A Day of Dirt and Bling



Wednesday was a great day. It began by having my brother, Mark deliver me some much needed sand and dirt for my garden. I was giddy! I told Mark that you know you are 46 years old when the most exciting part of your day is having dirt delivered :) However, I was wrong...the day got even better...

Jenni called me that same evening from her work. She was excited and out of breath and told me (screamed at me) that Cordell had just proposed minutes earlier! He had come into Nordstroms (in the kids dept where she works) holding flowers and a blingy ring and had a friend tag along with a video camera. She was helping a customer and turned around to see him on one knee crying and asking her to be his wife. She was shocked and so were all the customers and employees standing around watching :) She said "yes" and we are now once again on the wedding merry-go-round. He told her later that it was their three year anniversary of their very first date...she had forgotten. Sweet-huh? (the photo of the ring is the pic she sent me from her phone after calling me).

They set the date for June 2, 2012 (EKKK!) in the Bountiful temple. Yep, we have eight weeks, folks. My head hurts and I already feel tired. Yesterday we spent the day with Tara and Aubri and found "the" dress and booked the temple, found a photographer and we are still searching for a venue. Hang on, it is going to be a fast, fun ride :)

And just when I thought nothing could top the dirt being delivered...
