It turns out Richard did have a plan. He proposed to me (Becky) on November 19th 2005 in the most romantic way, I loved it. We already had our Temple date set for March 11th 2006, so now all that was left was announcing it to the family. We met up with my brothers Chris and Joey and their family's and my Mom at Chili's, and we announced it there. After that it was chaos...everyone called someone, and expected me to talk to all of them at the same time. I loved it!! Also, my brother Ben, after he got done with me, decided to interrogate Richard to make sure he could take care of me. Later he did tell Richard something to the effect of - "Sorry if I scared ya, but I kind of like my sister, ya know?"

For Halloween we went as a Granger football player and a "cheerleader." That was awesome because Richard went to Hunter, and swears the Hunter is better. (Ha!! Go Granger!!) We went to the family's ward where Richard was staying at the time - Jason and Jan - to do trunk-or-treating with their kids, however we couldn't find them. We ended up spending that Halloween going for a walk around their neighborhood.

After our first date on October 6th, we continued to date and became an exclusive couple. Within a couple of weeks we were talking about a wedding date (yes it was soon, but it was right) The date was finally decided and we booked the Temple's. Planning was hard because I didn't have a ring and we didn't want to tell anyone without a ring. We did finally tell my mother. She was thrilled and offered Richard a loan so he could get the ring and start the planning. He told her that he had a plan though.

Our first date

Our first date was a blind date, we each went with friends so they wouldn't have to go alone. We went and watched the Tabernacle Choir rehearse and then walked around Temple Square for awhile. Richard was so nervous to get his picture taken with me, but I wanted a picture of us. (I really liked him) He always teases me now, saying I'm weird and was trying to grab his butt.
