Looking Back- Part 2 Getting Engaged!

Okay so I left off with giving my Daddy a heart attack. HeHeHe Anyway, David and I started calling each other and talked for long periods of time. It was great fun. Our first Date was May 29, 1992 I remember the exact date because it was his birthday. I drove 2 hours to see him and went to a dance at his stake. It was great fun, after the dance we walked to McDonald's for dinner. When it was time to go we didn't want to leave and it took us a while to say goodbye. I had got into my car and started searching for my keys. David was standing outside and laughing at me it took me a while to realize why he was laughing the darn keys were still in the door where I had stuck them to unlock the car. LOL Well before I left David stuck his head in through the window and gave me a quick kiss (aww how sweet our first kiss).
We continued to talk to one another on the phone and had a wonderful time getting to know one another. The next time we got to see each other was at the YSA conference held at Northwestern. It was a very important time in our little life. We spent sooo much time together talking and laughing and just plain enjoying one anther's company. Ahhh the memories. Anyway, we went to one of the dances and of course we danced together. While we were dancing David decided to ask me some questions Yeah it was like an are you good enough to be my wife interview Hehehe. So what were the questions? First he asked me what I felt about kissing!!!!! Okay this sounded like one of those "you can't win" questions and I really didn't want to tell him that I had always felt that the first really majorly awesome kiss should be across the alter at the temple (especially since I had already messed up a little on that goal) so I threw the question back at him and said what do you think about it. I was amazed when he said the same thing. Yeah the Lord knew who to put together. It was great. So we continue to dance and then he asks me this question, are you ready for this, boy did this take guts. Okay already here's the question. He asked me if I had ever thought that he might not be The One and I said no. It was automatic because by then I really knew that he was the one that I was going to marry. I didn't know when or how I just knew it was going to happen. He asked me how I knew that and I told him that I would tell him in a couple of months. There was nooooo way that I was going to tell him about my awesome spiritual experience while standing in the middle of a whole bunch of people dancing and I felt we needed to have some more time to get to know each other better before I told him. So we left it at that. I had a great time and we went out to a table and had a mini scripture study with each other man was I smitten. He was just what I wanted, spiritual and handsome. Cool So we stayed up really late and were tired the next day. We missed getting to ride the boat that was scheduled for that day but still had a great time. We walked back to campus and while we were walking and were really close to our spot David told me about his experience the day we had met. Now It is not quite as romantic as mine. He wasn't praying, driving or anything. He was washing his hands after using the restroom and looking in the mirror and thought "I just met my wife." Yeah that's kind of odd but hey you can't question the spirit. So after he told me his experience I felt the spirit very strongly, you know the feeling of love and comfort and I felt like I just had to tell him about my experience. So I did and I think I really blew his mind because now he really knew what we were feeling was heading in a direction that was new territory. So we go to the rest of our meetings and then we go back to our table to pray and read scriptures, sooo cool I really loved that about him. Anyway while we were there David sat for a very long time quietly and then he asked me if I knew what most people would do at this point (he was really into those leading questions, but Hey I knew how to handle them I just sent them right back to him LOL) He said that most people would get engaged! Oh my! Well then he asked me to pray with him. David always has has a hard time making decisions so I begin to pray with him and he asked me to keep on praying when the verbal prayer was over so that is just what I did. While I was praying David asked me what I was doing. Okay so he asked me to pray and not to stop so that is what I did and then he wants to know what I'm doing come on. So I just said I'm still praying. Aww it was soooooo sweet. David pulls me up to where he was and then he looks into my eyes. I can't tell you what that was like but I'm going to try. It was like looking into a window and seeing all the happy things that would happen between us. It was like Christmas morning It was awesome! Then finally David looks me deep in the eyes and asks me to marry him! Yay I was so excited and yet scarred and all sorts of feelings all rolled into one and I said yes!! After knowing each other for only three weeks we were engaged. Oh boy how am I going to tell Daddy this!!!! To be continued
