Fifteen years ago today, on April 1, I proposed to my then-girlfriend, Tanya Hague, in a Family History Center on the campus of Ricks College in Rexburg, Idaho. She accepted my proposal. Today we wonder – was the joke on her that I proposed, or on me that she said yes? It's been a fun ride and we've made a little family history of our own along the way.
This is me putting the ring on her finger. Notice two other things – her beautiful yellow student employee vest and the microfilm reader in the background! I thought we would have a life sleuthing cemeteries together. She was just there for the student employment.
She didn't stick around for long that morning. Shortly after she said, "well, I gotta get to class before I'm late." But she has stuck around for 15 more years – and it keeps getting better.
Happy April Fool's Day everyone!
What a great story! Thanks for sharing it.
My nephew’s birthday is April 1. We plan to have plenty of fun with that when he is old enough!
