...Brian asked me to be his wife!
I can't believe I have been lucky enough to wear this beautiful ring of my dreams on my finger for a whole year. Yep, one year later and I still catch myself admiring it when I think nobody is watching.
I decided that it would be good to actually write our story down now while it is still fresh in my mind, as the details are already getting a little fuzzy after just one year. So here it goes...
Our Story
Brian and Ashley met at the single's ward Lake Powell trip in August 2009. Ashley was brand new to the ward, and first noticed Brian the second day of the trip when she saw him wakeboarding (he was pretty good.) Brian first noticed Ashley when Jenny, her cousin, introduced them (she had great legs.) They bonded over their shared love for water sports, especially wakeboarding. Brian also tried to teach Ashley how to airchair, but she was terrible.
On the last day of the trip, Brian nervously asked for Ashley's phone number. That same night while Ashley was in the shower, Brian called. When she did not pick up, he called her cousin Jenny looking for her! Ashley called him back, and they went on their first date to watch a movie and shared their first kiss.
That was the beginning of the end! :) One year later to the date, Brian asked Ashley to be his wife for time and all eternity at the top of Park City Mountain Resort. She, of course, said yes! And they lived happily ever after. The end.

The Proposal
Brian and I decided to go on a marathon date for our 1 year anniversary (we decided to count our 1 year mark from the day that we first held hands...the next day, he kissed me) on August 28th.
He picked me up early for an amazing french toast breakfast at Kneaders (one of my favorites.) And then we just spent some time checking out the shops and the nature preserve and enjoying the beautiful weather.
For lunch, we went to one of our favorite restaurants, Szechwan Chinese Kitchen. Then we went to Park City Mountain Resort and took the ski lift up just to enjoy the view and hike around some. Brian had the ring on him, but hadn't quite decided exactly how or when he was going to propose.
We hiked around and explored some (I had just got a new camera, so I wanted to take lots of pictures.) Then we decided to go play on some of the park equipment that was all piled together for the summer.
Brian dared me to try to run and make it up to the top of one of the quarter pipes. He had already done it, so of course I had to at least try. Little did I know, he was secretly hoping that I would fail...which I did. As I grabbed the top of the pipe only to slide back down, I turned around to Brian down on one knee with the ring box open! He asked me if I would marry him, and I screamed YES! and took a picture of him on one knee before I would let him put the ring on me. :)
After we came down the mountain, we went back to his place to show his family the ring, and then Brian also played me a song on the piano that he had written for me :), and to finish the evening we went to the drive-in movie and saw "The Killers" because I've always wanted to go to a drive-in movie and I had never been. Pretty much is was the most amazing day! :)
