Anniversary

1. What date is your anniversary?
August 2nd

2. Where did you get married?
Idaho Falls Temple


3. Who proposed and how?
Alan proposed. It seems like yesterday. It was April 20, 2002. The night before he, along with his friend Bob, drove to Idaho Falls, without me knowing and asked my parents if he could marry me. He wasn't there too long because he was still planning on driving back that night, but he was there long enough to let me sister's try on my engagement ring! The next day we had planned to go to Rodigio Grill to celebrate something about his mission since he served in Brazil. I was game! It was kind of a rainy day, but it was still nice. We had a great dinner, or I did. Later Alan told me he couldn't eat much because he knew what he was about to do. I didn't even pay attention. We left and he ask if I wanted to go for a walk and walk off some of our lunch. I said sure, but was a little shocked because it was a rainy day. So we ended up driving and parking behind the Conference Center and then started walking down. I had had a little too much to drink and told Alan I wouldn't make it too far if I didn't stop to use the restroom. He asked me a few times if I could just make it to Temple Square, but I kept saying no, so we went into the Conference Center. Alan waited for me. When I came out he was sitting on a couch in the lobby of the conference center. I went and sat beside him. We made small talk for a minute and then he started to move and I thought we were going to continue our walk, but he turned and got down on knee! I was shocked! He asked me to marry him, then he showed me the ring. Of course I said yes! He put on my ring and we hugged and kissed. As I looked up, there was a tour going through the conference center that had seen the whole thing and they were all pointing and smiling at us. Needless to say, we didn't finish our "walk" we went back to his car and started to call my family.
