engagment story...



here is the story.......First off we decided to plan a trip to kirtland ohio to see the church sites. Davin had never been there and it is only about 3 hours from my parents house. So we decided to go. Once we planned the trip Davin couldn't stop talking about it and how excited he was to go. I thought he was a little over excited to be honest. We looked at the sites online and he seemed even more excited. (it was cute).

When the big day arrived and we made it to Kirtland ohio Davin kept saying how he wanted to go to the park that has a bridge over the stream where the early pioneers had mined the stone for the temple. I kept telling him that we had to go see some of the old houses and temple first. He seemed kinda bummed so After we visited the temple i finally told him that we could go to the park. Davin seemed very happy. By the way the weather was absolutely beautiful. Once we got to the park we looked at the map of where to find the bridge. (There was actually a person there who does tours and to my surprise he turned down the guy and said that we could look around ourselves. ) So we headed off on a trail into the woods thinking we were heading towards the bridge. But after about (i swear it was) 2 miles the trail opened up into another little park area. Davin was so upset i had to laugh. It wasn't like him at all. He headed to another map and realized that we went down the wrong trail so he marched back to our trail and we started back.

Once we finally found the bridge Davin picked up a bunch of rocks and we were throwing them into the stream and than he left to get more rocks........

When he returned i was waiting for him because i didn't have any left. He held out his 2 fists and asked me to choose one. I picked one and than he said, " trust me you want the other rock. " so i chose his other fist and in it was a box.

I was so shocked i actually stepped back(poor Davin, his face looked worried). So he grabbed my hand and got down on one knee and the rest is history. We were actually engaged on Friday July 13th of all days. Davin took a picture of my hand with the ring on it with his phone and text it to everyone. It was one of the best days of my life.
