This year was a very special Thanksgiving. First of all, my whole family was able to come home and eat the Thanksgiving Feast. Rachel, Elden, and Kori all came up from St. George; Becky Russ, and little Kaylee came from Eagle Mountain; and us "basement buddies" were at home.
I carefully planned this day out and went and picked up Lynzee at 10:30am. When I got to her house I told her that I had a "cheesy" surprise that required her to be blindfolded. I put the blind fold over her and circled around the neighborhood for 20 minutes or so. During this time Lynzee's entire family gathered together at my house.
I had a shirt specially made for each person in the family that spelled out the phrase "Would you marry me?" Our two families gathered together on my front lawn to spell out the question. When we pulled up in the car I put on my shirt which had the question mark and I had two shirts for Lynzee to choose from (a nice "yes" shirt with a diamond ring on it, or a dirty "no" shirt).
I parked in our neighbors drive way and told Lynzee that we would have to walk for a little bit. I walked Lynzee up into position and I got on my knee with flowers in one hand and the ring in the other. Lynzee then took off the blindfold and was completed shocked at the proposal. She said yes, and we are set to be married on April 10th, 2009. Thanks everyone again for the help, I LOVE YOU LYNZEE!
