How we met...
Grant and I were a few years apart in high school so we never really crossed paths. The year after I graduated, we worked at the same summer job. Grant didn't talk to me all summer but we noticed each other from afar :) That winter, he got the nerve to visit me while working and we hit it off. A few days later, I invited him to a party with my embarassing best friends. A few days later, Grant visited me late at night and we built a snowman (below!)...we've pretty much been inseperable every day since!
The proposal!
I hate this story! Haha, you'll see why. In June 2008, we took a trip to Orlando. It was so much fun and we had a great time together buuuuut it was REALLY hot! One day we visited the Magic Kingdom and the heat was ridiculous. We got there early and planned to stay late to watch the fireworks. However, it was just so hot and we had seen everything we wanted to see. I asked Grant if we could go back to our hotel to clean up and then have dinner. He reluctantly agreed because of course, he had planned on proposing during the fireworks! Whoops!
For the rest of our vacation, G tried desperately to find a new way to ask me to marry him. However, I just didn't let that happen! Haha. When we got back, I was out shopping with some friends and Grant called to find out what time I would be home. He was making dinner. When I got home, he had a wonderful candlelit dinner done and said he was trying to cheer me up after a bad day. During dinner, he explained how he felt bad because I had lost a new ring I bought while on vacation, so he went to buy me a new one. He pulled out one of those little bubbles you get toy jewelry from a machine in. To my surprise, inside was not a cheap piece of plastic but a beautiful diamong ring! Yah :)
