I'm engaged!

Last Thursday, May 29, I flew to Pacific City, Oregon to surprise my girlfriend with a ring. Her Dad and two brothers picked me up (thank you), and took me directly to the beach to write, "Will you marry me?" in the sand. As I sat on some random drift wood and waited, I thought about what I was doing. I was ridiculously nervous, but I knew what I was doing. I was doing the right thing. I have never felt so excited and happy before.


When Danna finally arrived (20 minutes later), she began to walk down towards the beach with everyone in her family. She had no idea what was about to happen. She thought I was busy at work in Utah. She finally recognized me and ran to me, but not before dropping her $400 camera in the sand. We hugged and then I pointed out the lettering in the sand as I knelt down on one knee. She put her hands over her mouth! I opened the ring box and asked if she would marry me. She said, "Yes, yes!" We kissed and got engaged. I think I speak for her as well when I say that neither of us have ever been so happy.
