December 25th in his eyes

Christmas morning started off different for me... I knew I was going to propose to the woman I was completely in love with.  Although I was certain she would say yes (from the fact of her reminding me constantly to do it) I had never been more nervous and anxious in my entire life!  My proposal plan was in the christmas gift.  I got her a snow globe with our pictures inside of it and a recorded voice that popped the question.  As that would happen I would kneel down with the ring and she would immediately say yes. I was praying that all would be well...There was only one thing on my mind that day, what would happen in the entire minute of that proposal.

When we arrived to the Roseman's home, I tried to find a time when I could talk to Sarah's dad Kelly to ask permission to marry his daughter. When the moment arrived for that, he was in the garage looking for things. As I was about to ask, Sarah walked in and saw us and immediately shut the door. I thought she knew exactly what I was up to... Later would I find out that she just didn't want to help look. HA  As soon as i asked him he immediately said absolutely. He had one thing to say... If you get married, stay married. As he said that 2 things happened to me... 1) half the nerves went away from asking the future father-in-law.... and 2) When he said his advice, I knew what was going to happen that day was exactly what I wanted and knew it was right. It was just another confirmation to me.

So, as we began opening presents Brian starts handing out gifts... about 1/4 of the way in, Brian grabs the present for her. I thought oh no! Its not the right time. He examines the bag and sees no label for who its to and sets it on the table and moves on... That was close!

Getting close to the end, that gift finally gets around to sarah. My palms are sweaty, I feel sick, and yet I'm so stoked to finally be engaged to Sarah. She opens the gift and loves it and i realize she has no idea.. Then she presses that play button on that snow globe. Everything went perfectly according to plan... except the immediate "yes" answer... Her facial expression showed so much shock that I don't think she remembered she needed to reply.  She clasped her hands to her face and started crying and then came and hugged me! I took that as the yes, but luckily I had Sarah's mom Sherrie to remind her to about that question... SHE SAID YES!!

Its been 4 days since and my head is still in the clouds... nothing feels more right... I have never been happier...

December 25

December 25 is a much awaited day that holds many meanings: Presents, family, twinkling house lights,  snow, work parties, crowded shopping centers, decorating the tree, and much more. This year I had no idea just how much of a meaning it would have for me... December 25, 2011 changed my life forever. You see, this is the day Michael William Hunt proposed. <3 The morning of December 25, 2011 I woke up and knew it was going to be a great day. I had to work for four hours at the hospital and then my brother Stanton, Mike, and myself would drive four hours to Springville to spend Christmas with the family. This day was already special to me because I got to share an important holiday with a man straight out of a fairy tale, (Mike) with my family. Anybody who knows me can testify that family is the most important thing in my life.  So it is apparent this holiday was complete having the man of my dreams be with my family. We got to Springville and had our traditional fam...

Honeymoon-ing!

I have been really excited to write this post! It's about the destination of our honeymoon! Some of you knew and some of you didn't.... but I sure didn't know where we were going for our honeymoon! Michael planned it all and kept it a surprise for me!  So picking up where my last blog left off, we drove away from our reception as the sun was setting. I didn't even know where Mike was taking me! It's quite an exciting adventure to get in a car with your new husband and have no idea where you are going! Plus it was an added treat to have everybody smile and wave at our decorated car and my fluffy dress occupying the passenger seat on our way. ;)  We got onto the northbound entrance as Michael told me we were going to Anniversary Inn in Salt Lake City! I was really excited to actually stay in the city and stay at Anniversary Inn. My parents and siblings have stayed there before and it was somewhere I have always wanted to spend the night. It was perfect for...

Becoming a "Hunt"

This past weekend was a BLAST! Mike's dad and step-mom came to St. George with Mike's little brother, Sam, and little sister, Grace. It was so much fun to have his family in St. George and to have spent so much time with them! This also gave me the opportunity to see the family name I was taking on. :) It started on Friday night by going to dinner with his family and his grandparents. I have seen them before at the airport for Mike's missionary homecoming, but we didn't talk much at that time. We were able to get the usual "Where are you from? Who is in your family? Are you going to school?" and all other questions out in the open. Dinner was a great ice-breaker and a catalyst for the rest of the weekend! Saturday morning Michael and I went to Washington to celebrate his family ancestor with the rest of his family. She was the first school teacher in Washington City and this past week would have been her 200th birthday. It was neat to learn she was from Du...
