This is a picture of the spot where I asked Cassie to be my girlfriend back in March. I thought this would be a great spot with the scripture quote on the wall and everything. I know that I included it into my question, but I don't remember exactly how it went. I think it is the girls who are supposed to remember all this stuff. I was so nervous asking her though because she has never had a boyfriend before. Somehow she managed to send out the signals that she was not interested in anyone until I came along. I still don't know how I slipped in under the radar, but I am glad. This was a Friday (asking her to e my girlfriend), and two Wednesday's before this I asked Cassie is she would like to go bowling with me. I did it at 11:30 at night and she didn't have her glasses on because she was getting ready for bed, and I tell her that it was because she couldn't see me to well that she said yes.

Here is a photo of my Cassie, my wife to be. We are now down to 48 days left. It turns out that from the day that I asked Cassie to marry me and the date that we decided we would be sealed in the temple was exactly 100 days. How cool is that. Cassie made us a countdown calendar and we were both excited when we learned that. It just makes for an interesting tid-bit to share about our engagement period. I am so excited to have this women with me in the House of The Lord. We are both LDS members and we both look forward to being together for time and all eternity. We ordered our wedding announcements on Thursday and we put some fun lines in there about that. Hopefully I can post one when we get them in.

This was taken minutes before I asked Cassie to marry me. She still had no idea and I was so nervous. We made a fire and cooked smores. Well at least that is what we were supposed to do, but it turned out to be that Cassie had fun with marshmallows and I was just trying to keep the fire going and film in the camera. Despite the wind the night turned out just right. The moon was out and glinting off the water and there was a nice big fire and I had Cassie in my arms.

Here we are on May 7th a few hours before I asked Cassie to marry me for time and all eternity. What a day it was. We went to the sand dunes that day and it was so windy. We had sand everywhere, but I was trying to bide some time till nightfall so I could take her hand. We were hiking R mountain here and watching the sunset. It is so nice to hold her close.

Day 49

Today day 49 came and went. It has been a long day because I have been sick. Cassie and I tried to make the best of the day yesterday but I was under the weather then too. We did get to go to the sand dunes and run around there and Cassie got some great reminders bitten into her back. Hahaha We watched Get Smart and had some good laughs and just hung out with each other since I have been a little drained of energy. Today was Friday and I usually get to spend the night at her house, but with my being sick I decided it best that I stay home and not get her family sick. I took an Exam instead and went to work. I missed classes because I was still sleeping in the morning during that time. I sure do miss her on the days when we can't see each other. I hope tomorrow I can see her if I am feeling up to it. We were thinking about watching Wolverine in the cheap theatre. I just want to have her close to hold during this time. She can't pamper me to much right now, but 49 days are all that is left until that is lifted.

Day 50

I am giving this a try. Something that I may look to in the future to remember the days past and the good times we've had.
