Once upon a time (the story of how it came to be)

It all started Once upon a time, At a Halloween party that my friend hosts every year at Foe's bar. There he was, The man of my dreams  (I didn't realize it yet of course). I had a huge crush on him.I was slightly flirting with him through the night,I ended up putting my number in his phone. I took his picture at the bar and took it home and showed it to my mom, I told her all about him ( Little did I know he was my future husband).

Brandon and I lived in the same apartment complex(Willow Cove Apt). I was moving out of my apartment . I had told him we were trying to fit some furniture in this little SUV type thing, And he ended up coming over and helping us move some stuff. I believe it was the next day or so and my mom and I went to the apartment to clean and Brandon texted me and i told him i was cleaning the apartment, a few minutes later he was knocking on my door with carpet cleaner and a scrub brush. After we were done cleaning we hung out for a bit talking about all sorts of stuff. I told Brandon we should hang out more I enjoyed his company. 

On June, 11 2010 Brandon came to hang out over at my sisters house, where I was living for the time being. He brought his niece Jazmin with him to play with my nieces and nephew.

He ended up staying most of the night we talked and had a great time. Law of attraction was in full affect, We hung out every day sense. He would come over after work to see me and when it came time for him to start heading home I would walk him to his truck.  Most of the time we would end up sitting in his truck talking for hours. I loved it!!

 He made me feel so good inside. Anytime I talked to him I would get flutterflies all over my body,and his touch would make me feel warm and tingly all over.  

Brandon stated on June, 19th 2010 that he was my prince in shining armor, It was official. I was so happy !! He was mine it was such a good feeling. I told my mom first thing the next day, I couldn't stop smiling the whole day. Our first "I love you's" were said June, 23 2010. Day by day our feeling grew stronger and stronger. I became the happiest I had ever been.  

 Brandon took me to meadow UT on July 2, 2010 to meet the parents,we stayed there for the weekend.

Brandon's parents had set up a canopy in the back yard for us.

                                   

It was so romantic it had a light hanging in the canopy

                                                        
                                                          

Our bed was a swing.

                                      

You could hear the water fountain from the canopy.

He took me to visit lots of family and friends. I had the time of my life. I love his family we all got along  great. I truly didn't want to go home .











 On July 19, 2010 Brandon had to go out of town for a month, it was our first time apart sense we had been together.

It helped going to Oregon with my sister. I actually got to see Brandon for a few minutes in Oregon because ,my sister had to give him a computer program for work. Brandon and I talked Through web cam the whole time he was gone. It made it easier to be able to see him and talk to him every night before we went to bed. 

We would text and send photos back and forth. Brandon picked me some wild flowers and made a bouquet,and sent me a picture of  it. 

Being apart helped us realize how much we loved each other. Brandon and I talked about spending forever and ever together.One day we were talking on web cam I don't remember what about It had to do with us being together forever and he said "you know what an ad just popped up saying do you want to buy an engagement ring." I said "oh yeah that's funny "He said "one day I will buy you a ring "I said you promise He said "I promise when I get back in town we will go look at rings" my response was" Ill believe it when I see it." When he came home all I wanted to do was be next to him, that month seemed like years.I was so glad to have him home. 

August 20, 2010 Brandon took me to pick out an engagement ring. It was a lot harder than I thought there were so many rings,And me being so indecisive. Brandon chose to go ring shopping on the perfect day, Kay jewelers was diamond showcase.  There were excellent deals., everything worked out by chance. The ring I picked fit perfect so they didn't even have to size it.

The Ring

September 26, 2010 Brandon packed us a lunch, and wouldnt tell me where we were going. He kept saying you'll see when we get there . So we drove up the mountain. In my head I had an idea that he was going to propose, But I didnt want to set myself up for disappointment. As we drove I just relaxed and enjoyed the senary. The road we drove up went from wide to thin on and off the whole way there.

Finally we reached our destination. It was beautiful the whole area was nothing but red rocks srounded by huge trees. We made our way to a big rock some what in the middle.



The big rock in the middle is where I said "yes"



Brandon and I sat and had a picnic,  we just relaxed and talked for a while. I saw something weird on one of the rocks so I got up and went over to investigate,It was nothing exciting just a weird looking rock. Brandon was still sitting where we had just ate so I made my way back over to him once I got to the rock he told me to stand there and close my eyes. He wouldnt tell me why, I stood there waiting for him to tell me I could look again. He said you can look now so I opened my eyes and he was down on one knee and had a box with pearl earings in it and said "Will you marry me". My mind began to go a hundred miles an hour,I had such a addreniline rush. I said "yes" and wrapped my arms around him. I did not want to let go. He must of been nervous or something because, he made me stand there with my eyes closed for what seemed like for ever. 





October 4, 2010 We wet to multiple jewelery stores looking for his ring. We decieded to go to

Morgan's jewelery and there it was it was tungstin carbine with a black ceramic stip through the middle. Brandon tried it on and it fit.I bought Brandon's ring .
