And a Merry Christmas to you too



Jacob and I set the date! December 26th at 3pm in the Dallas Temple! I understand it is an interesting time for all to come but would love to have you there. We will keep you up to date with cheap ticket fares and all.

We will also be having a reception/party/somethingorother after the holidays but that date is yet to be determined. ha

Love you all

Jake and Kate

Soon to be a Fordham!



Life right now seems a bit surreal. Too good to be true! Jacob proposed September 7th and I freaking said YES!!!!!

He came over early that day to wake me up with a dozen red roses. SO CUTE. I couldn't sleep and was already awake when he arrived. We shared some yummy honey nut cheerios for breakfast and then got ready, in our matching UVU t-shirts, to go hiking up Milcreek canyon. :) The hike was called Ganduer Peak. It's about 6.5 miles and so beautiful! We took our time on the top taking it all in and snuggled. We found some heart rocks and talked about harry potter. After, we ate some lunch, took showers/got ready and had a little nap. Jacob was so ansy though...and I had no idea why. We had decided to go look around at pepperwood falls and as we were on the rocks playing around he told me he had sometihng for me!.... It was the heart rocks from our other hike. ha. I thought it was going to be a ring. :) After that we decided to go over by the Draper Temple to watch the sun go down. As of lately we have been watching the moon come out behind the mountains and thought that would be a good place to sit and watch. Jake had never been on south mountain at night and so we started off! We got to the Draper temple only to find it was closed, of course, due to Labor Day and it being a monday. So we drove around trying to find a 'good spot' for moon watching... or so I thought. We soon found a patch of grass that over looked the whole valley. It was perfect. As we sat there Jacob talked of how as much as one tries to plan things... sometimes they don't go how you thought they would. I agreed. He told me he wanted to marry me. I of course replied in the affirmitive (thinking we were just chatting)... Jacob then started moving a bit. I thought he was just re-adjusting how he was sitting but turned to snuggle up next to him to see a RING! I got all big eyed and open mouthed and quickly kissed Jake. He then popped the question and I immediatley replied back YES! following it with giggling, laughing and "oh my gosh! oh my gosh! oh my gosh!" The smile on Jacobs face was priceless and will never forget it. We stayed there for a bit talking and kissing and laughing and just WOW.

I am getting MARRIED!

To the best person I can think of- JACOB LEVI FORDHAM!!!

I love him and he loves me.

Its seriously the best thing one could hope for.
