It's official! There is a ring on my finger and a story to go with it. I'm engaged!!!!
Cameron proposed to me on March 25, 2016. I knew he was going to propose this last Friday, but he still managed to surprise me.
Cameron drove me to work on Friday and I was expecting him to pick me up at six and that we would go somewhere and he would propose. But then I got a note at 4:30 from Candice, one of the assistant managers here, telling me to go out the door to look for a car that would have a kind mom and my next clue. Candice told me not to worry about taking anything with me or clocking out so I grabbed my coat and phone (thank goodness!) and headed outside thinking that maybe it was work-related. So I left my backpack in the car and, because Candice told me not to, didn't clock out. Thankfully, that was easy enough for my manager to fix.
The next clue led me to the Provo temple where Cameron was waiting with a picnic. I thought that that was going to be the proposal, but when he reached into his coat pocket he was holding another clue. The picnic was to help me not be starving until we ate dinner.
The next clue led me to his sister's car and the one she had took me (Cameron didn't come with) to a nail salon on University Avenue. Cameron had purchased me a manicure and pedicure.
After that his sister, Coralee, drove me to Taste in Provo (where he took me for my birthday for chocolate tasting). The cashier had the next clue for me which told me to go outside and look for a handsome man walking around.
I found Cameron and we walked just down the street to Oregano Italian kitchen for dinner. It was delicious and perfect and I couldn't stop smiling. I felt so pampered and spoiled and loved. It was the most wonderful feeling.
After dinner Cameron and I drove up the canyon to South Fork park. His parents had set up a campfire, flowers and chocolates, his guitar, and apple cider. He had written a song that made me cry because it was so sweet, and then he got down on one knee and asked me to be his wife. I must have said, "Yes!" twenty times before he could actually get the ring on my finger (I was hugging him so my hand was a bit inaccessible).
I can honestly say that I've never been happier. I so look forward to our life together.
