July 25th, 2004 The Proposal Story

so we were driving back to his house after having dinner at my house. we were talking in the car about getting married and he kept dropping little hints like 'well, we're going to vegas in january to get married' and 'what if i said i wasn't getting you a ring, but that i was saving up my money so we could get matching ring tattoos..would you still want a ring? oh, shoot, i'm sorry..that wasn't romantic' then acting like he didn't say anything. so then he gets off the draper exit, which is way before his exit. i asked him where we were going and he said for a drive, it's only 11 o'clock, it's not like it's too late. so we are driving along the new subdivisions that are being built on the point of the mountain and we keep getting higher and higher. take note, i really have to pee (as if that's unusual). we pass a chevron and i'm thinking i should ask him to stop, but then i think i'll be okay. so we keep driving. we get to the top where you can see both utah valley and salt lake valley on either side of you. he drives in a cul-de-sac and turns around. the view is amazing. then he pulls off on the side of the road and we're just kind of taking it in, not really saying much. then i can't stand it anymore and i say i have to pee right now...coincidentally he does too. so we get out of the car and i do my business by the back tire and he does his in front of the car and i make a comment about how romantic that is. haha. then we meet in the middle and he puts his arms around me, we are looking out on the valley and he says, 'so, will you marry me?' and i say, 'mmmm..yes'. then i turned and looked at him and he said, 'really? you really will?' and i say, 'yes, i really will' then we kissed. the end.
