I was in Ecuador for about three months serving the beautiful Ecuadorian children. On March 18, 2008 I had to head back home to the good ol' US of A.Koby sent a present for me with my sister. I was suppose to open it on the plane ride to the US. I opened it the night before though, just cause I couldn't wait! It was a book of reasons why he loved me and what he missed most while I was gone. He also sent a really nice letter telling me in his own words how he loved me. I had about a five hour layover in Houston, Texas before I could make the last leg of my trip home to Salt Lake. Oh, I have to go back a little bit to the Quito, Ecuador airport. I was sitting there waiting to board the plane when I heard my name called over the intercom. I wasn't for sure that it was really me so I waited. I heard it a couple more times and then finally asked an attendant about it. I had to go and watch them deflate a couple soccer balls that were in one of my suitcases. Ok, now back to Houston. I was waiting around and had found out that my flight was delayed. It got delayed more than once. So I went with Melissa and waited by her gate. We were just sitting by a wall waiting and kinda fighting. Ok, ok it was me. I hadn't slept at all the night before. I heard my name over the intercom and that just made me even more upset, or annoyed really. I thought maybe my flight got changed again, so I was gathering all my stuff, my phone rang so I was telling my mom that I had to go and then I looked up and saw Koby standing there. I was like "Koby? Koby! What are you doing here?". I was so surprised! This lady handed me an envelope and said "oh, I think ya dropped this!" So I opened it and it had the last picture to my book in it! I looked at the picture and then he got down on one knee and popped the question. I was so shocked, he had to ask me twice!! He finally got me to wake up and answer and obviously I said "YES!". It was a very happy moment for me!! It was a crazy day, but good and is most definately unforgettable!
