The Proposal!

Yay! We're Officially ENGAGED! :)

I figured it would be easier to just post the story/details here instead of telling and retelling the story. (Not that it isn't one of my very favorite stories anyways...just long. You understand, right?)

Well, first of all..I already knew Josh had the ring. We picked it out together a while ago. That was a story all in itself haha. We had originally picked out a different one...but i just couldn't stop thinking about this one. I didn't know how to tell him! I was so afraid he would be upset or hurt...but i finally spilled the beans. Josh was very understanding and was glad i had told him. "Ya only get one.." he said, "..and it has to be THE one!" So we got that taken care of and i continued to wait somewhat patiently. I told him I didn't care how or when he did it...but that i would prefer it be a complete surprise (since i already knew he had the ring and all).

Josh did just that!

He had so many things going on to lead up to the BIG surprise.
First of all...He had my friend Kiersten ask us to go on a double date Saturday. We were also supposed to meet up with one of his buddies and his daughter later that night at the temple to show them around and hang out. He stole one of my co-workers numbers from my phone so he could have her talk to my boss and make sure i had the weekend off. (i couldn't figure out why my boss was being so nice and giving me the weekend off...nice is not her strongest suit to say the least!) Well, Thursday rolls around and he announces he has been called in to work on Saturday and that we wouldn't be able to go on the date or meet up with his friend. I was DEVASTATED!! We usually only get to see each other on the weekends as it is and this weekend was already shortened for us because he was going to be busy moving all his stuff home Friday. Anyways, I was debating whether or not i should just volunteer to work Saturday and get my turn out of the way..which sent josh into a bit of a panic, but nobody at work let that happen. I decided to go hang out with Kiersten anyways on Saturday and agreed to meet up with Josh's buddy as well and show him around since josh 'couldn't be there'. (the fact that i'm super gullible and easy to persuade made all of this very easy on josh!)
After I hung out with Kierst and some friends, they dropped me off at the Bountiful temple to meet Josh's friend. I walked around back and couldn't find em anywhere. so i continued to walk around and finally walked in to the trap! There stood Jake (Josh's brother) videoing the whole thing. I was still a little confused until Josh appeared! He walked up to me...gave me a very sweet lil speech..and dropped to his knee. So perfect!!

But wait! The surprises didn't end there! We headed home from the temple, but josh said he needed to stop in brigham and get a few things for his mom at the store. While we were in there, he decided he was hungry. he suggested we go to Maddox cause he, "hadn't been there in forever!" So off we went. Well, when the hostess took us back to our table...there sat both our families! My mom, Step-mom, Grandparents, Josh's parents, and brother were all there waiting for us. Josh had also planned that whole thing too. He's so good at what he does ;) haha.

So there you have it. The detailed version of the proposal.

...and here's some pics too!

Here's us at the scene of the crime. Moments after he popped the question!
