Eric had the ring for almost 5 days and I must say, he did pretty good at distracting me/lying! When Friday was coming around he mentioned he wanted to drive about 30 minutes to the next bigger city, Idaho Falls, to grab some lunch after classes. We headed out there and had lunch at Olive Garden.
[[Funny side story: I told Eric I only wanted to have my nails painted when he proposed! The day before I had been at the hospital for clinical, where we can't have our nails painted. Friday morning I woke up a little earlier before classes just to paint my nails, I had a feeling! At lunch Eric commented, "oh you painted your nails again!" He knew I was little suspicious ;)]]
After lunch we drove a couple more miles and parked. We crossed a bridge to a walking trail across the water from the Idaho Falls Temple. As we walked along side the frozen water we talked and chased the ducks. After walking a while we came to the actual water falls their self. There was a dock that went out over the water. The waterfall actually wasn't frozen! It was so pretty!
Eric pulled out a tiny photo album he had in his pocket. [[I had really tried to keep an eye on him to see if he had anything in his pocket, I had no idea!]] He had put pictures in it from us dating over the years. We laughed and talking about them, but my heart was pounding. The very last thing was a note from Eric. He had written it to me before his mission
Of course, he wanted me to read it out loud. I could could barely make it through. The very last sentence read "I want to spend eternity with you." Next thing I know he is on one knee, asking me to marry him! While I was still crying and trying to hug him :)
The past week has been so surreal and perfect. I can't wait to marry my
