On October 21, I took the day off of work and Nathan had a plan in place for what he was going to reward me with... he kept saying that he is going to take me to see the Little Mermaid and I kept telling him it was sold out. Well, at 5am that morning, he came into my room and woke me up with a video camera in my face. I quickly got dressed and as I was walking out the door, my mom handed me a backpack with snacks, a hat and some sunscreen. That's when I thought that we are probably going hiking, boy was I wrong! He got on the freeway and started to play disney songs, including Kiss the Girl and Under the Sea. He headed like he was going south towards St. George, but then he all of a sudden went North. I was confused, where were we going? then he started to go west. In my head I thought we were going to Erda or Wendover... fun.? But he got off at the airport exit. I asked him, what we were doing at the airport and he wouldn't tell me. Once we got inside, he gave me my ticket so that I could get through security. The ticket was to Los Angeles, California! He didn't tell me whay just smiled. Once we got checked in and went through security, we had some time, so we decided to get some breakfast. During breakfast he decided to tell me where we were going. He told me to close my eyes and when I opened, there was my ticket to Disneyland! I was shocked! He really was taking me to go see the Little Mermaid!
When we got to Los Angeles, we rented a car and 30 minutes later we were at Disneyland! I was so excited and he was excited too. We walked in the park and he went to the bathroom, while I waited outside. Then, we walked down Disney Main. I could tell he was excited and happy and I thought it was because he surprised me! He took me around in front of Cinderellas castle and I kissed him and he told me how much he loved me and how it had been an amazing 2 years. He then got down on his knee, pulled the ring out and said, "Natalie will you marry me?" I freaked out! I threw my arms around him and said Oh my gosh! Yes!! and then I somthered him in kisses. After a few minutes he asked if I wanted to see the ring... Oh ya, the ring! So he showed me and put it on my finger and then I noticed that Jason and Jemay (Nathan's brother and sister-in-law) were standing there with the video camera.... Nathan had met up with them in the bathroom to hand off the camera and they were following us the whole time! It was so perfect! I then found out that my mom was in on it... she had known for weeks, because he took her out to dinner to ask her permission to marry me.
We then began the phone calls. We called his mom, his dad, my mom, my dad, my sisters, brothers, his sister, and then I sent a text out to my friends. The rest of the day we spent riding rides and just enjoying ourselves. We left the park around 6 and headed back to the airport to catch our plane back home. It was a perfect day and now I get to marry me the perfect man!
