Joy does not Simply Happen to us

A Little over a year ago, I met Kyle on my first Sunday in my singles ward here in Utah. Lucky for us, he was on the fellow shipping committee, so we basically had to talk to each other. That day, I knew there was a such thing as love at first sight. The next Sunday, Kirsten and I stalked his life on facebook, because he was considerably the cutest guy in our ward. When we found him on facebook, he told us he had been trying to find us too. :P The following day Kirsten and I ordered a pizza, because we had a coupon. Come to find out, you can only use coupons if you go in the store. Sooo, we called up Kyle to see if he could give us a ride to the pizza place, and he told us only if we went to FHE with him. After FHE he invited us back to his house to watch a movie. After a couple of nights of watching movies until 3 am, he asked me on a date. Over the past year, he has become my best friend, and the love of my life. I wouldn't want to spend the rest of my life with anyone else. We have had our major ups and downs, but they have just brought us closer together. So a couple of weeks ago we decided it's finally the right time for us to get married. This past Friday was one of the best nights of my life. Kyle picked me up from work, and when we got to his house, he told me to stay in the car until he told me to come in. When I went inside, he had a card taped to the wall that said "read immediately." At the end of the card he said there were some reasons why he loved me on note cards lining up all the way down the hall way. The last card said, "I could fill every card on this planet with reasons, just get in here already!" In the kitchen, he had set the table, and he was standing there holding a kitten and roses. I didn't know what to take first, so I just took the roses and set them down, then held the kitten. After I took the kitten, he got down on one knee, made it short and sweet and just asked if I would marry him. We ate the amazing dinner he fixed, AND he bought me my favorite ice cream. He spoiled me that night, to say the least. So, the kitten...was one I had been wanting from the humane society. I saw his picture on the website the week before, and just fell in love. Later that week, his picture wasn't on the website anymore, and I kind of gave up on looking for kittens. Low and behold, Kyle was the one who adopted him. His name is Toby, and he is the cutest kitten ever. We know it's really soon, but we are getting married November 23rd, and we are SO excited.
