The Proposal!

After I got out of LDSingers on the 28th of January Brett came and picked me up and headed to Manti. We ate at the Manti House Restaurant. It was very nice and I enjoyed dinner. After I could tell Brett was very nervous about something, but I wasn't sure what about, but I wondered if he was going to propose that night. As we were starting to head back we were driving by the Temple, and Brett asked if I would like to go on a walk around the Temple. On Sunday evenings after church we would usually go and talk and walk around the Temple, so it wasn't anything new. However this day was FREEZING cold, and there was about 2 feet of snow on the ground. I told him no because it was so cold, but he drove up anyway. When we parked in the parking lot he asked if I would go for just a minute so I agreed. We started walking around and it was so cold! We got around to the back side or the East side and we were standing below the steps. He was holding me because I was shivering pretty bad, so I asked if we could go back, but he told me he wasn't done yet. He took me up the stairs to the place we had talked when we had first started dating, and then he told me that he loved me, and that he didn't want to live without me. He got down on both knees (which was soo cute) and then pulled out the ring in the freezing cold, and asked me if I'd marry him. I of course answered yes after about 30 seconds of panic on his part, and I almost cried, but it was too cold outside for something like that. That was a wonderful moment! We started talking marriage on the 19 and a week and two days later we were engaged!! I couldn't wait to tell the WHOLE WORLD!! I was in love with and Engaged to the most wonderful man in the world!!

The picture is one a friend took of us after we first started dating, but the same place he proposed!

Talking Marriage and *Ring* Shopping!!

After our trip down to visit family, I was curious as to what Brett thought about everything. The next night I was at his apartment and there was no one there except us, so I thought it would be a good opportunity to "talk." Well after beating around the bush for about 3 hours I was getting tired of trying to get Brett to bring it up, so I asked him what he thought about his niece's question. I honestly can't remember what was said, but anyhow we decided that we were going to get married! We planned a trip to go look at rings that weekend. We had made arrangements to stay at my grandma's house in Salt Lake, but decided to stop at the mall in Provo to check out the stores there. We ate lunch at Sizzler and had the salad bar. That was not a good idea because I know that I ate a lot, and Brett claims he did too. We headed over to the mall, and walked in and saw the ring stores. We entered the first one we saw. The employees were all helping other people, so we just started looking around. I saw the rings and I got butterfly's like crazy and then I looked a little more, and I got a very sick feeling, and I told Brett we had to leave. I guess he was feeling the same way because when we got out we both felt better. We walked around the mall and saw another store with no one in it. We stopped there and the lady that helped us was wonderful. She wasn't pushy and was a great help. Our fear was soon gone. We then went back to the first store and looked there. I didn't really see anything that caught my eye so we moved on to the next store. The employee asked me if I wanted to try any on, so I started to pointing to a couple. It was about the 3rd ring I tried on, but when I saw it on my finger I LOVED IT!

Any other store that we went to, I could not find anything that I liked as much or even similar to it, but I felt so selfish. But lucky for me, Brett kept telling me that he was going to get me only the best and only what I wanted.
