Dan used to joke with his friends that we would get married when I proposed. All the while he was scheming to propose to me. I had no idea.
Easter weekend (2003) I planted a basket full of over 500 plastic eggs. I snuck into his apartment while he was asleep and I put it in his front room. I called him and stayed on the phone while he was going on a treasure hunt to find certain things in his basket.
Meanwhile, I was outside his apartment door. I knocked on his door, he was surprised to see me, and we hung up our phones….

I knelt down and pulled out the coveted dark ring box that every girl guy dreams to see. Dan…. Will YOU MARRY ME?
He of course said YESSSSS! Look how happy he is!!!
ONE MONTH LATER.....
Dan had other plans for us...
We drove Moab to go hiking, just as we had planned. I should have realized something was going on but I didn't, Dan and I met in MOAB!
He said we had arrived too late to meet up with our friends so we would do a hike by ourselves and then get together with everyone for lunch.
We hiked to this beautiful spot and Dan pulled out THE RING!
I was more than surprised I couldn't believe it. The entire hike down I was shocked and kept going over and over out loud how excited I was. I asked him where we were going to meet up with everyone for lunch and he said, "who"? No one is here but us. I didn't believe him at first. We had all planned this together where was everyone?
Our friends were in Salt Lake!
He took me to lunch where we went the first time we had just met.
We drove back home that same day. As we approached Salt Lake, we watched the sunset. I couldn't believe all that took place. It was, as you can imagine one of the most memorable days we cherish together.
This is the picture we took going home, to mark our first day soon to be...
As our son would say "to infinity and beyond"!
