How we got engaged
Justin was working in Boise, and I flew out to see him for the weekend. He made reservations at our favorite restaurant Barbecoa. While we were getting ready he was acting especially weird. He kept finding excuses to run out to his truck. I definitely knew something was up. I was in the hotel room getting ready while he was supposedly getting a cab. He had secretly arranged for a limo to pick us up for dinner, but it was late. So Justin was outside pacing back and forth with a rose and champaign in his hands, hoping I wouldn’t come downstairs before the limo arrived. I would’ve paid money to see this! The limo did make it before I came down, which is no surprise since I’m a Nelson and being on time doesn’t seem to be our forte. When I got in the limo, Justin got down on one knee and…swallowed a lot. I think he had a grapefruit stuck in his throat. Not much came out of his mouth, but I got the point!
