I got home from working my sixty hour week and Travis had cleaned up my apartment and put flowers on the table. He had Cheesecake Factory's Chicken Tostada Salad with the best spinach artichoke dip ever!!!!! We ate dinner then talked on the couch and let our food settle before we dug into the Chocolate fudge Brownie with Vanilla ice cream. He wouldn't let me go into my bedroom so I was curious the whole time. The time then came when he let me go into my bedroom. When I opened the door there was a red carpet laid out which ended at a standing floor mirror that I have wanted for a long time! On either side of the red carpet were stands which held pictures and candles on the right and purple flowers and candles on the left. He sat me down and had our three favorite songs playing. The first picture was a picture of us and people from work before we ever really hung out or anything. In fact at that time we didn't even really know each other that well. He related that to one of our songs and told me what the picture meant with our songs. He then went on to the next picture and each picture with what he said to me was like a timeline of our relationship. I could recap our whole relationship and feel how strong of a connection we have always had as well as how happy we are.
On the other side he had all the cards and poems I had written him as well as what he had given me.
When I first told Travis I loved him I felt so strong about it I had a little trouble just coming out and saying it. Because I was so nervous I wrote down how I felt and went through the pages and had him read it out loud. Well....he had those papers that I wrote and had me read what I wrote to him. He then made his own papers which he read to me and at the end he asked me to MARRY HIM! Of course I said yes. I was so happy and filled with so much emotion I am getting teary eyed right now. Then....he bought two mirrors because he didn't know which color I wanted but anyways it was part of his plan hehe. He put the mirrors together and told me to look into them and asked me what I saw. I said well the mirrors keep going. He said well this resembles us for eternity! I was so moved and completely touched. He then said we are unified in which he brings this box and it's a DIAMOND NECKLACE!!!!! I could not believe it. He wanted to surprise me with something! The spinach artichoke dip was a surprise to me that evening I couldn't believe he did all this and then bought me a necklace! Travis then put the ring on my finger. The ring is absolutely stunning! He recapped so much and made me feel so special. I am so blessed and super excited for our future. I prayed for my husband since I was fifteen and I believe that God gave him to me in the most extraordinary way. I have always believed in prayer and now I am blessed with a spouse who will pray with me, go to church, raise a family with values and a healthy spiritual home. I get to share my life with someone who is appreciative for everything he has, loving, spiritual, smart, and ridiculously good looking hehehe. I am so excited.
With all the excitement we decided that the best time for us to get married would be at his family reunion. Soooo.....two weeks from tomorrow I am getting married! Tomorrow I am going to look for a dress and then Travis and I are going to go to the movies =). Well well.....Ohhhhh I almost forgot. The Sunday after Travis proposed he spend all day making a book with pictures and everything he said to me. We now will have a book which we can share with everyone so they can see just how incredible it was.
I hope everyone has a great weekend!

Hey I know I've commented a bunch already, but we were wondering how to dress for the wedding. Any certain colors and stuff?
I was very happy to her the good news from your Mom. it sounds like you two are a perfect match.
A wedding during a family reunion sounds like perfect idea when there are so many relatives.
I'll be with you in spirit as a Fabing family member. Having had a wonderful time in Salt Lake City during a National Parks Tour in 2006, I can think back to the exciting Mormon experience we had and feel part of your wedding.
Love, Aunt Barbara
Congratulations to you both!
So happy that you've found each other. The proposal sounds like a Disney movie!
Wish we could be at your wedding, but know we'll be there in our hearts.
Love & Prayers
Uncle Tony & Aunt Bonnie
