I LOVE Surprises!!!

Saturday October 1st

I was talking to Brendan on the phone and was having another one of those moments (for those of you who don't know what one of those moments are for me that is when I am in tears not wanting to be in Idaho Falls anymore and really just wanting to be in Boise with Brendan). While I was crying Brendan asked me if there was anything he could do for me. I told him that all I wanted was for him to have his arms around me. His response was "Witney my arms are always around you". I then told him that I didn't want to pretend anymore that I just wanted everything to go through so that I could just be with him. We then just continued talking and Brendan got me to stop crying and then he said he was tired and wanted to go to bed. Understandable considering he worked all day long and it was close to midnight. So we went to bed.

Sunday October 2nd

My phone starts ringing at 8:46am. I at this point am slightly confused because it was Sunday morning and I didn't think I had set an alarm. When I finally woken up enough to realize that it was Brendan calling me I answered it and started talking. Conversation went a little like this...

Witney: Good morning

Brendan: Good morning beautiful

Witney: Are you heading to Nathans?
(knowing the night before that he was going to go over there for breakfast and conference.)

Brendan: I'm on the road yes

Witney: When did you wake up?

Brendan: I have been up for a while now.

Witney: Did you get up at 8?

Brendan: A little bit before then I couldn't sleep.

Witney: oh man I hate it when that happens.

then some more stuff was said that I don't remember...

Brendan: Witney I love you more than anything, you know that right?

Witney: Yes I know and I love you more than anything too.

Brendan:  You know that I would do anything for you right?

Witney: Yeah I remember you telling me that once haha.

Brendan: Once?

Witney: Ok maybe more then once I lost count once I ran out of fingers.

Brendan: Witney... you don't need to pretend anymore... come outside.

Witney: What?

Brendan: Come outside Witney.

I then got out of my bed looked out the window and there was Brendan driving into my driveway. So I ran outside gave him a huge hug and said. "What are you doing here?" (by the way I'm crying) and then we hugged and kissed and I was so excited to see him.

I found out later once I had calmed down from all the excitement that when I had told him that I was done pretending he had set his alarm for 4:30 at that moment so that he could wake up early enough to come and spend the day with me.

Today was the best day ever. I got to spend it with my best friend and even if it was only for a few hours it was better then not being with him at all. I love you Brendan Owen thank you for everything you do for me.

Thank You!!!

First off thanks to all of you how commented and left your opinion it helped in making up my mind.

The Day That Changed Everything!!!

Every story has a beginning and here's ours.

February 4th, 2011 was a night that Witney Lasley hopes she will never forget because this was the night that she found her love for eternity.

Ring!!! Ring!!!

"Hello" says Witney

"Hey beautiful" said Brendan like he always does.

" Witney, can we go to the Jungle Room tonight?" asked Brendan

"Sure" says Witney

"Sweet, see you in a little bit then"

Knock!!! Knock!!!

"Hey!!!" says Witney

"Ready?" Asks Brendan

"Yup"

As they

          walk

                  down

                          the

                                stairs

                                         Brendan turns to go to his car.

"What are you doing?" asks Witney

 "Going to the car so that we can drive there" says Brendan

"ummm... I don't think so" says Witney "It's right up the hill"

PLEASE!?! Brendan begged

NO!!  Witney Answered

"fine" Brendan said with a worried look

                                                           Benson

                                                   the                           

                                            to

                                   hill

                            the

                        up

           walked

    they

So

When they arrived to the Jungle Room there was already people there so they went to the Desert Room instead. They walked and talked about nothing to important until...

"Witney" Brendan turns Witney to face him "I wrote you a poem last night can I tell it to you?"

with a smile Witney replys "Of course"

Witney will you stand with me

Into all Eternity

Love me when you're standing tall

Lean on me when feeling small

Yearn to hear me speak your name

On the rooftops, there proclame

Until death, is nothing when

Marriage is not by the pen

Ask of me eternal life

Require it as my wife

Run to me when I come home

Yes I did I just said home

Mine and yours that soon will be

Ever more, a family

Brendan than got down on one knee and said

"Witney, will you marry me?"

Witney fell to her knees, wrapped her arms around him and said...

YES!!!

Brendan then lifted her up and gently kissed her. He then whispered in her ear

"there's one little problem"

"What!" Witney said alarmed

"The ring is in the car" Brendan said with a smile

"I knew it" Witney shouted

and they both laughed at Witneys stubberness.

They

      then

               walked

                         down

                                 from

                                        the

                                            Benson

and to the car

When they got to the car they got in and drove to Nature Park. Where Brendan got back down on one knee and put the ring on Witney's finger.

Our Not So Long Pre-Engagment Dating Experience

The next morning after our first date I moved back up to school. When I got up to Rexburg and unpacked bought all my books and then finally settled in that's when I started to panic. The night before I went on a date with the most amazing guy in the whole world and even kissed him... now what? I was so worried that I would never see him or talk to him again.

That night when I was kind of down in the dumps, Bishop and his counselor came over to talk to my apartment and to sent me apart as the new Relief Society President for our student ward. As we were standing in the living room talking I heard my phone go off in a right tone I did not recognize, and then ran to the back room and saw that it was Brendan calling me. I was so EXCITED!!! but I also had the Bishop in my living room waiting to set me apart. So I answered it and said "Brendan I'm sorry but I need to call you back in a minute... my Bishop is here to set me apart." We hung up and then I went and got set apart. When the Bishop and his counselors finally left I ran back to my room and called him Brendan back. We talked for 2 hours that night. That night he also asked me when he could see me again. What I wanted to say is right now but of course I had to make him work a little harder then that so I told him that Saturday would probably be best.

The next day he called me around the same time and then we talked for 2 almost 3 hours about everything. I wanted to learn more about him and he wanted to learn more about me. This was also the night that he sheepishly asked me a question that I knew would change everything... it went a little like this. "Witney I have a question for you." And I said "ok whats that?" he then asked "Can I call you my girlfriend" long pause.......... me thinking ( my mom is going to kill me) " Yes!!! I would love that" we then went on talking about everything else we could think of. 

January 6th we talked on the phone for 3 1/2 hours where I was able to recite each of his brothers and sisters names order and birthdays (creepy).

January 7th we are talking on facebook and I ask him if he would like to come down that night as well as Saturday for our date. he agrees to come and then leaves as soon as he could. I ran over to my friends apartment thinking he would be about a half hour.15 min's later he calls me to ask where my apartment is. I told him where I lived and then literally ran home and made it home just in time. I was so so so so so excited.

January 8th Second official date. He showed up around 12ish at my apartment and then we went and walked around Nature Park. We then went and watched Princess Bride. This was the day that Lindsay had her baby shower and the whole family was up so when he received a phone call from Nathan asking him if he was going to come and see everyone before they left. Brendan told him that we would and so we left to Idaho Falls to go see the whole family. Yes that is right Second date I meet the family.

After these most important days... it was smooth sailing.... everyday was perfect. We have never missed a day since then either seeing each other or talking to each other either on skype or facebook or the phone.
