tis grand to be engaged...

soo....I'm officially engaged...here's the story:

June 16th, 2007
That Saturday was planned to be a special date b/c we hadn't been on a special one for ourselves in awhile...so i didn't suspect anything when Jay pulled up w/ flowers on the seat and gummies---i'm used to his romantic ways :grins: Our plan was to go flying on a float plane and go out to a random island---at least I thought it was random :heehee:....so Jay lands us in this gorgeous cove and as we get closer to shore I see this little beach area, and there's cliffs to our right and Jay says something about how his friend recommended this spot cuz there's some good jumps off the cliffside. So we get out and pull the float plane up to shore, and Jay tells me to get up on one of the floats so we can tie it down or something...he goes to grab something from the plane and I didn't even notice cuz I was so fascinated by our surroundings. He came back around the front of the plane and stood in the water right below me and his right hand was behind his back and he said, "Can you answer one question for me? If you answer this one question I promise you'll have an amazing day!" in my head i'm like huh and then i see him start to go down on one knee in the water and i'm like 'oh my gosh oh my gosh' in my head and he says 'Will you marry me?" so much is rushing thru my head---like 'how i know Jay knows i'm going to say yes and how this feels like a movie and not real at all and i blurt out 'of course!' and then i'm thinking 'i never say of course that sounds so cheesy and then so I said 'Yes!"

....man the day was absolutely perfect. his parents gave us an old fashioned vintage style picnic basket as a present and a quilt blanket and Jay spread it all out and made me close my eyes and brought out sparkling grape juice (he was flying so he couldn't have alcohol :grins:) and he kept pulling suprises out of the basket the whole day.....chocolate mousse....my fav cheese, grapes, chocolate covered strawberries.....and then we went exploring and climbed up on all these boulders and took pics, and then went swimming out to a rock that was sticking up above the water---sigh ----it was such an adventure this kid is perfect for me...

and then we found a ledge on the cliffside and climbed up to the top and sat and relaxed/kissed for a while :grins: and Jay jumped off the huge cliff and i climbed down to a smaller ledge and he threw me off and we swam back to the plane and lay down on the blanket for a bit w/ the chocolate strawberries and Jay had built a fire so it warmed us right up.....and then we spent the rest of the day there and flew back to the river where we had taken off from....it was soooo surreal....its still surreal....and the ring is beautiful...everytime i see it i'm like oh my goodness i'm engaged :biggest grin ever:!! so that's the story....tis a grand one...and so we're getting married June 28th ,2008....good times yo...:)
