Will You Marry Me?

At the TCU game!

24th October 2009 was the day we got engaged!! It was quite an interesting day! We went to the BYU game against TCU and we wanted to get there early because we had front row seats, but it wasn't that simple. We walked from Brett's apartment all the way to the stadium and when we got there I couldn't find the tickets! Brett got mad at me and so I got mad at him and stayed mad at him for quite a few hours. We walked all the way back and printed our tickets again and finally made it to the game very late. TCU kicked our butts, but by the end of the game Brett and I were friends again. (Turns out the tickets were caught under my hoodie! haha)

After the game we went to dinner with our friends Garrett and Christy at the Spaghetti Factory. Afterward we went to Brett's apartment and cuddled till 12am when it was time for me to leave. I was super tired and wanted to go home and sleep. but Brett really wanted to go on a walk so we went to our place...The Bell Tower.

When we got there, there was a bunch of loud annoying freshman, so we read our scriptures snuggled under a blanket. When we were done Brett put something in my hand under the blanket. I had no idea what it was because he had told me he still didn't have the ring due to some issues at the jeweler. I pulled it out from under the blanket and it was a ring box. I opened it to find it empty...or so I thought. Hidden in the top was 77 tiny sticky notes. This was significant for multiple reasons, the Christmas I had on my mission Brett sent me a pad of sticky notes each one giving a reason he had thought about me that day, or one of our memories. Then when he went home from his mission there was 77 days till I got home so I sent him 77 note cards each one with a reason why I loved him on it. Then from the day we set our wedding date till the day we got married was 77 days...so on each little sticky note in the box was a reason he loved me.

We moved spots, to under a bridge at this point and read all the sticky notes together. Then he pulled out the ring, got on one knee and asked me to marry him!! It was so cute and super sentimental to our relationship! I loved it!!

Later Brett told me he had, had the ring with him all day and at points he had the ring in one hand in his hoodie pocket and my hand in the other...he had to keep switching pockets so I wouldn't see it or feel it!!

The 24th October 2009 was one of the best days ever!!! And on the 24th October 2010 I felt our baby move for the first time!!! I like the 24th October!!!
