I kept going to the hospital and to the doctor because I kept thinking I had pneumonia and
a few other things.
So my mom was in town and I said let's just head over real quick because I was like it's
super a lot of pain like my right side so I was like well maybe it's appendix it's gonna
burst and so me and my mom headed over to the doctor and we they finally decided to
do a chest x-ray and then they came out and they were like you have lymphoma and me and
my mom were like what what is that like we're like you have cancer.
When I found out I was I was a mess inside but on the outside I was pretty calm about
it just for her.
Well my whole family like was crushed about the whole situation and sad and like couldn't
keep their emotions in he was just my rock never cried always was there for me fixed
me dinners held my hair back when I had hair to throw up and like gave me absolutely every
second of care that I could have ever imagined and it was like the perfect way to uplift
the spirit so the perfect time.
We met at Utah State she came over with one of her friends one of her friends was hanging
out with some of my friends so she just wandered over one day.
So I just kept going over there and just went from there.
We met off sorts of plans the first time that we saw each other play in her murals go out.
Sometimes I land under the moon I think God I'm breathing and I pray don't take me soon
because I am here for reasons.
Sometimes in my tears I drown but I never let it get me down so my negativity surrounds
me.
I know someday it'll all turn around because all my life I've been waiting for I've been
praying for all the people to say that we don't want to fight no more there'll be no
more and our children will pay one day, one day, one day.
John's proposal was phenomenal and straight out of a movie.
The proposal was a long time coming I bought the ring probably six months prior to proposing
I was just waiting for the best opportunity and I was a little scared to ask her mom.
We just found out that I had stage 3 lymphoma cancer.
When she was diagnosed I just I knew right then that this was this was my time to do
it.
I had to go to emergency surgery because there was so much fluid around my lungs and my heart
from where the tumor was and then Shana told all the winners to tell the people that visiting
hours were over so everybody left and he even left and then he came back.
One of her friends came down from Idaho and to see her and she shaved my head, got dressed
up.
He took off his hat and shaved his head for me and I just like lost it because he was
going to be bald with me.
We had a lot of stress going on at the time so all things considered it wasn't a stressful
moment at all.
It was a very relaxed happy moment for both of us.
He had flowers and I thought he was just going to say get well like everybody else
had and so I was like hugging him and crying it to him and he was like I have one more
surprise for you and he got down on one knee and proposed to me.
Said some sweet nothings and dropped down on a knee and proposed.
Outside of the room the nurses like knew they were all watching from my monitor outside
because they could see my heart rate and as soon as he proposed it like skyrocketed and
the nurses had to come in and put oxygen back on me.
John, I love you so much.
I'm so excited to spend the rest of my life with you.
We've been together for almost four years now and I couldn't have asked for a better
partner to spend the rest of my life with.
You have been with me through everything, the ups and the downs and I know that's just
going to prepare us for the future and nothing can set us back now and I just want to tell
you that I appreciate that everything that you've done for me, you came into my life
at the most perfectest time and I love you so much for that.
Paige, I love you.
I can't wait to spend the rest of my life with you.
I can't wait to have kids.
I can't wait to do the whole thing, so let's do it.
This might be weird.
I shouldn't say that.
I've got a great ass.
Did she say that?
I bet she did.
My favorite physical attribute about Shawn would have to be his arms.
This might be a little bit weird, but he has like super veiny arms and like when he gets
like super tense or anything, they're nice and beautiful.
My favorite physical attribute about Paige is her eyes.
She has great eyes.
You've seen them.
You've seen them, you've seen them, you've seen them.
