WE'RE ENGAGED!!!!!!!!

Ben and I got engaged a little over two weeks ago on June 23rd. It was a Thursday and I usually get off earlier on Thursday. We planned on going on a bike ride and having a picnic. I was kind of tipped off when he had the idea of the picnic two days before and then the day before he said he would take care of the food. I was also tipped off because when he got to my house he already had my water bottle filled and came down asking where my camelback was. We decided to do legacy trail. We going along biking and looking for a pavilion along the way. About 8 miles on the trail we find one and stop to eat. He got Wingars to-go (which is where we went for our first date) For dessert he brought these chocolate eggs that he brought back from Portugal. These chocolate eggs also have a plastic egg inside with a little toy. So he took one of eggs and broke it apart carefully and put the ring inside the plastic egg. So when I opened it there was my ring. He got down one knee and said "Kayla Lynn Spears" I looked at him with a funny look on my face. It took him a minute to say Simmons. It was hilarious. One the ride back I just started laughing out loud. He did such a good job with how he proposed and all. I loved it. He is so great. We are getting married September 29th. The last two weeks have been crazy with planning and such. Luckily I found my wedding dress today. That was a huge stress relief. We also put an offer on a house. Woot Woot!!! hopefully they accept it. Pictures to come soon!
