It's crazy to think that just a year ago Jake got down on one knee in my bedroom and asked me to be his wife. Time has flown faster in this year than ever to come before it. As i think back to that day even though i knew it was coming i still could have about jumped out of my skin in anticipation...
Here's what happened... Jake & My dad set up a time to meet for coffee or lunch whichever and to say i was anxious is an understatement haha, they were probably only gone a few hours but it seemed like eternity. FINALLY My dad comes home but being the stinker he is gave ZERO indication of how things went.. only a sly smile would hold me over until hours later when Jake would arrive.
Oh! but then he didn't give anything away either! Those two i swear.. i kept asking and nudging trying to get S O M E T H I N G from anyone but no. nothing. Finally i gave up we finished our movie, once everyone had gone to bed i went into my bathroom to play with my new make up i had just got. Ja ke made a comment about needing to run out to his truck and i shrugged it off and continued on with what i was doing.
He came back, just kinda leaned against the door jam and started showering me with sweet words. (more so than usual haha) Before i know it he is leading me into my room and there at the foot of my bed he get down on one knee and asks me "if i'd make him the happiest man in the world & join him on the journey of life" I was so happy i started crying and even forgot to say YES right away.. a few minutes later i realized i had forgotten and blurted it out. We hugged, kissed, &took some some photos.. before we could really soak it all in Jake had to head home (He was getting up early to get ready for the mission trip he & his family were going on) ... He told me before he left that he couldn't wait to come home to me.. his FIANCE. I melted right there at my front door. It was a simple & magical night.
