Hi, It's Jen. I heard some of you wanted to hear my side of the story.
It was perfect. I was stressed out because I REALLY wanted to go to the temple but I REALLY wanted us to pick up the ring. But Layne figured it all out. We were going to go to the temple and then go get the ring. It seemed like it might work and he was so confident that I was able to relax. Everything was going to be okay. Then he kept talking about our plans for the weekend. (We had planned on Layne proposing on Saturday.) He asked if I had figured out how I would answer when he proposed and I said I knew the general idea but not the specifics. So we went to the temple and I told Layne that there were paths behind the temple and I wondered if he had seen them. He asked me to show them to him. So as we walked along the paths in the woods behind the temple he just stopped and got down on his knee and asked "Jennifer will you marry me" I said "I will" and now we are engaged. It was perfect.

That was beautiful, Jen. Simple and elegant and at the temple. I am so excited about meeting you and seeing you with Layne. I am very pleased that you have come into his life and have given him the happiness that he has deserved now for such a long time. Thank you!
You two are so cute! What a good engagement! Thanks for sharing!
Do we get to see a picture of the ring?
We tried to take a few pictures but we couldn't get the camera to auto focus on the ring up close so none of them really worked. The pictures have all been fuzzy and dissapointing. We will keep trying.
You could just tell us what it looks like....
gold, white gold, silver, platnum?
size of the diamond?
stuff like that.... :)
Congratulations!! I look forward to meeting you and sharing in your special day. Layne....you did good!
Congratulations to both of you! We are very happy for you.

Wow!! What a sweet way to begin the process of becoming one! The temple is the key to becoming all that you can be. What we learn there and experience there and what we take with us from there. In the temple I ask Heavenly Father to help me understand some new principle each time. It is amazing what insight I get as little by little I become aware of some of the mysteries of Heaven. We love you both and look forward to sharing our lives with you. The blessing of faithfully living and growing in the gospel cannot be overstated. Only those who live those standards know and understand the blessing that come therefrom. DAD
