Zane proposed December 8, 2008 in the Cedar City Library. I was completely surprised because he had mentioned he wanted to check out the Divine Comedy and I had no suspicions that evening. After handing me an illustrated copy from the bottom shelf he tried to pull out the ring. I was going to give him the book back prematurely when he said, "Look at the angels!" I looked down at the illustrations again and thought in my head There are angels all over these pictures, why does he want me to look at them? When I finally put the book down, I was shocked to see him kneeling with a ring in his hand. He then used my full name and proposed. When his mother asked if I said yes Zane's reply was, "No. She said, 'Of course.'"
(This proposal came after Zane's courageous attempt at asking my father for my hand and
the news leaking out far earlier than we planned.)
We have made many preparations since then. We have a new basement apartment I have already moved into. It is a small (and sometimes smelly) place. I have had very little time to clean because I have had so much homework and work to do.
This last weekend I had the great opportunity to go to the Manti Temple for my first time, and it was wonderful.
I have had two bridal showers- both of which I will remember for a long time and am so grateful for everyone who came!
We have sent out the invitations and are now only six days away until we are sealed for eternity! I am so blessed to have Zane in my life and look forward to all of the time we will have together!
