IM ENGAGED!!!!!!!!

OKAY EVERYONE!! In case you haven't heard, I am engaged, to the beautiful Gavin Linsley of course, and I can't wait. We are best friends and so close, I would not want to marry anyone but him. He proposed to me on Feb. 14th in Hollywood CA. He came down to visit me and we had so much fun. He flew in on fri. the 13th to Lax and then drove as fast as he can to my house in ventura. Then we went to the mall to get some matching shirts BECAUSE we were getting our pictures taken the next morning by the famous Robin Vallentyne. Pictures were fun! We went to the ventura pier and took pictures around there.

Then we headed down to hollywood. It was a blast!! We walked around the mall the is connected to the Kodak theater and they were setting up for the Oscar Awards. It was really neat to finally go there after seeing it only on tv.


(right before he proposed)

Gavin had this idea to go and get our picture drawn by a cartoonist. So I said ok even though we were going to be late for dinner. So we found the artist and gavin pulled him aside and told me that he had a surprise he wanted the artist to draw. So they talked and he started drawing gavin first. when he started drawing me he told me to put my hand up by my face. so i did... thinking nothing of it, and he put a fat ring on my finger... which was confusing to me cause I wasn't wearing one. At first I thought nothing of it, but then I started getting really nervous, like I was going to throw up. Gavin kept asking if I was ok, but I didnt really know what was going on. The artist was done and gavin said "See that ring he drew on your finger?" and I was like yeah, and then he got down on one knee and asked "will you marry me?" and I froze, I didnt know what to say.... well I did but he already knew the answer so I was thinking why is he still kneeling then i was like oh yeah... "YES" then I started crying and laughing and we hugged it out. It was a lot of fun.

We then headed over to dinner as fast as we could go, to dukes in malibu. It was a lot of fun, it was right on the shore. They gave me a rose and it was such a great dinner!! The whole trip was a lot of fun and it was good for us to have the alone time that we needed.

Our date is june 30th, and we are so excited, we hope everyone else is excited for us as well. Today Gavin left :( hopefully it wont be that long until i see my love again. But we went and got some good food today and hung out, we always have fun together. I miss him so much and cant wait to see and hang out with him everyday!!!
