I SAID YES!!

The story...

On November 20, 2010 Drew took me to Red Rock Canyon for "date night." Halfway through dinner he said, "let's go on a walk after dinner." At that point I knew what was coming. I stopped eating and almost yelled at Drew to hurry up and finish his food. I also claimed that I was too full for dessert so we could cancel the Roor Beer Floats. That's when Drew knew that I knew what was coming... We walked out to the lighthouse and he grabbed my shoulders and squared me to him and the rest went like this...

Drew- You know I love you right?

Natalie- Yes and I love you too.

Drew- I want to show you something

Drew kneels on one knee while pulling a box out of his pocket

Drew- Will you marry me?

Natalie- YES!!!

Drew puts the ring on my finger

Natalie- (gasp!) It's so big!

Then there was some crying and laughing and a little bit of k-i-s-s-i-n-g!! We sat down on a park bench and Drew told me about his conversation with my parents. I kept telling him how happy I was & and I kept crying. He informed me that I couldn't call anyone because there was another surprise. We got in the car and he took me to my parent's house. Waiting at the house was my mom, dad, sister, brother-in-law, Drew's mom, dad, sister, brother, sister-in-law, and 8 month old nephew. Drew also invited my friends Mike, Meredith, David and one of his friends, Braden. We toasted our engagement and enjoyed hearing everyone's perspective on our engagement story (everyone in town seemed to know that we were getting engaged that night). More to come...
