Once upon a time, I met Cameron William Cox. We were friends in college, and currently, we have known each other for over a year. We stayed in contact, even when we were separated over the summer, and our friendship continued, and I shall have you know, I did NOT come to school at BYU-I(do), to get married. One day, at the beginning of last semester, Cameron asked me out and...I came home and cried. Not because he was weird, or smelled like celery, but it was that we were friends and I didn't want to date and have things go south, I didn't want to hurt our friendship, which I cherished. I agreed to let him take me out, and our first date was to the Teton Dam, on our first date, Cameron spilled his soda on me. What a keeper. ;)
After about 3 weeks and many dates, we became official. I had already met most of his family, and I tried to dump him 2 times, still afraid that if we got too serious, it might mess up our friendship, to counteract that, naturally, we started dating officially. Yes. Our first kiss was an accident, and when it happened I looked at him for about ten solid minutes unable to believe it happened! I went in to kiss him on the cheek (he did it to me, it was only fair that I get to do it to him) and he kissed me right on the mouth. :* We dated for 5 months, he asked my dad for permission, and got it, and on February 21st, he got down on one knee and asked me to marry him.
Well, he lied to me, and said he didn't have the ring, but of course, he did. He lied to me and said that we were going to celebrate his brothers birthday a day early. He lied and said a bunch of his family was coming to celebrate this brothers birthday. He lied and said he wasn't going to proposed until March. And I believed him, and was completely surprised. We decided to go and "feed the ducks" (that's what they are calling it these days apparently), so that Cameron's nephews could run around and play, but we got separated from his family and were walking down on a pier in Idaho Falls. We stopped and he proposed with the Idaho Falls temple in the background, and a bunch of flashing camera's from the bush next to us! I don't know if he knows what he is getting himself into, because I sleep punch, and eat cheese and Nutella together, and do other bizzare things, but I do know one thing: Cameron makes me so happy and I can think of nothing better than to be with him for eternity.
Just after he proposed-We are SO happy!!!
I just want to say a quick thank you to all who could come, and all who helped out! I love you all. I am so excited to become Mrs. Ashley Cox!
So now you know what my life has been like, and I can't even think about wedding things until I finish this semester or my grades will all tank. Not focusing on a wedding is so difficult, but it will be okay. The good Lord loves me, and I am so happy with things! I never thought I'd get to call Cameron mine, but I wouldn't trade him for anything. Have a great week!
-Ashley!
