THE STORY OF OUR ENGAGEMENT
We got engaged April 3rd, 2009. I had had an awful week of being extremely sick and extremely overwhelmed with school work. I had called Jon that night around 5:30pm from work to see if we could just relax that night and stay in. He told me that he wanted to take me out and that I needed to hurry home if I wanted to have time to change. I was kind of annoyed at first because all I wanted to do was stay home :-). At 6:00pm when I got off of work, I called Jon and he told me that I needed to call him and tell him when I was almost home because he had a surprise for me. Nothing big, he assured me, just something to make me feel better after a long week. As I pulled up to our apartment and got inside, there was a note taped to our mailbox telling me to follow the notes and that he hoped that this would cheer me up. Taped all the way up the railing of the 3 flights of stairs up to our apartments were more notes, each listing a reason why he loved me. When I finally got to our aparment door, I opened it to find Jon kneeling inside the door. He was shaking like crazy and immediately blurted out "Will you marry me?" Of course I said yes and we spent the rest of the evening calling family and friends and driving around to show off my new ring!
