Oh What A Night. The engagement story.

A little backround information. I met Ethan back at the beginning of May. He was over visiting my two new roommates with his friend. I certainly was not intrested in dating him when I met him, but he was persistant and really showed me that he liked me for me. With him being persistant, I ended up falling in love with him. When we got engaged, I did not know that he was going to propose. I thought it would be a little longer. I knew we were getting married, but had no idea that it was going to happen when it did. Now the story....

Ethan designed the ring. We never looked at rings. He just knew that I did not want yellow gold, or a round diamond. The ring could not be more perfect!
SEPTEMBER 13, 2011: I had just gotten home from a 12 hour nursing shift. I was tired and a little kranky. Ethan and I have a little park in Logan up in a place called Cliffside. This was my park even before I met Ethan. It is where I go to think, do homework, take a nap, etc.... When I took Ethan up there for the first time he liked it. We kept going back. We would go to the park to read talks, go on walks, and star gaze. When Ethan came to get me when I was off work, I thought we were going to the park just to read scriptures and a talk. When we got to my favorite place in the park, it overlooks all of Logan including the Temple and the University, we sat on the bench. Ethan pulled out his computer, and he told me he wanted me to read a journal entry that he had written while he got the computer up. The journal entry was Ethan writing to his journal about us from the beginning. Ethan told his journal how we met, the first time he knew he loved me, how he asked my dad for permission, and all the good stuff inbetween. At the end of the long entry the last sentace read "and this brings me to this moment." That is when he got down on his knees and pulled out the ring. And I said YES! After that he played me a song entitled "Grow Old With Me". And the rest is history! I love him so much! I could not of asked for a better man or a better proposal. It was very special to me! And in 49 days, I get to marry my best friend!
