Engaged!! :)

Sam and I on the way to dinner!  Sam took me to dinner and then to the opera.  I am excited for the evening and having a great time already!

Sam sent me a surprise schedule on my Google Calendar:  Afternoon- Tori get ready for date with Sam.  4:15- leave for dinner.  It was so sweet and I utilized my time and felt beautiful.  Sam even matched me with his cute bowtie. :)

We listened to Sinatra in the car the whole way and Sam sang along.  Such a fun date already. :)

We went to dinner at Cucina Toscana in Salt Lake.  It was beyond delicious.  I was excited that we were going to a nice place but I still had no idea what was happening!

                             I was loving dinner it was so delicious!  After our main course, Sam and I talked about how happy we were and how we always wanted to be together.  Then Sam was standing up and getting the ring out of his pocket!  I started to cry and laugh at the same time as he knelt down on one knee by my side.  Needless to say..  I said yes!!

This is the first picture of us after we got engaged!  Sooooo happy. :)  And we had some amazing gelato. ;)
We saw Beethoven's Fidelio at Utah Opera and it was wonderful.  I was already so excited to see one opera, but then when we arrived, Sam surprised me with...Season tickets for the Utah Opera!!  I cannot wait to see all of them with my sweetheart. :) Many more opera dates to come!

We got back and shared the good news with some of our friends!  Sam's roommate Dan took these pictures for us. :)

It was the perfect evening.  I have never been happier and now I am engaged to Samuel Ivan Olson!  He is so wonderful.

My new apartment (and the people in it :)

 I have clearly just experienced the Court Jester movie.  Inspiring?  Oh yes.

 

 Sunday afternoons are pretty fun.  Look at the awesome tree in my new apartment! It is my token decoration. It is really spacious and I'm loving it! :)
