The engagement story

Me and Justin were living at his mom's at the time and we were going on a date. We had been fighting the day before so as sort of an apology he asked me if I wanted to go out to dinner. The day before he had gone to go hang out with his friend and his friends girlfriend. He was going down to Provo to shop because Aubrey needed new pants or something? I thought it was weird that he wanted to go but he didn't see his friends much lately with the baby and everything so I was fine with him going. I called him a little after he left because he said he was going to text me and didn't and he didn't answer. I found that annoying but just waited for him to call back. He finally did and I asked him what he was doing and he said sorry, that he was still in the canyon and hadn't gotten the text until just then and didn't know I had called. I got over it quickly and he said he would call me back, they were going to go into Walmart, but that he would call me. To make a long story short, I proceeded to call him four or five times throughout the night, all of which he didn't answer and would call back kind of quickly and act so weird...really nice, but weird like he was hiding something. So me being the suspicious, jealous girlfriend that I was freaked out every time I actually got a hold of him. I thought he must be doing something bad if he could never answer right when I called and he acted super nice every time I freaked out. hahaha I am so crazy sometimes. Eventually he got home and apologized and apologized and he had some random excuse for everytime he didn't answer so as an apology he was going to take me out to dinner the following night.

So, the next night we were getting ready. We were in a rush because we had reservations at Tepanyaki's down in Provo and so Justin handed me James and said "Here Stephanie change his diaper and I'll get the diaper bag ready." James didn't even seem like his diaper was dirty but I figured Justin must have checked. So I laid him down on the bed and started to change him. When I opened up his diaper there was a note. I opened it up. It said " Mommy, will you marry my Daddy?" I started busting out laughing! And then I turned around and saw Justin down on one knee. His face was priceless. He looked happy but scared and embarrassed and said "Was it stupid?" ring still in hand. I couldn't stop laughing but said "No, I love it. I'm laughing because I'm happy" I gave him and hug then looked at my gorgeous ring. HE did  SO GOOD! And then I started to cry. And he said "Well you never answered me." And I said "OH! I guess I didn't. Well Yes!"

We had a wonderful date that night. I don't think I ever stopped looking at that ring...maybe to eat :)
