I've decided to make this blog so that Jas and I can share our journey with the ones we love. I realize Jas probably won't take part in this much but that doesn't stop my excitement!
Today has been a day to remember but before I tell you about it i'll brief you on the past few months. Jason and I have been juggling school and our relationship along with everything else in life and it's been hard. But we've remained confident that our time would come and we'd have plenty of time to share once Christmas break came. Well Christmas break is here and i'm working almost everyday. So Jason decided it'd be nice to go on a nice date, with no expectations so he called it. For those of you who don't know me that well.. what he meant by no expectations was that I wouldn't have my hopes up that he'd ask me to marry him. So I didn't, actually I had no expetations at all... I figured he was broke and I wouldn't see the ring we'd talked about, nearly fifty times per day, until summer time. So along with the story... I had no expectations and thought we were out for our first date in I couldn't tell you how long.
So after church this morning we went to California Dreaming and he decided around 3:30 we'd go to Edisto to watch the sunset (we use to do this all the time in high school). So we got to the beach around 4:20'ish and we set up camp. We put our blanket down and tried to light the candles which didn't last against the gail force winds. Then we talked about anything and everything as we drank our sparkling grape juice. After this we decided to take pictures with his handy dandy tripod... we had fun for a while and then we decided we'd try for that picture everyone wants. You know the one with the two people holding hands looking at the sunset, maybe it's just me. Anyways.. he had be stand there so he knew where to point the camera and we took a few more pictures. Then we try again and he tells me to stand there and look towards the ocean, and just like me I turn around and look at him (little did I know he was pulling out the ring, but i didn't see him) so when I turn around Jas gets it all set up and im waiting and waiting and I turn around and no Jason. So I turn to the other side.. No Jason. Turn to the other side and there's Jas on one knee. For those of you who know Jas it's hard to tell when he's being serious... so I totally thought he was kidding until I saw in his other hand the ring that was perfect! The only words in my vocabulary apparently were OH MY GOSH! OH MY GOSH!! (tears flowing down my face and my hands over my face) OH MY GOSH!!! Ended up only hearing him say.. he didn't want to spend his life with anyone else and he knew that God made one person for him and that was me then he proceded to ask me to marry him. Of course I screamed YES! Then he said but wait I have one more thing for you.. he pulled out a taco sauce packet from Taco Bell that said, "will you marry me?" At the time I thought it was cute but didn't put two and two together that when he asked me to date him on October 26, 2005 he asked me in the Taco Bell parking lot after church one night.
This all probably sounds like mumble jumble but everything went so fast that's all I can remember. Then we came home to Jason's house and his mom and dad greeted us and his mom gave me our first engagement present.. a little organizer and notepad to start planning!! And Jason gave me something that made my heart melt, The Promise statue by Willow Tree.
Anyways this is the beginning of our journey. Enjoy reading as I will try to post every so often to fill you in on the little things!
