...is mine and Derek's engagement day two years ago TODAY!!
Here's our engagement story: Derek and I took a road trip to visit my mission in Anaheim, California and went to the Newport Beach where I spent 7 months of my mission. We went to the beautiful Newport temple where Derek asked me to marry him. I was SO surprised because I didn't know he had asked my dad for permission yet and we also picked and ordered my ring the day we left for California. We had a very special $8.00 ring from Walmart from a few months before pretending we were engaged at a mission friends wedding reception. That ended up being the ring that he proposed to me with. It was SUCH an amazing day. After he proposed, we went walking into the temple as an engaged couple. In the words of Derek when we were walking in there he said, "I wanted to come to the Temple with my Fiance." That was the first time we had ever done a session at the temple. Very special day! Then we were married and sealed for time and all eternity on January 12th 2006 in the Mt. Timpanogas temple.

We went to a nearby park where they have a BUNCH of different birds like ducks, geese, and all sorts of different flying creatures and we fed them. We had fun with that. You might be able to tell from the pictures below. 
Then we made our way to the beach and took some fun shots. Look at these two love birds!

The same day we went and visited the Auza family that I taught in the mission. The parents Manuel and Maria and their son Luis were baptized. Then February of 2004, Manuel and Maria were sealed in the L.A. Temple. They are the most amazing family. I love them so much. They were SO stoked to hear the news of our engagement.

First of all, I LOVE your new template! Where did you get it? Second, I had no idea you served a mission! That is so cool! I'm glad you got to go back to visit. How fun!
