It's April 1st 1994. My 18th Birthday! I'm now 18 years old! Wow!!
Mom hands me my gift. It's a letter from her telling me what a wonderful daughter I've been and how she wishes me such happiness in my future. She's never written letters to me before.
Brian picks me up after my work day at OC Tanner. I had only been working there for a week. He takes me for a motor cycle ride many places. Canyons near Harriman and all over. I love our motorcycle trips together. Hugging him and holding as I feel the wind blowing around me. I try to put my hands in his coat pocket to warm them but he gently nudges them away. humm... Why?? I didn't think about it too much.
We talked about our plans in life and everything. I loved our time together. That evening, we went to dinner at our favorite restaurant, Golden Tree in Riverton. Mom, baby sis Misty, Jason, Mark, John Llewellyn, Becky, Sam.. all were there. We had a wonderful dinner then Brian went into the back and brought out a cake. Lit the candles and everyone sang happy birthday.
After I make a wish and blow out the candles, Brian stands up, gets down on one knee and says "Be careful what your wish for. It just may come true!" He then pulls a ring box out of his pocket and says "Will you marry me?" I say yes and open the box. Nothing is in it! I look up at Brian and punch him in the arm and say "You Jerk!!" Keep in mind, it's April Fool day. Brian has never played an April Fools joke on me.. ever. So this one took the cake!
He then pulls out another ring from his other pocket and says "Just kidding!" I open it up and see the most beautiful ring and start to cry! He then places it on my finger and the tears really start to flow!
I can't believe it! after 4 years of the best Friendship I am now engaged to my Best Friend!
