When I first moved up to Rexburg I started working with a married couple named Tyler and Kiersten Faulkenberry. I didn't know a lot of people at the time so they decided to invite me to go to the fair with them. While we were at the fair they started telling me about this guy that was moving up to Rexburg soon, and that we should totally go on date. Little did I know that they were talking about my future husband, Brandon Neilson. Once Brandon arrived in Rexburg the two of them went fishing and just hung out for the day. On their way home Tyler took him to meet me while I was at work. Brandon played bingo with me and the residents and I couldn't stop staring at him. After meeting him quickly, they gave Brandon my name and he messaged me on instagram asking for my number, he asked me to go on a date with him the next day. He took me to Costa Vida (my favorite) and we walked the temple grounds and got to know each other. That night I knew he was something special. He asked me to be his girlfriend 3 days later! Our 1 year anniversary will be on September 18, 2019! Engagment- Back in October of 2018 Brandon took me on a hike in Big Cottonwood Canyon which is in UT. We got to the top of the mountain 8 miles later and there was a geocash with a notepad in it. Brandon "wrote our names" in it and we hiked back down the mountain .... fast forward to July 4, 2019 Brandon and I did the same hike and got to the top of the mountain and he was looking through the same notepad and told me that he couldn't find our names so he had me look through it to find that he had written months ago, "Thanks for being the love of my life Allison! Can't wait to Marry you!" I turned around and he was on one knee with a ring in his hand!! We will be married in the Provo City Temple on December 20, 2019!!!
