Friday night Luke and I met up to grab some sushi at Shogun after a long week. As we were sitting at the light on Joyce and College one of my best friends, Lindley Summers, called. I hesitated as Luke was listening to the game on the radio and I didn't want to drown it out. Luckily I answered.....
"heeyyy girl!'
"Hey, guess what"
...pause... i knew it...
"I'm engaged!"
...pause.... "Lindley Summers, if you are lying to me I'm going to..."
SIDE NOTE: around this time last year Miss Lindley pulled a prank on me and led me to believe that Brett (her now fiance) had taken her to the casino and proposed to her when they won $1000 dollas. She had a fake ring on and everything and I totally fell for it. For about 20 min. Sooo.... you can understand why I pulled out the pauses! ::resume::
"Kirsten Blowers I am NOT kidding you!"
"OH MY GOSH!!! When? How?"
I'd fill you in on the story BUT I thought I'd leave that up to Lindley herself! Click HERE to read her blog-- she hasn't posted about the engagement yet, but I'm SURE she will soon!
After Luke and grabbed dinner at Shogun (we had a great time by the way and I laughed till I cried-- great dinner with a great boy) we headed over to Brett's apartment to congratulate the happy couple and give Lindley a huuugee hug!
A little about us--
Lindley and I met in 10th grade yet we knew of each other before then. We were close friends all through High School running in the same group of friends but became Best Friends when we both enrolled in the Interior Design program at the U of A where we were roommates sophomore year! We've spent countless hours together and every hour I'm with her I love her more. Lindley is one of the most caring people I have ever met. She has a huge heart and is very compassionate with everyone. I can count on Lindley at any hour of any day for advice, a laugh, a heart to heart, or a gripe out session. She truly is one of my best friends and I can't picture my life without her!
Here's some picture from this weekend... and a trip down memory lane!
Here's the beautiful ring!...

We all made Lindley frolic in the rose petals for the perfect engagement night pictures! ha! They actually turned out okay!
Tonight when I met up with Lindley she presented me with this... It's a martini glass with diamonds all around it and a sweet note that says... "From tears to cheers, throughout the years, you've been by my side, now I am going to be a bride! Will you be a bridesmaid?" of course I said YES! When I read this my eyes flooded up with tears! I usually don't get emotional with these things but I thought back on everything we've been through and I just couldn't handle it! Love this girl!
Here's the engaged couple! Lindley and Brett!
Can't wait!!
