Da DaDa Da, Da Da DaDa!


The day has arrived!!! Keefe and I are engaged!!!! We are getting married August 6th in the Denver, Colorado Temple. So, here is the story: Keefe took me on a wonderful picnic in a nearby forested area called Happy Jack. The sky was partially overcast with fluffy gray clouds. The breeze was blowing lightly and the mosquitoes were all excited that we came to visit. There weren't a ton of mosquitoes so it was still nice. We ate, and talked, and stared at each other, and then the moment arrived. Keefe pulled out a ring box and slowly asked, "Would you like...(and then he opened the box as he said the rest) to have a bubble gum war?" and inside the box, where the ring should be, were two pieces of Chicklets gum. I said yes, but we already had gum because I had some and had offered it earlier. By the way, I never have gum, and I totally felt bad that I had ruined his great gum plan. And then he pulled out the ring and gave it to me and asked me if I would like to be Mrs, Fillerup and I said, "YES!" Then the sun was going down so he took me home. It was wonderful and I have felt very good ever since. The ring is gorgeous! Keefe picked it out himself. I tell you what, I got me the best guy on the face of the planet! We are excited!!!!!
