engagement

ok. so most of you know this story already, but it hasn't gotten old to me yet, so here it goes. :) i'm engaged!!!!!!!!!!!!! Jason & I have been together for 3 years this month and i knew we were going to get married someday, but he completely caught me off guard! I couldn't be any happier! It happened on November 25th. He had gotten a call early that morning and gotten up right away and left. He had told me the night before that he was planning on selling something to a guy on Race Dezert, so I didn't think too much about it. I woke up hours later, wondering where he was, so I gave him a call and wasn't very nice! :/ He was super sweet (even though i was being such a grump!) and told me he'd be home shortly, that he was getting my car washed. So I got out of bed and waited for him in the living room (not knowing that I was ruining his plans). Apparently he had planned to come in and put the ring on my finger while I was still asleep! So, he kind of got caught, pretty much red handed. I saw the box in his hand right when he walked in the door & he stood there like a deer caught in headlights. So, he stopped, said "Baby, you know I'm not good at keeping secrets..." and got down on one knee right in the middle of our living room! I was completely caught offguard & in utter disbelief. I, of course, said yes & immediately started calling everyone in my phone book!! hahah. I was seriously on cloud 9 the rest of the day. I have never been so happy in my entire life. Seriously, it's the BEST compliment in the woooorld to hear someone tell you they want to spend the rest of their life with you. <3>

here's my beautiful ring!

so later on that week , me & jay threw an engagement party to celebrate! It was so much fun!! Amy made me the cutest ring boxes made out of rice krispy treats! All the pictures are up on my myspace & facebook, so make sure you check them out! The entire night was full of laughs and good friends, and lots of drinks! Special thanks to Sarah for being the designated bartender that night! Not only did you make the yummiest chocolate cake shots, you saved my life with In N Out! What would I ever do without you??

And lastly, but definitely not least I picked my sister, Amy, to be my maid of honor. I'm so excited to share this experience with you! And to chew you out when you're not doing things right!! Watch out! Here Bridezilla comes!! Jason & I decided to make the engagement over a year so that we don't have to stress too, too much or feel too overwhelmed with planning and paying, etc. So for right now, the date's May 21st, 2011! Mark you non-existant calendars! hahah. Also, Sarah, my other big sister has done me the honor of being my Matron of Honor. :) I'm excited to have her help because she just had her wedding and she knows so much more than I do about these things! Haha. And Mrs. Haley Jackson is my official wedding planner. I'm seriously so stoked about this. I have complete confidence in her to make my wedding day my fairytale wedding. Everyone's already been so SUPPORTIVE and SO much help! I'm so excited!!
