It's A Wonderful Life!!!

Okay, so I'm SURE everyone already knows about this, but I'm engaged!!! It happened Saturday!! Here's the story of the weekend...
Summer, Natalie, and Jimmy came in from Texas on Friday morning, and Douglas came over from Milledgeville... That brought the count (including myself, David, and Erich) up to 7. I can't TELL you how wonderful it was to have ALL of us in one place! It was the first time since Texas over spring break!! SO! Friday afternoon we went SKYDIVING!! It was SO awesome!! David and Doug jumped first, so Summer, Natalie, and I got to watch them and then WE went up!! As we ascended, Summer and I got more and more antsy!! Natalie jumped first, and then Summer went, leaving me for last!! I wasn't sure if I could do it, but the guy that was strapped to my back just fell out!! (I was his 9,160something jump!!!) It was AWESOME!! I screamed the whole way!! I can't explain to you the feeling of plummeting from almost 15,000 feet! It was nothing short of AMAZING!! Then he pulled the cord and our parachute flew out and the rest of the way was a beautiful float down! We did lots of fun turns and stuff on the way... IT was WONDERFUL!!!
That night we all went back to the Marietta house and stayed up really late talking and enjoying each other's company. Saturday we woke up bright and early and headed out to Rocktown for some climbing! I was gonna get to "christen" my new climbing shoes, and I was SO excited! All along the way, David kept getting calls from his dad... it was kinda weird, but I didn't pay it much mind. We got lost along the way, so we got there around 12 or 12:30. We got all the way down the mile-long trail to the rocks when I realized that my climbing shoes weren't in the bag. How upsetting! I was gonna head back to the Tahoe and check around, but for some reason, my friends kept telling me not to worry about it and to just climb!! Douglas finally convinced me not to go when he said that he had been the last one to get his CamelBak out of the car and he hadn't seen the shoes. So I gave up and started climbing in my Keens. I got to the top of a face, and was walking around and Summer came up to join me! We heard Natalie say, "Hey, Summer, come down here and spot me and I'll try to get up there with y'all..." I kept on walking, and I heard footsteps behind me. I turned around and saw David following me. I started thinking to myself, 'hmm, i wonder if it's okay that he and i are alone up here...' We climbed a little further up to the highest point we could, and when we reached the top, he hugged me. I heard his heart beating like crazy, and was thinking, 'Wow, I didn't think that was a tough climb... I thought he was in better shape than that... hmm...' While he was hugging me, he said, "I love doing stuff like this with you." Then he turned towards me and said, "I want to invite you on an adventure... the adventure of the rest of my life... (then he got down on one knee) Will you marry me?" I know what you're thinking, and yes, I do believe that IS the sweetest thing ever!!! Of course, I said yes and threw my arms around him!! I took off my promise ring and he slipped on the engagement ring (which is GORGEOUS!!!), and I said, "Now what do I do with this?" (referring to my promise ring). He said, "Put it back on, it's still yours." Yep, definitely the best moment of my life so far!!! He and I stayed up there for a little while basking in the moment, and when we turned around we saw 5 little heads peeking up over the ledge watching! It was so cute! We went back down there and talked with everyone, and apparently they had been scheming for WEEKS!! It was awesome! We decided to go back down and get some lunch, and as we were heading back up the trail, I saw Allison coming toward me! I screamed and ran and hugged her, and as I did I saw Ms. Rita, Mr. Tyler, Tom, and Vicki coming up behind her! It was so cool!!! THAT'S why they didn't want me to go back to the car and why Mr. Tyler had been calling so much! Because everyone was there and they didn't want me to see!! HOW CLEVER!!! As we were eating lunch, my MAMA came up the road! It was so great!! What a WONDERFUL day!!!
Saturday night Brekken came over and spent the night with us (another night of little sleep, especially for Natalie, Brekken, and Jimmy *wink to y'all!!*), and then the 8 of us went to Six Flags for the day on Sunday!! It was SO fun!! I fell in love with Brekken, and we all had the time of our lives!!! (I have to admit, though... the roller coasters weren't quite as awesome after skydiving... I think we did that in the wrong order!! OH WELL!!)
What a MAGNIFICENT weekend! The eight of us had a "family meeting" and decided that our trips to see each other had to happen once or twice a year FOREVER!! Aren't we cute??

So yeah!! That's that!!!
I love y'all!!
