Wow, 10/14/2000 is the date Danny proposed to me. That seems SO LONG AGO!!! It was my birthday weekend and he took me to downtown SLC to go on a mini shopping spree at Crossroads Plaza (does that place still exist??) all the while he was in phone conversations with my best friend Jayne who was trying to get a hold of my ring from the jewler so it could get to Danny's hand by that night. Poor Jayne was running ragged between Provo, SLC, flower shop, restaurants etc.... When we got back to our hotel room there was a catered meal with a huge vase of roses on the table and the view from our window overlooked Symphony Hall. While eating Danny apologized to me because a professional chef was supposed to be in the room to cook the meal in front of us but last minute issues came up so poor Jayne had to grab our dinner from elsewhere, it was still yummy though but the professional chef thing would have been cool had it worked out. THEN, Danny surprised me with tickets to the symphony so we got ready (I LOVE dressing up!!!!) and walked across the street and I found it strange that Danny kept looking around the room so I finally asked him who he was looking for and he replied, "no one." The night went on and still no one did pop out to surprise us, maybe Danny was getting nervous, I don't know. Anyway, we were walking back to our hotel and as I was about to walk in Danny said, "wait" while he looked in and then he allowed me in to find MORE roses and a big box with a BIG shiny bow (gotta love shiny!!!) and he said, "Happy Birthday" so when I opened it, there was a ring box so that is when he got down on one knee and proposed and of course I said, Yes!
UPDATE: I asked Danny a while ago what he was thinking after he proposed and he said he did have a little bit of "hmm, what did I just do?" type of feeling but it passed quickly and we've never looked back after being married for 7 years!! Love you, Danny!!
