engaged




So, now that me and jason are officially engaged, I have decided to start our blog so that the world in constantly updated on our life together.

Jason proposed on June 27, 2008 and we are getting married October 11, 2008, though we have been planning for about 2 months now. Here's the story...

So, the reason we had to wait so long to get engaged was because my dad wanted jason to properly ask him in person for my hand in marriage. Unfortunatley he couldn't get here until last week. After that we had to wait for the ring to be finished being made, which was finished last thursday. Jason was adamant about not proposing before his cousins wedding on friday because he didn't want to focus taken off of her and put onto me on her special day. On the way up to Salt Lake (where the wedding took place) Jason told me that he forgot the ring at home and was upset because he wanted to show his mom who was in town for the wedding. I had my suspicions he was lieing, but went along with it anyways. After the reception Jason asked me if I wanted to go to Spoon Me (a frozen yogurt shop of which I helped with some research for). I said okay even though it was almost midnight and I was tired. Throughout the night Jason had been joking with me and getting down on one knee, trying to throw me off. By time we finished Spoon Me, I was really mad at him, thinking he wasn't going to propose. He then took me up to the capital which sits on top of a hill overlooking Salt Lake. He said "lets go on a walk" and I said "why?" and he said "lets just go on one" and I said "no" and he said "please!" and I said "fine". So, we walked up to the capital and went out on this ledge and sat down and talked. The he asked me to stant up and I said "no" and he said "just do it please" and I said "nope". Do you think I could have been anymore difficult. So he got down on one knee and then I shot straight up! He proceeded to propose and I said yes. It may not sound perfect, but it was. I was so happy and it was so beautiful.

But, then I remembered that I promised my mom I would take pictures, so we hiked back down to the car, got my camera and went back up to the capital to reinact the proposal, which are the pictures you see here.

So, this is the start of our life together which is why a blog HAD to be started.
