May 7th

So I made this collage a few weeks ago with the intention of posting it on March 7th and when that day finally rolled around I completely forgot about it! 

So lets all humor me and pretend it's May 7th 2011 so I can do my post 

:)

2 years ago today I was in St. George Brandon.

He woke me up at 5 a.m and asked if i'd like to go on a date that started in 10 minutes.

semi-annoyed I said yes and crawled out of bed...

Brandon took me to a park where he surprised me with an item to check off my bucket list!

A hot air balloon ride!

(This was one item on my bucket list I honestly never thought I'd do)

At the time I was expecting a proposal because I hadn't picked out a ring yet...

I had one that I LOVED but it was a bit out of the budget so the search remained :(

Brandon kept asking me if i'd say "yes" if he proposed with a "ring from a cracker jack box"

and I always told him I would...

so thats exactly what he did! 

Once we were up in the air he got down on one knee and asked me to marry him!

He held out a ring box and when he popped it open it was the most HIDEOUSLY fabulous Cracker Jack ring I've ever seen!

I loved it!

Since steering a hot air balloon isn't really possible so we landed in the middle of a neighborhood and instantly drew a crowd!

Brandons dad and sisters showed up and he got down on his knee again?

I said "what are you doing? we already did this remember?"

and he said "yeah but I figure you only propose once so you better do it right with the right ring"

then he popped open a 2nd ring box and inside was the ring I've been dying for! 

...He loves to tease and torment me...

2 years later, he still surprises me everyday with how much I can love him!

He might make me crazy sometimes 

(who's spouse doesn't?)

but he's perfect for me in every way and i'm so grateful to have him.

Love you B!
