Congrats Whitney and Dion.....

For those of you who don't know... My little sister Whitney has been in Australia for the last month spending time with her boyfriend Dion. Whit and Dion met each other about 4 years ago on a website called flixster, which is a site you can go on to rate your favorite movies. Dion somehow found her on there and noticed that she was from Utah and figured she must be LDS. They started talking and Dion fell in love with Whitney. She on the other hand only wanted to be friends because he was from Australia and she was convinced that there was no way they would ever meet. In December of 2007 his mission call finally came and he was called to the Arizona Phoenix mission and would report to the MTC in Provo, Utah. It was arranged that he would come out a few days early and spend some time with us. While he was in Utah Whitney decided that she really did like him. He left on his mission in March of 2008. My family wrote to him during his whole mission. During the first half of his mission Whitney wasn't really waiting for him and went on a few dates but really wasn't interested in dating. About half way through his mission they decided that they wanted to be together and so she ended up spending the last half waiting for him and walking around the house sighing about how much she missed him. She also decided to save her money up to take a trip to Sydney once he was home. He came home in March of 2010 and she went out to see him on May 3. She has been having so much fun while being out there! To read more about her trip see her blog. So Dion ended up taking her to the beach tonight (Friday May 28th here and Saturday May 29th there) and proposing to her. I am so excited for the two of them! However Whitney leaves to come home soon and I feel really bad about having them just get engaged to have her leave and them be apart. Hopefully things get worked out really fast for them to be together and get married soon. Welcome to the family Dion! I love you both and am really excited for you guys!
