The Proposal

A couple of my blogging buddies said they wanted to know more about the "I was proposed to on a softball field" fact from my last post. Since the 1 year anniversary of this event just passed not too long ago (April 13) I suppose a commemoration is in order. The day after we got engaged Bryce wrote a note on Facebook explaining how we proposed. I think it's a lot funnier in his words so I'm going copy and paste and let him tell the story. He titled this note "How it went Down."

Bryce, you're on...

"Hey friends as you know me and McKenzie have FINALLY taken the big step and are engaged to be married hopefully on August 25th in the Newport Beach Temple, I just wanted to say thanks for all the support and love it means a lot, so here's how it went down. Lets start with Tuesday, I drove to downtown LA picked out and purchased the ring all by myself in less than an hour, I should give Claude the Armenian a shout for giving me a killer deal. Wednesday, got permission from McKenzie’s mom and dad, yeah, scariest half hour of my life, but I walked out alive. Friday its a beautiful day so we went to the park with Bailey (my dog) to play and throw a softball around, one of our favorite past times. So I go to the mound and start pitching the softball to her, after five or six times I purposely threw the ball over her head, as her back was turned to me I grabbed the ring from my pocket and hide it behind my back. As she threw the ball back to me with one quick motion I put the ring in my glove with the ball so she couldn't see it. I then told her to "get ready for the greatest pitch in the world", she said something like "OK cool hurry up" so instead of throwing the softball back I threw the ring box with ring inside it, needless to say she was caught completely off guard as the ring flew threw the air landing harmlessly in her glove, so I ran down dropped to the knee and the rest is history. And that’s how the proposal went down."

Pretty funny huh? I told him that it was pretty creative especially because there aren't many girls who would be overjoyed to be proposed to on a Softball field, but I was. Oh and by the way, it was Friday the 13th!

This is the field in Rossmoor

This is what I got (Notice the board shorts I'm wearing... I really wasn't expecting anything besides some softball in the park)

Bryce right afterwards... so happy!

And as he said, the rest was history.

Ev and Whit, There's No doubt in my mind that THIS had something to do with it.... :)
