Lake Powell 2012

Hello blog world.  I have much to blog about.  I decided to start with my recent trip to Lake Powell.  It's the Bowen tradition to go to Lake Powell every summer, and this was the second time going with them.  I thought this would be a normal trip, but it was far from that.  For a while now, Kevin and I have been planning our wedding, without being engaged.  We decided probably about 3 or 4 months ago to for sure get married, and Kevin called the temple to confirm a date in April.  So, I knew a proposal was coming.  However, I did not think it was going to happen in Powell because a) he told me he didn't have the ring yet, and b) he's usually a really bad liar when it comes to this kind of thing.  When he bought the diamond with his uncle, he called me on the way home telling me all about it, so I thought for sure I knew when the proposal was coming.  I was wrong.

It happened on our second day there (I think.)  Time is very weird in Powell, the days seem to mesh together.  My most favorite thing to do in Lake Powell is tube.  I love it, except the fact that sometimes you get minor whip lash.  So when the time came to go tubing I was all for it.  I didn't seem to notice that only the  Bowen family was going, and that multiple cameras, the video camera, and martinellis were also along for the ride.  Once we got on the tube we were in this pretty channel.  We started going really slow and I was a little confused on why we weren't going on the normal death ride I was used to.  All this time his family was taking pictures and filming.  Then Kevin starts shifting on the tube and I thought we were going to try to stand up or something.  (I was so obvlivious.) He was on his knee and I was still trying to figure out what we were doing when he proposed and pulls out the fake ring. (the real ring was on the boat just in case of an accidental drop in the lake).  I was very shocked.  I probably asked him 25 times if he was serious.  Then I said yes, we hugged, kissed, fell in the lake, and took pictures and drank martinellis with his family.  I am so excited and happy.  I found my match, my best friend, and my eternal companion.

I do not have any pictures of the event because it's not on my computer.  Once I get them I'll post a few.  There are only a few decent ones because I am sunburned, in shock, and soaking wet.  All of that doesn't matter because I had the most perfect engagement.
