So Mike proposed to me on Saturday and on Sunday I had to pack for a work trip. Leaving so soon after becoming the future Mrs. Johnson was really, really hard! I believe I even whined.
The trip was long and...long. But I made it back in one piece and Mike and I got to spend some quality time together.
For those of you who want to know "The Story"... Mike had texted me earlier in the day to see what my plans were, I told him I was going shopping with my sisters and that our dinner plans (with friends) had been canceled due to unforeseen events.
I found out later that while I was shopping he drove up to my house and asked my dad for my hand 
He then told me that we were going to hang out with his friend Jason that night. When he picked me up we went out to dinner at Mimi's Cafe (note: the chef salad at Mimi's is gigantic...I swear they use an entire head of lettuce). Then we started heading back up to Jason's house. We were playing with his MP3 player in the car and after what seemed like a long time, I was about to ask Mike if he had missed Jason's house when he said, hmmm...I missed Jason's house. Then he kept going I asked him if he just didn't want to turn around, but he said that we weren't in a hurry so we'd take the scenic route. He pulled into the parking lot of the Bountiful Temple and said "I thought we could talk"
Then he told me he loved me and a few other personal (and wonderful) things then he asked me to marry him. I teared up, said yes four times (punctuated with kisses of course) and put the gorgeous ring on my finger. After that we just sat there talking for a minute. Then he drove me all over to tell all my family members that we were engaged. (except Ashley, Skylar, Patrick and Kira who were all down in Orem...sorry guys! But I did call them.) He's such a good man!
The next day we had the chance to officially announce it to his mom and sister (and brother-in-law and niece and nephew). It was great. I'm really excited and I just can't wait.
