On this very date just 4 years ago Doug asked me to be his wife. Am I the only person who likes to remember these types of dates... you know when you got engaged, first time he said I love you, first kiss, first time he called, first date... Well I like to remember them and remind Doug of them often too. But we both usually end up forgetting on the actual day. I guess it probably has something to do with the fact that I'm a stay at home mom and don't really pay much attention to what the date is, other than what day of the week it is of course. I thought I should post about our engagement in honor of this day. Prior to the official engagement Doug and I had together decided that we wanted to get married. So we had gone ring shopping. I picked out the one I wanted. I had it sized to fit my finger and Doug bought it. Then on February 11 Doug was told that the ring was ready to be picked up. Doug didn't have a car so I drove him to Zales and we picked up the ring. I don't think there's any way he could have picked it up on his own without me figuring it out... We were pretty much always together except school and work and sleep. I would have noticed if he wanted to spend an afternoon away from me. After we got the ring we went back to his apartment where he told me a nice poem he had written for me and got down on one knee and asked me to marry him. I said yes. We celebrated and told my roommates and went to stake dance then to my sister's house to show her my ring and tell he the big news then to Doug's brother's house I think. I remember for the next week I just kept looking at my ring and thinking how it was so sparkly. I probably did it all semester actually. and still do... just not as often.

hey stephanie!! that awesome that you guys have a blog too! I love it! But it gets really addicting! :)
I remember the date that Tyson proposed to me, and I remember when he told me that he wanted to marry me (yes, it was our second date). Cute little story. I went with Tyson to pick up the ring too, but then he waited a few days to actually ask (and I think I hate to wait 45 minutes for him to spit it out when we finally got to the "special place"). :)
