The "Grand" Engagement

Day One

We got off work and went to eat at the best China place on the planet!

Then we started driving...
I couldn't stay awake fer nothin!
I think Derelict was feeling the same way too, so we stopped
in the Fillmore Beaver area and got a hotel.
And that was day one.


Day Two
We wake up way too early and start driving some more.


And then "in the twinkling of an eye"
We were at Kolob Canyon of Zions National Park.

Not much to do here, but drive. It's beautiful though.
Even Derrick can appreciate it's natural beauty.

Here he is... touching the butt crack.

After Kolob Canyon we drove down to Zions

and had lunchy at Oscar's Cafe.

It was so stinkin cute there!

We got some awesome sandwhiches with sweet potato french fries.

I was in heaven.

Then we got ready to go on the scariest/longest hike of my life.

Here I am about to pee my pants cuz we are going to climb to

the top of that freakin mountain.

I got whooping cough a few years ago and I would cough so hard
that I would throw up. Like, with no warning.

One time I was driving in crazy traffic in Orem to get my oil changed. It was seriously taking me a half hour to drive 10 miles.

I started coughing and

!!BLECH!!

Puked all over myself.

Needless to say, I was pissed.

Anyway ever since then, when I reach the point of overexertion

I dry heave like crazy.

So... here we are about an hour into the hike

after a massive dry heave spell.

This hike is nuts.

You get to the point where the drop offs are so crazy that they have a

chain going up the rest of the mountain that you can hang on to.

Grown men have gone off of the cliffs and fallen

over a thousand feet.

And I saw people with five year olds doing this hike.

What is wrong with people!

We finally made it to the top!

It was worth it, but I won't be doing it again for a

long freakin time.

We saw this butterfly on our hike down.

We were hammered so we only hiked around a little bit more.

It was a fun day.

Day 3

We woke up way too early again and

we made it to the Grand Canyon.

We went to a place in the trees

and that's where Derrick proposed.

Our Sacred Grove

It was perfect. He got down on one knee, I said yes,

we hugged, I jumped up down like a little girl,

we made out in the great outdoors,

text everyone and their dog, took some more pics,

drove through Zions one more time,

and headed home on Monday morning!

Bring on the wedding planning Madness!!!
