this is all happening..

+ last monday my darling Joshua asked me on a date for Friday (1 November 2013)
i, being completely smitten by him, quickly said yes
he told me we would be the subjects for a friend's photography midterm,
we would be going to temple square and we needed to look nice.

+ friday finally comes, i drive to Orem.
i get "nice" looking and we head to Cory & Missy's (the photography student)
when we arrive Corey announces that he has purchased a new video camera
& he will be recording the events of the evening so he can learn how to use it.

+ we drive to sandy so we can ride trax to temple square.
the camera is put to use right away and photos are being taken.
we take pictures by the assembly hall
then the tabernacle
we then make our way around to the front of the temple.

+ Missy asks for pictures of just me
then Cory calls us over because he has found another spot.
he tells Josh and I to go sit over on the edge of an enclosed stream
and to have a normal conversation.

+ we sit and talk.
josh says, "one day we'll be able to go in [the temple] for real together."
i agree.

+ josh pulls out his phone, which has pictures of a special ring i had picked out.
he says, "do you still want his ring?"
i say, "i do. i really do."
he says, "well, lets make your dreams a reality."
and pulls out the real ring and hold it next to the phone.

+ i turn my head. this isn't supposed to be happening for another month.
it can't be real.
but it is. quite real.

+ he gets down on one knee and says,
"Ashley Beth Billings, will you marry me?"
i stammer out a mixture of "yes" and "uh huh"
he teases me and says, "is that a yes?"
i smile and nod.

+ he grabs my right hand and i pull it away.
his face drops.
i smile, tell him, "wrong hand" and hand him my left hand.
then he put the ring on the correct hand.

= heres to us, we're in love & engaged!
