The Engagement (December 23, 2009)


Since Jason moved to Colorado Springs after Thanksgiving of 2009, we pretty much knew that a wedding and a move by me was inevitable as well. However, when that would happen was still a mystery until a few days before Christmas, 2009. Jason was planning a flight to Minneapolis on Christmas Eve, in the midst of a snowstorm that had been forecast for the area. Thankfully, he was able to change his flight to Wednesday, December 23rd so he arrived before the bad weather. When we got back to my house, we decided to have some coffee and cookies to celebrate being together again for the first time in 4 weeks! While I was in the kitchen, I heard Jason yell to me, "Baby, what's wrong with your DVD player?" I'm thinking to myself...DVD player? Why does he want to watch a movie right now? We JUST got here! So I went into the Living Room to check out what he was doing and found him on one knee! When he saw me, he told me he couldn't wait anymore to ask me to be his wife (we had literally been home less than an hour!). It was classic Jason...and exactly the kind of proposal I wanted!
