5 years ago today



So here's the story... 5 years ago in February we had started dating again (after I scared her away the first time). While we were not dating, I had decided I was going on a single's cruise in May. Well by the time the cruise came around, we were dating again and had decided that we were going to get married.

We had gone out ring shopping and found one. So while I'm en route to Houston, Kacy calls and says that the guy at the other store will give us a better deal with the same Diamond we had picked out. So the jeweler calls me and we get it financed. So while I'm on the cruise, I'm trying to figure out a way to propose to her. I thought about spelling out "will you marry me" on the beach and taking pictures, but that wasn't working too well.

So we thought of taking this picture, then on Cozumel I bought a frame to put the picture in.

When I got back to SLC, I told Kacy that I called the jeweler and the ring would not be ready until the next day. Meanwhile I ran to the mall and picked up the ring, then got the photo printed out, I put it in the frame and wrapped it back up in the newspaper they wrapped it with in Mexico.

I headed to Kacy's apartment and gave her the picture, then got the ring out, got down on one knee and proposed (while little Dawson was climbing all over me as he was excited to see me again).

Long story short... she said YES!
