Brian and I met in May of 2010, he had just gotten home from his mission, and his sister was all about getting us to go on a date. Even before he got home she was talking to me about him, and talking to him about me. We both thought she was a little bit silly for trying to set us up (I am forever grateful now!). We went on a few dates, had a determine the relationship and I admitted I knew I was supposed to marry him. Little did he know that I had felt that way since the first date, I didn't want to make him think I was a creeper or anything!!
Brian and I got engaged on July 19th. Brian proposed to me after doing a short scavenger hunt. He took me to all the places that meant something to us, at each place he would tell me what he loved about me, and make me think he was going to pop the question, but he never did. We started at Table rock, we went there for our first date after we went bowling and I kicked his trash:). After table rock we went to Sonic for the best milkshakes ever, then it was off to Lucky Peak. After we went to Lucky Peak and I was certain he was going to ask me at the next stop, he took me to the Boise Temple to walk on the grounds, I knew he was going to ask I just knew it. Then his phone rang, awesome, he told me it was his dad and that his dad needed to talk to him (keep in mind his dad was considering going to Afghanistan as a contracted pilot, so it was a big deal) my heart sank, I was so bummed I thought that he wasn't going to ask me. Brian drove me home and I knew my family was at home because we had just had dinner all together, I open the door and there it is, the question I was waiting for, my siblings were holding up little signs that said 'Will you marry me?'. I was so confused, but so excited. I turned around and Brian was on his knee with my ring. I lost it, I was crying and jumping around and I could not believe it happened after I was certain it wasn't going to.
A few short months later we were married for time and all eternity on November 13, 2010. It was an absolutely freezing but beautiful day. I loved just sitting with Brian in the temple, and everything was so calm and peaceful, and perfect. Later that day we had a reception, and it was beautiful my family did such a great job of setting everything up and making it look great. Brian and I were very blessed with all the support and help we received that day.
