The Engagement

So it finally happened! The much anticipated (mostly by my impatience) engagement is finally official! So I am going to start blogging things about our engagement as it goes along.  This is my first time blogging so I don't really know what I am doing. haha  Well Yesterday February 26, 2011 I was down at Trent's in the morning, and as he was getting ready for the day I was sitting upstairs at the kitchen table just talking with his mom Claudeen (my future mother-in-law) yay!! She is such a sweet lady, I can't wait to be apart of the Burke family, and Trent to be apart of my family. :)  So as we were talking Trent came upstairs and was like, "We have to go pick up Nick (Trent's main man) from the temple at 1." I was like "Are you serious?  His family can't pick him up?"  I was planning on going up to the valley all day and just doing Homework! Trent was like, "No we can just  go up to your place you can get all pretty and then we can just go down and pick him up real quick."  So I rolling my eyes said, "alright fine." So we went up to my house and I got all ready and Trent kept saying, "okay you ready to go now?" and I was like, "we have like 10 more minutes. He won't be out, we have time."  So finally we left at about 12:30 and went down to the Ogden temple where it was super busy! Trent said, "Okay he isn't out yet, because he hasn't called me. So I am just going to park the car and we can go and walk around while we are waiting for him." So I was just like, "okay sounds fun let's do it." I totally wasn't even suspecting it though all the signs were there, but I thought he hadn't asked my parents yet so I thought in my mind there is no way it could happen, he is just getting my hopes up.  So as we started walking around to the front of the temple, he looked at me and said, "I can't wait to be with you forever." and "I can't wait to take you to the temple."  As we walked to the front there was this cute little platform that was in the middle of the fountains and right in front of the temple.  He walked me out there and we were looking up at the temple, then he looked down at me and said, "Brandee I love you so much." so I replied, "Trent I love you too. So much."  Then he said, "I know you wanted to get married at this temple, but I thought this would be just as good."  right then it triggered in my mind what was happening.  He got down on his knee and pulled out the ring and said, "Brandee will you marry me?" So me having that deep Stokes blood in me started to cry.  It was such an overwhelming moment! So I said "Of course." I can't wait to spend the rest of my life plus eternity with Trent! He is the man that I have always wanted! I love him so much and I can't wait to tackle all the adventures we will have together!
And here are some good pictures of the ring.
