Funny story actually. My best friend Jessica really wanted to go to this guys house. "its like a 30:1 ratio Bre!" Pulling my arm we went on our way. Then I saw Jon. Oh cute Jon! I didn't even look at the 30 other guys. A bunch of us were goofing around with some handcuffs and seeing who could get out of them. (i.e. handcuffing peoples feet together and what not) I ended up hand cuffing my foot to Jon's hand... and we couldn't get out.... and Jon's friend David who had the key had just left.... so Jon and I were stuck Hand and Foot together for a couple hours. We've been unseperable ever since =)

Jon did. He's adorable. We went sledding, then went and saw 27 dresses and then went on a carriage ride around downtown where our horse went crazy and kept running into the street on red lights. By then I kinda new what was up and was just waiting for it, well it didnt happen on the carriage ride and we went to the dinner at the roof. Still didn't happen??? We then walked around Temple square and stopped in front of the "Mermaid Fountain" (the one on the south side of the Temple that looks like a clam shell) and he hugged me and I heard his heart going thump thump thump and just started laughing.
