Engaged!!

Ok kids, here's the deal, Brock proposed! Bet ya didn't see that coming. ;) I sure didn't. Well...kinda. Here's the story.

I was banking on it happening on Friday night. So there it was, our Thursday date night. He picked me up from work and we decided to go to dinner. He said he was hungry and wanted to "grub" and that he was willing to splurge so we should go to Carrabba's. I agreed. I thought to myself "that's kind of a fancy place, maybe he'll propose tonight. Nooooo...he's proposing tomorrow night!!"

So we enjoyed dinner, the food and service was AWESOME!! They brought the check, Brock paid, we were ready to leave and he said "I kinda want dessert, do you want dessert?" I said no and that I was stuffed and in no way ready for more food. He responded by saying that he was full (he hadn't finished his dinner) but that he just really wanted sugar. We decided we'd drive somewhere and grab something. So he goes to the bathroom (which was to call his sister Kate to inform her that we were leaving the restaurant which of course I didn't know) and I went out to the car to start warming it up.

He decides that he wants to go to The Chocolate. I agree because I love that place and inform him we can go but that I probably won't eat more than two bites because I was so full already. We drive to The Chocolate and I honestly couldn't even think about going inside and looking at all those sweets so I just put my head on his shoulder and we talked and laughed for about ten minutes. (I was still completely oblivious to the fact that he was waiting to go inside to propose.) He finally convinced me to go inside. We got inside and he told me to order and that he didn't want anything. Uh...wasn't he the one that wanted sugar? ;) So we finally ordered and walked upstairs.

I started walking in to a room and Brock said from behind that we shouldn't sit in that room but that we should we go into the room that we usually sit in. I said ok and turned around to walk in to the room. As I walked in there was an IPOD playing on an IPOD doc, a huge floral arrangement on the table, dessert on the table, rose petals on the table and floor and a ring sitting on the table. My first thought was that sombody was proposing and that we needed to get out quick so I turned to Brock and said "Brock, somebody is about to pro...." I made it that far in to the sentance before I noticed that he was crying at which point, I think everything inside of me did a flip and my heart was racing at about 200 bpm.

He walked over, grabbed the ring, got down on one knee and asked me to marry him. I said yes. He asked if I wanted the ring on and I of course said yes! Then we just laughed at how surprised I was and cried because we were so happy for about ten minutes.

His sister Kate was in the next room (she had helped set everything up) so we walked in to grab her so she could come take pictures.

We are getting married April 7, 2012 in the Draper Utah Temple.

Pictures like this have to happen at a proposal

He still loves me even when I do things like this

Also, note the cute table

This is what I saw when I walked in
