The Proposal

I was at work, it was Valentine's Day, but no HUGE plans were in place. Then I got a text from Daniel saying that the ring had come in the mail. I had no real plans to propose this day, I had a plan in mind, but it would've been in March and I knew Holly was hoping for the ring sooner than later. Yes I was, I was impatient. I decided that today was as good as any day, especially since it was Valentine's Day. I was on chat with Holly while we were working and I said I needed to leave early to take care of a few things and I was gone. I kind of suspected something was up when he asked if we could go for a walk before FHE that night. Even when I had asked that question I wasn't entirely sure what I was going to do... Good to know you didn't have any HUGE plans planned out for just in case...lol jk Remember that part where I said I wasn't ENTIRELY sure what I was gonna do? I did have some ideas though. On my way home I walked around the area where I was planning on proposing, called one of my best friends Damien Baker to let him know today was the day, and stopped by the local gas station and got a pack of sour gummy worms I got home, got the package (which was huge for a small ring), small ring??? Compared to the box. Yes.
After doing more brainstorming I went to meet up with Holly at the school, she was still gonna be a little while so i stopped by Subway where I knew Summer and Daniel would be. They got to see the ring and I told them a little of my plan. Holly and I met up shortly after, ate dinner, at subway and I had no idea they already knew what was going to happen. I had no idea they had already known but like I said I knew something was up and took off on our walk. We ended up at the Conference Center fairly high up so we could see the school and much of Salt Lake in the distance. It was beautiful but such a long walk up those stairs after I had just ate. =] I liked this spot because the school is where we met. I figured she probably had a pretty good idea of what was going on, but last she knew there were some issues with the ring shipping. So she didn't know for sure that I even had it yet, I was counting on that fact to at least help it be a little bit of a suprise, but Holly is a very smart girl. Heck yes I am! =] We talked for a little bit, I pulled out the sour gummy worms and a CapriSun she had given me with a note on the back for my birthday that said something like "Wish upon a star." Sadly there were no stars to be seen yet. My wish was that she would marry me. I said some super cheesy lines and in all sincerity let her know that I want to give her everything I can now and forever. Which was so sweet and he was figiting around so I knew something was up for sure but I couldnt see a box shape anywhere in his pocket. I pulled out my phone and started playing the song we were going to dance to at our wedding reception. (We have since changed the song for our wedding reception, but either way it is still significant to us.) Marry Me By: Train Then I pulled out the ring, dropped to one knee and asked her to marry me. Nothing super fancy or ellaborate. She didn't say yes... she said something like "I will" but that was good enough for me. Later I felt stupid for saying I will, why couldnt of yes come out of my mouth instead. It was crazy that it all was finally happening and I was really nervous. But I knew what my answer was going to be ahead of time. =] There were lots of hugs and kisses, plus a few tears. A few? I think I cried a lot considering you have never seen me cry before BUT it had been a hard day (can't remember why) and had been wanting to cry since the beginning. This just was the last straw and they weren't sad tears they were more like relief and happiness.  We then took off to Family Home Evening where she was able to show everyone her new beautiful ring. Which I LOVE =] but I did feel a little bad about showing it off on Valentines Day when those that are/were single already felt sad as it was for being alone on Valentines day but Suki was SUPER happy for us and it all worked out great. I mean were still together aren't we ;]
