Happy Engagement Anniversary... or Halloween
One year ago Dan tricked me into thinking he was staying at school all evening and I was so sad. I drove around after work with nothing to do and nowhere to go. I finally went back to my house and found my Daniel there with a dozen roses! He took me to Rock Canyon park and proposed along the path! I nervously laughed and of course as you all know said yes! It was so perfect, he was so sweet, he got down on one knee and he had the most beautiful ring in a beautiful box.
We have been married 4 months now and I am so blessed to have him in my life. We are still learning new things everyday and adjusting to all the new things that life throws at you when you are married. I am still trying to learn how to be a better wife and I know that will be a life long journey. I love my sweetheart and since we both aren't big on Halloween I am excited to celebrate our 1 year mark since our engagement by going to the movies tonight and having a nice night to ourselves!!

We're gonna get married...
On Halloween I got engaged to Daniel Mark Calkins. It is unbelievable to me how things seem to work themselves out when you least expect it; we simply have to go for things even if they scare us. When I first met Daniel he was quite, sweet and calm and reminded me a great deal of my brother Kirk. He was a nice relief from what I was used to. Daniel came into my life at a time when I was hanging out with people who were bitter and negative and I was consumed by the same attitudes that they had. I was depressed and having difficulty figuring out what I wanted to do with my life. I pretty much kept Daniel at bay and kept him as a friend rather than anything more. He was very kind and understanding the entire time and was always asking me why I put up with the people I was hanging around with. I slowly allowed him to come in and be a bigger part of my life and now I am so thankful that I did.
Daniel had told me all day, on Halloween that he was going to have to be doing homework all night. I was frustrated with the idea of not being able to see him. I drove around after work trying to figure out what to do and finally just came home. I found Daniel walking up to my house holding a dozen roses. I knew right then that he was going to ask me to marry him. I was ecstatic and shaking. He drove me up to Rock Canyon Park in Provo and we walked down a path. He was holding a bottle of sparkling apple cider and stopped under the first street lamp on the path to hug me. As he hugged me I immediately started in with my nervous giddy laugh. He said my full name and then got down on one knee and asked me if I would marry him. I continued laughing and said of course. He then made me look him in the eye since I was pretty much freaking out.
I love him with all my heart and want to grow with him and spend the rest of my life with him. We are so much alike but also bring different strengths to the relationship. I am looking forward to becoming a part of his family and having him become a part of mine and starting a family of our own. I have never been so happy with someone in my life. He is so sweet, kind, considerate, giving and responsible. He is intelligent and has goals and I know he will be so successful. He comes from a good family and has wonderful parents who tried very hard to raise good children. Daniel and I are not perfect but we accept each other for who we are. We set our wedding date for June 28th.
