2 years!

Two years ago today David and I were having dinner in Sacramento at Morton's Steak House, when he asked me to marry him.

For those who don't know the story yet, David took me to Morton's for our one year anniversary. David had it all planned out, he called the steak house and had my own menu made that said ELISSA WILL YOU MARRY ME? LOVE DAVID.
Of course being me I didn't even notice it! haha
I was just so hungry I was looking at all the food. David even told me to look up and I looked at the ceiling. I was so confused. Then the waiter pulls the table out so David can get on one knee and I ask uummm David is someone else eating with us? He laughs and said, Elissa look at the top of your menu. Then that's when my jaw dropped in shock! I had no idea he was going to ask. He asked and I was like is this a joke? He made it very clear to me that we wouldn't be getting married anytime soon. He would say I was to young.(My sister and I talked about me moving to Utah with her because we thought he was waisting my time) That's how well he played it all off. I kept asking is this a joke? Are you serious? I thought you said I was too young? I thought you said in a few years!? David laughed and said, I'm pretty good a tricking you aren't I? Ohhh ya he was! I was always confused because I knew from praying about it that I should be with him but I never understood David. But it turns out he had it all planned out! And I'm glad he did it this way! It was an amazing night and experience for me that I will always remember!
So this morning I made David breakfast and said HAPPY 2 YEAR ENGAGEMENT! He looked at me all weird and said oh is it the 11Th already! So I have had my beautiful ring on my finger for 2 years and looking forward to wear it for many many more to come.
This is a gross picture. But I love our faces!

I remember when you called me to tell me and you were still at the restaurant. You just kept talking and talking and then you texted me a pic of the ring. It makes me laugh. You are a goober. Happy 2 year engagment.
