Gift Ideas

We are registered at Bed, Bath, & Beyond. If you search for "Julie DeLoura" in the registry search, it's the only one you'll find.

If you are searching for other gift Ideas not on the registry, here are a few items we would really enjoy, but weren't available at Bed, Bath, & Beyond. :)

Rosetta Stone for Italian
Netflix Account
Tool Set
TV Shows on DVD (House, Gilmore Girls, Glee)



For those attending the Open House in San Diego, gift cards would be GREATLY appreciated. We will be living in Utah and won't have the means to transport many gifts. Gift cards to Walmart, Target, Bed, Bath, & Beyond, and department stores like Sears would be best.

Our Story

So, anticipating the questions concerning the engagement, we are writing this note so you all will know how it went down.
Michael Alan Thompson and Julie Christine DeLoura met at College Terrace Apartments back in September of 2009. We started dating towards the end of November. Seven Months later, He proposed.
Any questions?

Hahaha. I thought so.
Here's how it went down:
We had been talking about getting married for a week or so, going ring shopping and plotting and planning and all that before anything was even "official".
I had an inkling something was up on Friday night when his sister sent me a text asking to go "play" on Saturday. I said I wasn't sure what my plans were yet and what did she want to "play"? Her response: Oh, you know, just play.
Fishy.
Saturday came and we (me, Laura, and Leanna) went to go get supplies for an art project for the family reunion. Then we went to In-N-Out. Mmmm. When we got back into the car, Leanna, from the back seat, handed me a purple envelope with coordinates on it. Such a Michael move. :D
The coordinates led us around Provo/Orem to significant locations of our dating and courtship and friendship. At each stop, I was given a new envelope with new coordinates. The last clue led us to the LDS Mount Timpanogos Temple, where Michael was waiting with a bouquet of red roses. His sisters let us have some alone time, but stood there taking pictures the whole time.
Michael told me some sweet nothings and then got down on one knee and asked me to marry him. I told him, "yes, yes, yes, yes, yes!".
There was lots of hugging and rejoicing.
Then we called family and went to dinner with them.
Yay!
We are getting hitched on September 4, 2010 in the LDS Mount Timpanogos Temple, with a reception to follow shortly after at Neilson's Grove Park in Orem, UT. There will also be an Open House in Santee, CA on September 6.
Thanks for all your congratulations! We are happy. :D

We are engaged!!!!!!

Yup, It's been done.

Michael proposed on June 19, 2010 at the Mount Timpanogos Temple, and Julie said Yes!

So far, plans are to be wed on September 4, 2010 in the Mount Timpanogos Temple with a reception to follow at Nielsen's Grove Park in Orem, UT. Don't worry, our San Diego friends. We will have an Open House at the DeLoura residence on September 6. :)

Yay~!
