Once upon a time ...
There was a girl who loved to babysit when she was a youngster. There was this one family that she really liked to watch. She loved that family and she sort of felt that they were family.
She grew up, but stayed close with this family, often spending hours upon hours chatting it up with the mama of the family and playing with the cute kiddos. They talked about school, work, life, etc. Part of these conversations were always devoted to boys and the blind dates the girl was going on. Generally speaking, these were always humorous stories because the blind dates were THAT BAD! (This girl has won contests for how bad these dates are. Seriously, they are that bad.)
Well, this girl grew up and graduated from BYU. She was trying to decide what she wanted to do (seems funny to try and figure that one AFTER you graduate, but whatever). Well, during that time she went to visit her good friend, the awesome mama from the family she loves. This family had a visitor, a very attractive male visitor. Come to find out ... it was a nephew. The girl and nephew chatted for a few minutes. She found out he was finishing up his Masters Degree in Accounting and she quickly joked that he must be boring. This girl grew up with a father who was an accountant so she can say that. Nothing came of the meeting though cause he left within the next few days.
Fast forward a few months, and the girl went to visit the mama and to see if the rumors of the attractive nephew being around were true. They were! The mama had been asking if she could give her nephew the girl's phone number and after finding out he was really down here the girl said, "YES!" They went out on their first a week or less later. Within the week they went out on their first date, and their second date, and maybe a third and fourth. Apparently they liked each other.
Then came a week of separation. The girl went with her friend to visit her hilarious sister in Omaha and he went to California with his aunt and uncle. Thankfully, cell phones allowed them to keep in contact.
Things picked up right where the two left off. They kept dating and liking each other. And after some time the liking turned to something else ... like love.
On October 4, 2011, this fella told this girl that they were going to go play games with some of his friends. He picked her up early to go eat dinner. When dinner ended and they had time to spare before meeting friends for games, he recommended they go for a walk along the Provo River Trail (a favorite of theirs). The girl agreed thinking nothing of it. After walking for a minute along the trail, the boy knelt down. The slightly dense girl asked, "What are you doing? Stand up." Then all of a sudden she saw the ring and realized what was really going on and started yelling, "Oh my! Oh my goodness! Are you serious? How is this happening?!" And then she did end the conversation by saying, "YES!"
Well apparently this handsome fella had decided it would be best to completely surprise this girl when proposing. She didn't know he had talked to her father. She didn't know that he had gotten the beautiful ring he inherited from his Great-Grandmother. She didn't know that the whole "game night" was a cover up. She was one happy clueless girl though.
Here are pictures from some of the fun things they do:
