I'M ENGAGED!!!

Hey flamie!!! Everyone asks for the details, but I've told the story so many times that the story gets shorter and shorter!!! Here we go:
We were hiking up Maple Canyon today and we ended with a hike up Dizzy Rock. It is very properly named in that it did make me pretty dizzy to stand up there. Luckily I had a big strong Alex with me to protect me!! And he did a good job of it, too. There were times where I thought I was going to seriously injure myself (or him), but we made it back safely! At the bottom of the mountain we were looking at hieroglyphs and also looking for a rock that had boot prints in it. We couldn't find the boot, but we conveniently found our way into a little grove of trees. There we were hugging and such (because I was glad to have both of my feet safely back on solid ground....and thanking him for getting me there safely). Anyways, he asked me if I had ever thought about spending an eternity with him. I said yes, and he got down on one knee and pulled out a beautiful ring and asked me to marry him!! I said yes again!! And then we commensed hugging and kissing again, but you probably don't want to hear about that part!!! :)
The funny part.....while we were up on top of Dizzy Rock, we were sitting for a while, looking out at the cliffs and the beautiful scenery and I was thinking that I wanted to ask him, "Can I have you forever?" Luckily I held my tongue for 10 more minutes!! :)
Pictures to come later!!
Much love to everyone!

So, for those of you who spell better than me......(Alex)......I had a typo that has been pointed out to me by someone.....(Alex).....! 'Commensed' should actually be 'commenced'! Sorry!

Lori Thornbrue said...

Typo's and spelling mistakes are ok......we all forgive you, cause we all do it too.......

Kids are getting married these days before they even learn how to spell! Congratulations, Kristen.

James said...

Kristen Kay Christensen. Did you think about that?

Lori Thornbrue said...

James comment about your name.....this is what dad said, "She might consider changing to her middle name :Kay Christensen: which isn't quite the tongue twister than Kristen Christensen is....especially since Alex kind of pronounces it "kristen-sen" anyway.

I love you lots too Kristen! I can't seem to say it enough either. Wait a minute... I just now realized that I was being asked "one of those questions" by your dad when he asked how I pronounce my last name. I think your name is quite a controversy especially because my niece's name is Kristen Kay. Funny stuff! I love you!
