BIIIIIIGGG NEWS!!!!
Mr. and Mrs. Ron Nielson are sooo ecstatic to announce the engagement of their sweeter than sweet, cuter than cute, Marci Dawn Nielson!!! Marci got engaged to Brian Bothwell on Thursday, Nov. 12. We are thrilled!! Even though Brian has met the family he still wants to marry sweet Marci. Brave guy huh? I'm secretly hoping he can give R.T. some dating ideas :) This young man knows how to plan a date. And the engagement. . . . . don't even get me started! Well ok, since you asked. . . It all started with a trip to the store for lunchables then on to the baseball field. (They met there around July 24, 2004) They played a little softball and then drove to Bluff. After a brief stop at the Twin Rocks to buy a dream catcher kit (Marci had been wanting to make one) and a mystery gift (for Christmas) it was on to the goose necks! They spent a wonderful day hiking and having a photo contest which I might add, produced some very awesome pictures. Anyway, they had a great day with many opportunities for Brian to propose, which he didn't do. At the end of the day Brian commented on what a fun date it had been and it was time to head home. Marci, being very disappointed (she was hoping this would be the day) settled quietly in her seat for the ride home. After driving for a few miles Brian pulls over and gets out and starts coloring (sorry if I get the details wrong) anyway he tells her to get out and come look at something. He then asks her if she would like her mystery Christmas present today. She says yes thinking its turquoise because he bought it at Twin Rocks. So. . . He gets down on one knee and asks her to marry him as he opens up . . . you got it.....THE RING!! As luck would have it, some tourists stopped to take some pics and they took some of Marci and Brian right after they got engaged. AAAHH. Funny part of the whole thing is that Marci brought the ring down to Monticello and didn't know it!! Ha Ha!! Brian is good. He had Annie (Marci's BFF) pick up the ring and put it with some stuff (important stuff for Annie's brother Dallin) and ask Marci to deliver it to Annie's mom. Annie stressed to Marci several times the importance of this package going straight to Susanne the minute she pulled in to Monticello.
Well back to how happy we are. Marci always said would only marry a man with a plan. This man has a plan! He is applying to pharmacy school and will be finding out soon where he/they will be going. Mom and dad could not be more happy with this news!! Brian will make a great addition to our family. We love him already!! I'm pretty sure Easton was as thrilled as Marci :) The Nielson clan is growing fast!! We LOVE it. I would just like to end with this thought. . . . . BRING ON THE GRANDKIDS!!!!! (not too soon) well maybe. no not yet. but if it happens it ok :)
