Post Overdue and ENGAGED!!

I realize some of you might be wondering why I haven't announced some very important information into the blogging world ;) Or maybe you haven't wondered, but regardless...

I'M ENGAGED!!!

MAY 22, 2009
Salt Lake Temple


On February 16th (President's Day) the cutest, sweetest boy in the world asked me to marry him, and I said yes!

Landon Essig and I were connected by my little brother Scott last May, and we talked on the phone almost every night for about a month and a half before we finally met face to face! We met in person on July 4, 2008, and have pretty much been together since then... Well figuratively that is... We have been the king and queen of long distance!

Our relationship...


Started as a Utah--California relationship...

Moved to an Ogden--Logan relationship...

Spent a month as a Utah--Europe relationship...

And has spent time as a Heber--Centerville, Boise--Logan relationship...

As we like to say... "Convenient" isn't really a word in our ship... We like to make it as tricky as we can I guess--(and spend as much gas money as we can)


Anyway, 8 months later, we finally figured it out and put a ring on it ;) haha... Kind of crazy how life goes, but I surely love him so much, and we're so excited to start our own little Essig family and grow old together! (And, in our case, grow up together too!) :)
