WE'RE ENGAGED!!!

We are officially engaged now! So here’s the story. A few ago the lady from Goldsmith left a message on my phone saying that there were bubbles in my band and that it would take an additional three weeks to finish. This was my reason for unsuspecting the proposal when he asked me to go on a picnic with him. Saturday we went up Provo Canyon to Timpanogos Park and all the pavilions were taken so we asked some men if we could just use their grill but they were just leaving so we had it to ourselves. When Joe went back to the car to get the cooler the men asked what we were cooking and I told them it was a surprise. A few minutes later they asked what our status was and said that maybe my surprise was a proposal. They were on to him! Joseph did an amazing job cooking delicious steaks along with homemade pasta salad, fruit and brownies! He’s amazing. After we ate we took a stroll around the park and he asked if I wanted to go back and watch a movie later so I threw out the possibility and just enjoyed the night. We watched the stars for a while and then he complained of the cold so we decided to leave. I got up and he had me put on my shoes while he was still kneeling on the ground. He told me that he had a question to ask me and then I noticed this black, velvet box and I just looked up, wide-eyed at him. He asked the famous question, “Will you marry me?” as he opened the box. I just hugged him and said “Yes! Yes!” The ring is beautiful and the night was perfect! We are getting married August 4.
