Disney Land and…… I’m Engaged!!
By Leighton | May 10, 2008
In California, we stayed with my Aunt Joleen and her family. My uncle Randy was out of town. We didn’t spend much time there, except for sleeping. We were very tired our whole trip because each day we were running all over the place and having so much fun. On Thursday, we went to Disney Land. We met up with Kurt, one of my room mates from Hawaii, who now works at Disney Land, and he was able to get us in for cheaper than normal. So we got two Park Hopper tickets (meaning we could go to both parks, Disney Land and California Adventure Park). We went on some rides with Kurt in the morning and early afternoon. We went to Pirates of the Caribbean first, then Big Thunder Mountain, then Space Mountain, then Snow White, then Indiana Jones. We were having a riot of a time. It was soooooooooo much fun. Sharon and I were laughing out loud all day. We then went to check out California Adventure Park. First, we went to the Tower of Terror. It was a lot of fun going up and down so fast. Then we ate some lunch which aunt Joleen had packed for us. Then we went on Soarin over California, which was very breath taking. Then we split off from Kurt and went on our own for the rest of the time. We went to Grizzly Peak, which was awesome! I got pretty wet from that. Then we went to the cars ride, which was a lot of fun as well Sharon was screaming the whole ride haha. Then we went to see the Aladdin Musical Show in the theater. It was really good. The genie was really funny. We took lots of videos of that. Then we ran to the rollercoaster with our fast passes. We went straight to the front of the line and got on. It was a ton of fun. Sharon was scared haha. Then we went to see the Parade for Pixar. It had characters from Toy Story, Bugs Life, Monsters Inc, Nemo, the Incredibles, and more. It was really cool. Then we went back over to Disney Land and went to Splash Mountain as our last ride. We waited in line for a while, but it was worth it. It was a lot of fun and I got soaking wet. After that, we went to see the Disney Land parade. It was so cool seeing all of the characters and we had a lot of fun.
After the parade, I took Sharon to the Wishing Well by Cinderella’s Castle. I gave her a coin and we each made a wish or two. Then I gathered up my courage and confessed my love to Sharon, knelt down and asked her if she would marry me! I was sooooo nervous! She was in shock I think but she said YES really quickly. At least she didn’t have to think too hard about it, eh? I was in love with her for such a long time already. I want to spend the rest of my life with this amazing, beautiful girl. It was my last day with Sharon before she went back to her home in Malaysia. I wished that she would say yes when I threw in my coin, and she wished that she could spend the rest of her life with me. It looks like Disney Land really is the place where dreams come true! I was so happy that I cried, and Sharon was crying too. We hugged and kissed and asked someone to take our picture by the well. It was the happiest day of my life. I can’t wait to marry this special special girl.
On the way home, I called my mom and we tried to call Sharon’s mom, but no answer. We were both so happy! When we got back to Aunt Joleen’s, we were ready to sleep, haha. Sharon told some of her friends on MSN. I told my Aunt and Ryan.
The next day, I took Sharon to the LAX Airport. It was soooooo sad to see her go! I miss her soo much. I am going to call her every day. She flew to Hawaii. Brandon and Vicky met her at the airport and took her to Laie so she could sleep for the night. Then in the morning, Brandon took her back and put her on the plane to Malaysia. I am so glad for friends like Brandon. I drove home to Utah by myself for 6.5 hours. It was a long and lonely drive.
Anyways, here are some pics from Disney Land:
