The Engagement.
(Guess who hates Blogger right now because she had a whole long post and Blogger just deleted it.
The Trip
Most of you probably already know that Mitch and I went down to California this last weekend so that Mitchell could meet my family, etc. We left Thursday afternoon and got back late, late, late Sunday night/early, early, early Monday morning.
I had trip details written but... alas, Blogger hates me and I really don't have time right now to retype it all.
The Father
Friday night we went to The Magic Castle in Hollywood with my parents. We figured (and were right) it would be a good chance for Mitch to get to know my parents and them to get to know him. On the drive home, my dad mentioned that he was going to be gone most of the day Saturday so, despite his original plan to ask my dad some time Saturday, Mitch ended up talking to my dad after the Castle-- at like, 2 in the morning. All in all though, it went well since, after a long talk, my dad gave him permission to marry me.
The Proposal
Saturday night Mitch took me to dinner at Duke's in Malibu. The restaurant is right on the beach and our table was on the patio with the waves crashing on the rocks right next to us. Afterwards, Mitch and I went and sat on the sand watching the waves and looking at the stars (despite LA being known for having so many lights that there are no stars, we were far enough away from the city lights that there were tons of stars). And that's where he proposed.
The Ring
Okay. For the record, I never wanted to be one of those girls that posts picture of her ring but, so many people have asked to see the ring that I now understand why girls do it.

Okay. For the record, I never wanted to be one of those girls that posts picture of her ring but, so many people have asked to see the ring that I now understand why girls do it.
It's a 1 carat round solitaire in the center with four little diamonds on each side. Then, there are eight diamonds on the top of the band and eight diamonds below the band. Also, there's a wedding band with nine more diamonds but, obviously I don't get that until we get married.
Several people have asked if Mitch knows what he's getting himself into by marrying me-- I should think so.
The Couple
And, finally, a picture of the two of us outside my parents' house, just before we left on the long drive back to Utah.
