proposals

I saw this on a Friends blog and thought I would play along. Ben and I meet while working together in Utah. He was kind of like my big brother for a long time. He would tease me when I went out with other guys and stuff like that. So for my birthday my parents were taking me out to dinner and said I could bring a friend and asked him to come along. To hear him tell the story now my plate of ribs were the size of Texas! Anyway a few weeks later he asked me to go to a rodeo with his Friend and I went. We actually ran into my ex-boyfriend. I must we started spending alot of time together. I must say my dad hated Ben at first! He was 21 and I was barely 18 and the baby of the family. That being said Christmas was coming and he was going home to Iowa and had talked about staying. He gave me a promise ring before he left and said he would be back. My parents were selling their house and moving to southern Utah so I was moving with them. We were at work and talking about what we were going to do. We went to the bountiful temple open house and started talking marriage. Anyway he got a ring and a few days later He took me in the back of the store and kind of got down one knee. He was so nervous. And asked me to marry him. The rest just kind of fell into place.
