In Other September News..

Obviously our engagement was our biggest highlight of September! But we did a few other fun things too!

Kam and I went to Lagoon for Frightmares, well kinda haha. We went to Lagoon early to spend the whole day there and then do Frightmares, but it was so flipping hot! We spent all day standing in lines, in the sun, sweating to death, and by time it was time for Frightmares we were pooped! But we did go through a couple of the attractions but weren't that impressed :/ You see, if you have been to Albion, Frightmares is nothin! We got done going through one of the scariest ones and as we like came to the exit I was like "It's over already? Like this is the exit?! Like that's it?!" Haha so I highly recommend Albion!!

That night we stayed with my cousin in Logan and the next morning went exploring Logan a little bit. Kam lived there a few years ago, so he showed me around a little bit, like Utah State campus, where he went and did his army training, the course the would run for army, the first damn park, and it was kind of funny, as we were driving up the canyon I was like this looks familiar! I'm pretty sure we are heading the way we used to go to get to my Aunt's apartment years ago! And sure enough we pulled into the parking lot of the place we were going to go to breakfast at. and my Aunt's old apartment was right across the road! We,  however, did not go to breakfast there haha it looked kind of busy so we went on up to the damn and to the campus and then tried to go to Angie's a little later.... bad idea! Haha it was sooo busy! People were waiting outside! And my cousin was going to be cooking up some steaks and baked potatoes for us in about an hour to two by this time, so we settled for Village Inn and split an order haha

While we were up at Utah State, I asked Kam if he became a true Aggie while he was going to school there and he hadn't!! So, duh!.. we went and became true Aggies! ;) both of us... even though we don't go to school there ;') is that even legal? ;p
But it was fun!
p.s. Thanks Mac for letting us stay and making us food! :)

This September we also built bird houses

and I made salsa for the first time with Kamerons Mom and sisters! Man, strawberry jam, salsa... I've become a regular homecookin girl... and I absolutely LOVE it!!

At the end of September we took the kids to the corn maze and had fun going down the slides, playing in the corn, jumping on the bouncy corn, and going through the maze! And the next day we went to Boise, got Kam's ring <3, and went to the zoo!

Paige wasn't impressed with the big slide haha

 Oh ya, and I got my wedding dress too <3

September 13, 2018

😂😉September 13, 2018 started off like any other day, at the gym! However, it was the first day back at the gym in a week because a few days prior I had strep and was DOWN! and earlier in the month Kam had broken his thumb 😬

But back to the good stuff! So September 13th, was a Thursday, and like I said, I had been down with strep a few days prior, but felt good enough that I agreed to time a walk through the Twin Falls Corn Maze to see how long it took to get to each check point... or so I thought ;) We ran into Kameron's friend that owns the corn maze back on the 1st of September at the fair and his friend asked us then if we would be willing to come do this "run through", so I thought it was totally legit when Kam said "hey Wyatt is wondering if we can come do that run through today"!

Little did I know that Kam had actually been planning on asking me to marry him on Monday but then realized that he would be at clinical all day, and then Tuesday (the actual day he set up all the signs), but I was sick, and then Wednesday but I was still sick (Strep seriously got me down! Sickest I have ever been!), and finally had to ask me on Thursday! because the lady with the signs had to go collect them that night to use for another proposal the next day! Haha so it was a good thing that I felt good enough and agreed to go do a "run through" the maze!

We were using the maze map Kam had on his phone and as we got farther into the maze we were looking at the map on his phone he was holding and he was shaking and I could tell he was getting more nervous than he was before, and I was thinking man he's really nervous that we are going to get lost 😂 haha silly me! And I was serious about this timing a run through thing! I had my timer out on my phone and was timing how long it took for us to get to each check point!😂 I had NO idea! And kudos to Kameron because I am hard to surprise! I always have an inkling that something is going on and am just super hard to surprise, but I literally had 0 idea! 

As we came into this clearing I could see big letters and was thinking oh fun! someone must be doing something fun when the maze opens! 😂 But as we came more into the clearing I could see the words "Marry Me" with the diamond ring in between them and knew that they were actually for me! I cried.

We walked all the way in so I could see the whole thing and Kameron got down on one knee, had the most beautiful ring held out to me and asked me to marry him! And then we fumbled around trying to decide whether to put the ring on first or hug haha but finally got both done! And big thanks to Tammy for hiding in the corn and capturing the moment! And for Dan, Rachel, Lexi, and Maci being there to share that special moments with us and congratulate us!

(So don't mind me in all these pictures... I HAD STREP!)

I seriously didn't want to leave that spot in the corn maze! I think Kam and I stayed there for probably another good half hour because I didn't want to leave the moment! I wanted to stay in the moment, with him, with the signs asking me to marry him, with the serenity, with the pure joy and happiness <3

But we did :( haha we finally left and later that night we went out for ice cream with Kam's family to show off my perdy ring ;D
