Engagement Story

Today at work I was talking with my friend/co-worker and we were talking about our engagements. She told me I should blog about my cute engagement story so I don't forget any details and I can always remember it. I am a little biased, but I think I have the cutest engagement story ever! Lets start from the beginning.
Andrew and I met in July 2009 on a blind date (thanks Kell!). The first of October I was in Tooele watching LDS conference with Andrew and his family. After the Sunday afternoon conference Andrew and I went for a walk around town and Andrew started asking questions about marriage. I had only known Andrew for 3 months at this time so I hadn't thought too seriously about it. I mean I am a girl, so I had thought about it, but I wasn't planning the wedding or anything. I told Andrew I was a 4 seasons girl. And what that meant was I wanted to know my husband all 4 seasons (summer, fall, winter and spring) before I got engaged. Andrew was a little taken back by this and I don't think he like my answer too well. But I told him I would pray and think more seriously about it. Well, the first of November rolls around (a month later) and on a Friday night Andrew had driven down from Logan for the weekend (as he did every weekend since he was going to school at Utah State in Logan and I was going to the U in Salt Lake) anyways... Friday night Andrew shows up at my apartment with a beautiful bouquet of flowers. He said he just wanted to give me flowers, no particular reason, he just thought I would like them. Later that night Andrew asks me if I want to go look at rings in the morning. We hadn't talked about looking at rings before so I was a little surprised, but I knew I wanted to marry him so Saturday morning we hit the town and looked all morning at rings. When Andrew picked me up Saturday morning he commented on how warm it was, like summer. The ring shopping was fun! What girl wouldn't like trying on diamonds? I found a few I liked but I wanted Andrew to pick it out so I just showed him some style that I like. That afternoon Andrew told me he had plans to go to the temple with his mom so he dropped me off, but we had plans to go to dinner later that night. That night we went to dinner at Thanksgiving point (yum yum). In the back of my head I thought he might propose at the restaurant, I didn't think he really would, but it was in the far back of my mind since we had been talking marriage all day. Anywho he didn't propose at dinner. After dinner Andrew said he needed to stop at his sisters in laws to pick up a box for her. When we got there no one answered so Andrew told me to wait there while he went through the garage to get the box inside. So I waited and the next thing I know Andrew opens the door and the house is decorated like a forest in winter. It was a winter wonderland! Fake snow, fake pine trees, a fireplace, calming water fountain, and lots and lots of white lights. The place was all lit up with white Christmas lights which set a very romantic mood. Andrew pulled me inside and I was WAY CONFUSED! I had not idea what was going on and that is when he got down on one knee and took my hands in his. My hands were shaking like crazy! I don't remember everything that he said but I do remember this. He said that he knew I was a 4 seasons girl and I wanted to wait 4 seasons until we got engaged so He gave me spring bouquet of flowers the night before (spring) He dressed for summer earlier that day and commented on the warm summer weather (summer), we ate dinner at Thanksgiving point (fall), and now we were in a winter wonderland (winter). He said on day 13 we held hands for the first time, on day 28 we kissed for the first time, on day 75 we said I love you to each other and today is day 88 and I want to ask you to be my wife.Then he pulled out the ring I had picked out earlier that day and he asked me to marry him.
Cute huh!
We sent pictures of my ring to my family. They were out to dinner. They were so shocked that the next day they ALL packed into their cars and drove up to Salt Lake from St. George to see us.
I have pictures of the winter wonderland somewhere and when I find them I will post them.
