Holy Crap I'm Getting Married

It has been way to long since I have written on here. 
I have been so busy since I got engaged.
Anyone who has been here, knows how it goes. 
A week after we got engaged we took our engagement pictures, then a week after that, we ordered our announcements, sent them out a week later, finished our college semester a week after that, and have been working like mad dogs, and finishing up all the details for our special day. I can hardly believe there are only 13 days left. 
This is so surreal. 

Last Friday, I was able to enter into the house of the Lord and receive my endowments. After my interview with the Stake President and Bishop, I cried when my recommend was handed to me because I had just been given the greatest accomplishment and the thing I have been preparing for my whole life. 
The temple was absolutely beautiful and everything I have ever dreamed of it being. 
If there is one thing that you do in your life, ALWAYS be worthy of having a temple recommend. I promise you will not regret it. 
Being worthy to enter into the Holy House of the Lord means the world to me and I can't wait to continue attending the temple frequently, individually and with my soon to be husband as we continue to prepare on a daily basis to be blessed with a Happily Ever After and an Eternity with one another. 

Here are some long over due posted engagement pictures:

A Conference Weekend to Remember

What a beautiful weekend it was in the Arizona Mountains. 
We have a family tradition of going up to the mountains during General Conference weekend where we get to sit and relax and enjoy the company of each other and listen to the beautiful words of the prophets. 
Not only were the words spoken during the conference inspiring and motivating but something life changing happened.

It was a lovely Sabbath day at Bison Ranch. The Weather was beautiful and I had a handsome man by my side. What more could I have asked for? 

Eric and I took a walk with my little sister down to a pond they have. The whole time we hadn't taken any pictures so I mentioned out loud that we needed at least one picture to capture the moment of the weekend. My sister without hesitation shouted "Can I take a picture of you guys?" We accepted, and what we thought was going to be one picture turned into a whole photo-shoot of her telling us what to do and how to pose. 
After a while Eric goes "I have an idea for a pose." So he positions Ginger, tells her where to stand and asks her to just keep taking pictures. Eric comes and stands behind me with his hands on my hips for a minute and then steps back and tells me to keep looking out on the pond. 
A minute later he grabs me by the hand turns me around and there he is on one knee. 
My Heart Stops. 
Music rings in my ears as I hear the sweet melodious "Savanna Brook Westberg, will you marry me?"  
Of course, I said "Yes!" 

We were both so caught up in the moment. 
As we were walking back Eric stops and goes "Wait! Did you even say yes?" 
We laughed, and enjoyed every minute of that very moment. 

Ever since I was a little girl I dreamed of the day when the man I love would get down on one knee and ask me to be his forever. 

That dream of little Savanna has come true.
  
Let the fun and excitement of wedding planning begin!!
