I am engaged! I Love My Life!
I, Kyle Gregory Harper will be getting Married to Shandra Kay Worthen, June 18th @ 9:40 a.m. in the Salt Lake City Temple. What a joy. I went down to Cedar City this weekend and purposed and she said yes!
Well, here is the story. I drove down to Cedar Friday evening and we spent a lot of time together. She had to leave for a show at 9 and that is when I set up a scavenger hunt around town. We were able to spend the evening together after the show and it was magical. The next morning we went to the St. George temple (11/14/09) and we did baptisms for the dead. Following this we went to In and Out Burger for lunch and then drove back to Cedar. As we drove, there was magic in the air, it was a sunny day and Shani and I were both very happy (and she wasn't aware I would purpose!). When we got back, she commenced preparations to make a mask for her school project. Frantic to start the scavenger hunt, I called Joe Keeler (with whom I had previously arraigned to pick me up and help him "ask a girl to a dance" . . . we then proceeded to start the hunt and I sent the first clue. I told her that I left my phone in the car and I needed her to grab it for me. I had left my keys in my jacket. She then proceeded to the vehicle to find a note on the drivers seat, reading

I have a game, a jovial chase,

To find the treasure in this place.

If you cannot find a clue,

A text or two will get you through.

You’ll use my car, here take the keys.

Now don’t set your nerves at ease.

To start this hunt we shall truly see

Who’s “To be or not to be?”

She runs to a place called the smart people where the next clue reads,

On this quaint stage the tales are told

In summer sun or freezing cold.

Look on the stairway to the west,

Need I say more, you’ll pass the test!

So she quickly runs to the Adams Theater. Where she finds,

Quite fond of this my wee little lass,

Come right on in we’ll pour ya a glass.

Here they’ll dance a jig or two,

For that is what we Irish do!

In the back by the door.

So she then runs to the Pub! Finding a clue leading to Roberto's restaurant.

Hay Mujer come take a seat,

Un Burrito sure is a treat!

Mire nuestro restaurante,

Vamanos, pues adelante!

The clue here led her to the True T-bird site!

Here’s the place if you haven’t heard,

To become a true T-bird!

On this site I had place this next clue!

Here’s where we find a parked car,

2 hours gone, tires on the tar.

To find the next clue and token of love,

Look in the place where you’d keep a glove.

The next clue read.

Once again this place you’ll go

Putting on the big old show.

Listen to this CD # 1 and #2

Get the Smart People, something’s waiting for you!

By the way I love you!

She the proceeded to drive around and listen to the songs and I was patiently waiting for here to meet me at the Smart People.

When she arrived I told her I was in love with her and wanted to be married to her for all eternity, then I got on my Knee and Proposed. She said yes and we hugged for a while!

Following this we went to Wal-Mart and got her a bling ring and we drove around and had a magical afternoon, letting it all sink in. The next day after church we went for a drive and decided that we would get married June 18th 2010 at the Salt Lake City Temple. I scheduled it this morning for 9:20 a.m.

I am the Luckiest man in the World! I am in love with my best friend and will get to spend all eternity with her! I love you Shani.
