IIIIIIIII AAMMMMMM EEENGGGGGGGAAAAAAGGGGGGGEEEEEEEEEEDDDDDDD!
Hopefully you will be able to decode my excitement:) Yes!! Brian proposed, and I said "yes" after a few other things - which freaked Brian out, and will be explained in the subsequent narrative:)
I was teaching my classes just like normal Thursday afternoon when the secretary came in with a note saying "Pick up your things and go to your car immediately". I was curious and so I did. When I got to my car a good friend of mine was parked behind me. She told me to get in. So I did. The next few minutes were a blur as I began to realize what was going on. We ended up parking by a nearby field. She told me just to wait. Eventually I saw a helicopter getting closer, and closer... All I could say was "He didn't...He didn't!" Yes, he did. When the helicopter landed he jumped out with a rose and ran over to the car to ask me if I wanted to go for a ride. I did:) We flew over the snow capped Mission mountains up to some waterfalls that B and I had hiked to earlier this summer. We were able to get right down to them and hover over the falls. He then proposed to me - the mushy words of his proposal I'll leave out for you:) and all I could say was "Brian, I don't know why you want to marry me!" But "Yes!" After our helicopter ride we drove out to Coeur d'Alene to eat dinner at the Olive Garden - my favorite restaurant:) This last weekend we ended up driving up to Great Falls and visiting one of my Grandmas (in the hospital) and then joining the celebration of my Aune grandparents' 60th anniversary!
