I guess it's been almost a week and I should probably make the formal announcement. Sara an I are engaged. I proposed last Saturday while we were walking on the path by the ponds. We stopped at the Utah House and after sitting there for a bit, as I was coming up with what to say, I finally said "There's just no good way to lead into this" and I got down on one knee and asked Sara Caroline Behnke if she would marry me and she said yes.
She had a good idea that it was coming though, when we left Provo we picked up Brent so that all the boys could go to the Priesthood session together. Brent didn't answer his phone so Sara ran up to the door to get him. Sammi and Amber answered and while Amber was going to get Brent, Sammi said "I have a ring for you, no, my daddy has a ring for you. Let me go get it." The night before when Sara's mom was visiting we went to Brent and Amber's to play some games and while Amber was distracting Sara I showed her mom the ring but I wasn't able to put the ring in my jacket and so I left it there. Sammi saw Brent putting the ring in his bag and she asked about it and Brent explained that Uncle Will was going to give it to Aunt Sara. Well Sammi got a little confused about that fact and just know that Aunt Sara was going to get a ring. She couldn't find Brent's bag so instead she grabbed the Safari Mr. Potato Head and showed Sara the earring that was on it but by that point Sara had a pretty good idea of what was going to be happening.
