Engaged!!!! We got engaged!!!!

For those enquiring minds and want to know how it went that we got engaged- It went a little like this-

This story will be told from both of our points of view-

Amanda- The day started off with a surprise done by Jeff, he wouldn't tell me where we were going.

Jeff- That's because I wanted this to be really special.

Amanda- So after a long long drive in the car, we ended up in Oakley Utah
Jeff- Which I am pretty sure its little house on the prairie land. There is nothing out there!


Amanda- It was really pretty though.

So anyways- We arrived at Stillman Ranch and Jeff told me we were going horseback riding. Our ride ended up being a private ride- Just us two and the tour guide/mountain man.

Jeff- The guy was cool and had lots of cool stories, that he really enjoyed telling.

Amanda- So our ride was up in the Uintah Mountains, it was such a beautiful view and and beautiful day and very beautiful scenery. It was nice to be out and doing this.
Jeff- yeah it was cool.

Amanda- This was extra special touching to me, because I love to ride horses and just enjoy being around horses, so it was such a cute surprise and I loved it. Very thoughtful.
It was alot of fun because it was Jeff's first time riding a horse, so it was fun to see him be a bit nervous.

Jeff- Yeah horses scare me, but I enjoyed it alot.

















Then after our 2 hour ride, we ate lunch in Oakley at a Old 50's rail car turned into a restaurant. Great food.

Amanda- Yes it was, plus it was very good food.
Fast forward a few hours later-

Amanda- Jeff then took me to a quaint Italian restaurant that had a outdoor patio with a waterfall and lights and it was very romantic.

Jeff- It was cool, the food was alright.

Amanda- then after dinner we went for a walk to temple square and checked out Joseph Smith Memorial Building and then he took me on a carriage ride around town.

Jeff- Love carriage rides, the drivers are a bit weird. But it's fun to be in the spotlight, because everyone looks at you as you ride by. I wanted to show off my baby, she looked beautiful!



Amanda- It was very romantic, and we got to see the city in a different light, plus I have always wanted to take a carriage ride since I moved to Utah in 2004. So it was awesome.
After the carriage ride we walked back to our car, we checked out some cool artwork in the Utah Symphony house.

I felt like something was on Jeff's mind all night, but he never would admit to anything.

Jeff- What would I say, I guess that would've been an opportune time to propose but I didn't.

Amanda- On our way back to the house, Jeff mentioned he wanted to see the new development up in North Salt Lake.

Jeff- That is one thing I like to do, drive around looking at fancy houses.

Amanda- So he drove to the top of the mountain, and we found a great view of the city (both salt lake and up to Farmington), he stopped the car, and he got out of the car and he started telling me how much his life has changed in the past year and how his feelings are for me. And before I knew it, Jeff was on his knee asking for my hand in marriage.


Jeff- I said, Amanda Prince will you marry me?

Amanda- All I could do was say-Yes, yes!! I felt that night was absolutely perfect!

Jeff- and so now were Engaged!
