She said yes...

I can't wait tell I get married and Katie can work on this Blog. I just like to put the pictures up. Anyway, I was visiting with Josh and Gnickie this past weekend and was getting razzed about my page so I thought I would try to write something real quick about my engagement.

Katie and I had been talking about marriage and actualy had set a date in the Temple for 08/08/08, but I had to talk to her dad first. We were going to be in Utah over the weekend so I had planed on taking care of that on our way back, at least that is what she thought. I was able to pick her up a beautiful ring last week and I called her parents and got permission over the phone. Then I mailed a poem with my proposal rolled up and sticking out of a bottle to her mom. She placed the bottle out in front of Katie's parents house where Katie and her mom always ride horses. I had Katie thinking I was way scared to talk to her dad and that I needed to go on a horse ride with her first. We saw the bottle and i promted her to check it out. When she finnished reading the poem she turned around and I was down on one knee with the ring box opened up and the diamond was shinning in the sun. She had no idea that I was going to propose so soon. It really worked out well and it was fun to get her family all involved.
