I know that today is the 26th of March but I thought that it would nice to tell everyone how I got engaged. Many of you know that Amber and I have been dating for a while and that we have been looking for a ring. Well the ring finally came in on Thursday the 15th of March. I tried to keep everything a secret from Amber but she is like one of those Elders on your mission that has all of his Christmas presents open the day he gets them. I think that she called everyone that I knew to ask if the ring had come in. I had the lady from the ring shop call her up and tell her that the ring wasn’t going to come in until next week. Bad choice because Amber figured out that she could have never had her number unless I gave it to her. Just a little heads up. I was able to cover it up with my wit, but I don’t think that it worked.
I knew that I was getting the ring that week but I didn’t know when exactly. I called The Roof and made reservations for Saturday night just in case. Teresa from the ring shop called me and told me to pick up the ring. I had everything set except, I didn’t know how to propose to her. I called everyone I knew and asked them for advice. I asked her roommate and she helped me out a lot. I was going to do something random and make it funny but Shawn said otherwise. Shawn and Lindsay finally gave me the idea of going to the airport and asking her there. Before you think that the airport is random I will explain. This summer I went to Hawaii with my family. My family left a week before I arrived, so Amber gave me a ride to the airport. We had been dating for a few months and that is where I told her that I loved her for the first time.
I had the plan and everything was ready except I had to figure out how to get Amber to the airport and out of the truck to propose to her. My buddy Julian was in San Francisco for the week and he was going to come back that week. I told Amber that I needed to pick him up because he didn’t have anyone home to get him. That worked out great and she said that she would come. I had everything planned now it was just getting her out of the car.
We arrive at the airport and I have Julian call me to tell me where he was at. I pretended to talk to J and I drove over to where I told her that I loved her. When we got to the spot Amber said, “Isn’t this where you said you love me” I pretended not to hear her and hopped out. I answered my phone again and told Amber that I needed to help J with his luggage. I was in a hurry so I asked her to open the trunk and she hopped out. I walked a little ways down the track and then I turned around and proposed to her. I was so nervous that I really didn’t know what I was saying but she did. She did say yes. Later that night we went to The Roof and had a wonderful night. We are getting married August 7th 2007 in the Mount Timpanogos Temple.
