came back ready to pay.  He looked at the ticked and was like “honey take a look at this, its more expensive than I thought it would be”  And of corse me being in my own little world wasn’t really paying attention and was like oh yeah hmm ok. Then he slid it over to me and said why do you take a look.  So I opened it and low and behold what did I find  but the most gorgeous diamond ring! 

I just sat there and stared at it.  For once in my life I was speechless!  I could feel the tears coming but they were pushed back because of the big smile that was on my face.  Bryan then  put the ring on my finger and asked me to marry him!  I said YES! I still sat there for a minute stund so much I couldn’t think straight!
After a very amazing lunch I sadly had to go back to work.  I can tell you this, I didn’t get much work done because I was distracted by the bling on my finger!

So we are shooting for May 13th in the Logan Utah temple if everything goes smoothly with the temple clearance.  We both are very excited!  We also would like to thank everyone for their support! So the next three months are going to be crazy busy with planning and exciting activities!  I mostly cant wait to be Mrs. Bryan Dutton for eternity!

Mandy we are sooooooooooooo excited for you guys! Scott's been asking Bryan for months now when he was going to give you a ring! We were both asking that pretty much the day after we met you! I would have texted congratulations to you but it was Valentines Day and I didn't want to interupt anything. . . :)
