We started the day out by driving to Salt Lake for my brothers wedding. While we were driving Dustin kept asking me if I had been to random places in Provo/Salt Lake area. He named places like Mount Timanogos and Bridal Veil Falls. I told him I had. I started naming places too and asking if he had been there. I asked about Ensign Peak which is one of my favorite places.
He said he had never been there. I told him we would have to go some time.
Our first stop was in Sandy to watch a soccer game that Jared (Dustin's brother) was coaching. While we were there Dustin went with his sister-in-law Jan to the car to get blankets. Jan gave Dustin the ring.
A few weeks earlier Dustin had talked to his brother Dan (who was the only sibling married at the time) about rings and where to go. Dan told him he had a good place to go in Provo and he and his wife would go get a ring and Dustin could pay them back. Dustin described to them what I liked and they got it for him (thanks Jan for picking out exactly what I liked).
We left the soccer game a little while later and headed to my brother Shad's wedding rehearsal dinner. My whole family was there and we were having a great time. I went to the bathroom with one of my nieces and while I was gone Dustin pulled the ring box out. My family went crazy. He told them he was going to propose that night. After I got back from the bathroom everyone was acting a little funny. My dad kept saying to Dustin and I that we needed to get out of there and go have a fun. Well after everyone was done we all started leaving. Everyone just seemed so funny. They said things like, "Call us later" and "Come play games at our house later". I started getting suspicious.
Dustin and I got in the car and he said, "Well what should we do? Do you want to go to Ensign Peak now"?
So we headed up there and hiked to the 1/2 mark. We sat there overlooking the Salt Lake valley and talking.
A few minutes later Dustin got down on one knee and my heart started pounding. He asked me to marry him. I said, "I love you, I love you, I love you". He said, "I love you too but what is your answer". I told him, "Oh sorry, YES!"
It was such a fun night and I will always cherish what a special husband I got. He is Mr. Incredible.
