Engaged!

So I completely meant to come back and finish my post about Christmas, but life has been so crazy. Here's how it happened. On Christmas Eve, we were at Jason's parents house. We had just finished opening presents and had to head back to Frederick to meet my parents to go to church. At one point Jason had said "I didn't make it to Best Buy to get you the big present I had planned on getting you this year." Of course I said it was okay and thought to myself "was he going to get me a Dyson?". So as we are walking out to the car, I'm thinking how would we transport a Dyson home in the Rabbit anyway? It's better he didn't get it for me on MD and we can just go buy it when we get back to AL!

As we're putting all the presents in the car (I'm still thinking about my Dyson, should I get the one with the ball or the one designed for animals?) Jason says "I did have one other little thing for you." I say "Well, you want to wait and I can open it tomorrow with my family?" He said "I'll just give it to you now" and got down on one knee and pulled the box from his jacket pocket. I honestly don't remember what he said after that, there was a will you marry me in there. But I was in complete shock. Of course I said YES and there was hugging and crying involved.

We went back in to tell his parents and then drove to Middletown, with me in stunned silence, to meet my family and tell them the news! At this point it was almost 11pm so we waiting until Christmas day to start calling and letting family know. But we are both so excited!!
