We're Engaged!

Jesse and I are engaged!! He proposed on May 4, 2010.

Jesse told me a week before hand that I could have my graduation present early but I had to wait until "our day" which is the 4th of every month. SO naturally, I patiently waited (begging every day).

May 3rd rolled around and he mentioned a second present so of course I just wanted to know why a day early would hurt. He told me if I waited until at least midnight I could have them so I willed myself to stay up. For probably every couple of minutes after 11:30pm I kept trying to convince him opening them early would be a great idea. None of it worked so at midnight he finally gave in.

I was convinced I knew what my wrapped gift was and was half right. Then he said, "I have to go get your second gift." He went to the hall closet and brought back some flowers.... calla lilies, my favorite. I was busy admiring the flowers when I noticed he was down on one knee with a ring!

I was surprised and couldn't believe it. Then I understood why it had to be midnight so that it was the 4th.

The 4th was special because it was "our day" but also because May 4 is the anniversary of the car wreck so naturally I hate(d) that day. Jesse said he partly picked it so we could have a good memory on May 4th instead of the bad one I have had for the past 3 years.

What a sweetheart!

SO now we're engaged and loving life! We can't wait to start planning and starting our new life together as husband and wife.

We won't be getting married for a while because we would like to both be out of school first. While it will definitely be hard to wait, it'll give us time to save so we can have the wedding of our dreams.
