Two years ago....

Mark and I got engaged! Wow times does fly, I seriously can't believe how fast time goes! Well I will tell you how the story goes for this wonderful day. It was conference weekend and Mark and I went down to watch conference in the conference center, and as we approach the door to go inside they said there weren't any more available seats and we could go over to the tabernacle or just sit out on the lawn. So I looked at Mark and he looked a little nervous about this, I had noticed he was acting like this the whole day he had been a little off about stuff. I didn't think much of it because he had threaten me many times that he was going to play a mean April Fools joke on me. So we decided to go and sit on the lawn and listen to General Conference, once it was over we went and met up with Mark's cousin Michelle and she wanted to take pictures of the flowers around temple square and wanted us to go with her. Well the whole time we were walking around I was telling Mark that this is stupid and that she could take the pictures anytime she wanted and that I wanted to go home and just hang 0ut. Mark just ignored me and kept on walking, then Michelle said why don't you guys get your picture taken in front of the temple together so you can put it in your wedding video someday. So I agreed and we waited in line for a while and then finally it was our turn to get up and get our picture taken and then after she took the first one I went to walk off and leave and then Mark pulled me back up and I asked him kind of with an attitude, What are you doing? He said just one more picture. So I got back up and we did this weird pose and then I went to walk off again and then he pulled me back and got on one knee. I looked at him and said what are you doing GET UP! I was very frustrated, and then he started to ask me if I will marry him, and i just looked at him like he was joking or something and then he pulled out the ring and I believe him and said Yes. Meanwhile I didn't know that his brother and his best friend were recording it! So you can totally see how mean I was to him! But I honestly thought he was joking because it was April Fools!
So that is how the day went! It was a very frustrating day, but at the same time a very rewarding day in the end! I love him to death, looking back I had no idea I would be where I am today! I am very grateful for it!
