April 2nd - April 5th
I love this picture of us!!!
Donny and I met in Arkadelphia AR for a long weekend since he was not going to be able to make it here in May. He was off for Good Friday thru Monday so we decided this would be a good time to meet in the middle!!! My sister, Linds, and her boyfriend, Wendell, went with me so would could all just hang out and have a fun weekend.
We met around 3 at the Comfort Inn hotel and got checked in and got all of stuff into the room. We just hung out for a while then went to El Mariachi for dinner and then headed to Hot Springs AR for a late movie. We went to see Alice in Wonderland, not my choice but it was a really good movie!!!!! We got back to the hotel and played some games and stayed up late or should I say early, ha-ha.
Saturday morning we slept in for a little while and then went to lunch at Cracker Barrel then headed to Hot Springs. We went to a mall for a little bit then headed up to the Mountain Tower. In the Mountain Tower you go up 1256 feet above sea level and can see out 140 miles, it is so pretty and peaceful up there with all the beauty God has created!!! After we hung out up there for a while we walked around downtown Hot Springs and had a little mini photo shot. Donny was not feeling very well, he was queasy to his stomach (Little did I know it was because he was nervous) but we got some cute pictures from that day!! We went to dinner at Chili’s then headed back to the hotel for a movie/nap, I was tired and fell asleep for a little while, HA-HA.

We got up Sunday morning and got ready for church, we went to Aaron and Rachel Ward’s church, then went to lunch with them to Little Italy, a really good little authentic Italian place in Arkadelphia, AR!! We had a good time visiting with them. Then we headed back to the hotel for more pictures in our cute outfits and to change clothes. We all changed and headed to the Crater of Diamonds in Murfreesboro, AR for a little fun digging in the dirt!!! Well little did I know this is the place where I would become the happiest girl in the world, speechless, shocked, blessed, and so much more!!! How the proposal happened: Well I was standing up looking at a rock while Wendell was taking a picture of me! Donny was behind me on his knees holding the ring and so Wendell snapped a picture of him too. They all started giggling and I had no clue why so when I turned around he hid the ring and I asked why they were laughing and Donny just told me he found a big rock. So I asked to see the picture but Donny said no let me just show you the rock. Then he pulled out the ring!!! I was so SHOCKED!!!! I asked him if he was serious!!!!!! He said of course I am, will you be my wife and spend the rest of your life with me!!!! It took me a minute to get the word YES out because I was so speechless!!! I had no clue whatsoever that it was going to happen!!!! They had it all planned out, even the sound to make (cocka-cocka) to let everyone know it was time. Linds videotaped it while Wendell took pictures!!! I couldn't stop smiling and still can’t!!!!! We went back to the hotel and all changed and went to dinner at Outback to celebrate. After dinner we went to another late movie to see Clash of the Titians, another good movie. We got back to the hotel and just hung out for awhile before bed.
After Lunch on Sunday
I was shocked and still have the little shovel in my hand!!
Smiling like crazy!!!
Monday morning we got up and cleaned the messy room showered and checked out. We went to lunch at Chicken Express and went out for a little Geocaching!!! We headed back to the hotel to pick up the car and say our goodbyes. It is so hard to say good bye, it sucks!!!!! But soon it will no longer have to happen cause WE ARE GETTING MARRIED!!!!!!!!!!! OMG I am still trying to get use to saying that I am getting married!!!
The happy couple right afterwards!!
The "ROCK"
