Engagment-versary

Here is are little engagement picture. We were engaged March 12th, 2007 so 4 years ago. It feels like a lifetime ago but I can remember it like it was yesterday. Braden took me to Old Main Hill because we met in the Old Main building on campus taking a philosophy class. Our parents were meeting that day and so it worked out really nicely. He took me to the hill to take pictures and then we came upon a little set up with a blanket and a laptop and maybe some flowers? I was like: oh it looks like someones being proposed to . . . where are they? I didn't recognize his laptop because I'm just smart like that. He's like- let's go over there and check it out! And let's open this random laptop and see what could be on there . . . all the while I was clueless. I was not getting it. I told him I really didn't feel right looking at some stranger's computer and then he opened it up to a little slideshow with a picture of Hey! It's me and you on there! Oh, okay, I think I see where this going . . . we're banging on all cylinders now . . .

Anyway so to celebrate, it was Saturday so no work. We went to lunch at Elements- so yummy. It's a fancy restaurant, for Logan, but their lunches are cheap! Then we ate out again- and we're lame. That's all we did. Ate and shopped but didn't buy anything. Why did I feel the need to blog this day? I guess I'm real glad I said yes to that Boy 4 years ago. Maybe one day I won't remember that and I will need a reminder that I did make the choice to say yes for time and all eternity. And to remember what I felt that day and throughout our engagement- I knew he was the one for me. I feel very special that someone like him loves someone like me.

Happy Engagement-versary Brade! Thanks for asking me to marry you!

  3. It was great to read your story, as I have never heard it before. It was very sweet. And you are funny.

    Hey, it most likely was my Grandma you saw running. I totally want to be like her someday too. She's up past 100 marathons, we'd better get going, huh!?
