From our very own Mother Teresa ;)

Note from Rachael: This is May's prompt. I've always loved this story. It just cracks me up! All of the kids have heard it I think, but I don't know that our spouses (or the grandkids) have. Enjoy!

 Ray came to Provo in a little blue vw from California to see me and I had worried it would be so awkward--should I hug him?  shake his hand?  just look at him?  He came and I think it was just NOTHING and then I must have fed him something after his long drive and then we talked on my apartment couch all night.  Then I went to work and he went to a friend's house and slept.  The next night we went swimming and then he drove me over to a little park by where Raymond and Julie used to live and started talking about my boy friends etc. like he wanted to break up and I thought about helping him out and then the thought came to me "no, I'll just let him do this on his own". I have to interject here: growing up the story was that as dad was just talking with no assistance from mom she was looking out the car window either crying or trying not to. HAHA Can you imagine? Her body language should have scared off a proposal! hahaha Then he said, "Well, I'm just trying to say if you'll marry me?"  Well, after all that, I said, "when?"  He said he thought about Dec or Jan.  My response was, "Well, ask me in Nov or Dec."  I figured if he was just testing the water and wasn't sure, I was going to keep dating.  But he said, "Well, when do you want to get married?"  I said, "August".  Well, I guess he had to make up his mind fast, didn't he?  This was July 7, 1970.  We were married August 28--his dad's birthday.  We had to hurry so we didn't back out.

The question is, did mom actually ever say yes? Just, "When?" hahaha I'm sorry I just really find the story terribly funny.
