How Jon Proposed..

Wed, 18 Apr 2007 18:04:31 GMT

(I wrote this to submit in 'most romantic proposal' contests)

It was Sunday morning, and my boyfriend Jon was starting a new job the next day. He said he had to meet up with some classmates to work on a group project. So, I decided to use the time as wisely as I could and go to the mall.

Jon, who is a t-shirt and jeans guy, would go to Sears twice a day, but would need to be dragged into a department store to buy some nice dress shirts for work. I guess the same way I spend money on shoes, is the same way he spends money on tools and motorcycle parts. In any event, I went to the mall with a mission to find some dress shirts for his first day at his new job.

My friend Cece had asked me to meet up for dinner, and I thought what a great opportunity. Since Jon had to study, it would be great to fill my day with some girl time! After the mall, I headed over to Cece’s house. I arrived at her house and she was ready to go, jacket and shoes on already. I asked why she was already dressed, and she said she just got home. Little did I know this was all a part of the master plan.

We headed over to a restaurant in downtown New Brunswick, NJ. We walked in and when we got in the door, my closest college friends were there. I asked what they were doing there, and my friend Tippy came up to me with two roses and a card and said “These are for you.” I probably had a very confused look on my face, but as I read the card, it started to make sense. And I felt my heart in my throat. The card said “We’ve been together for two years, and it’s only the beginning.. go to Starbucks.” I walked across the street to Starbucks, expecting to find Jon there. I went in, and looked around, roses and card in my hand. I didn’t see him. But then this small table of people all turned around. They were Jon’s close friends. One of them came up to me with two more roses and another card. At this point tears were streaming down my face as I read the card.

My next stop was another restaurant where we had gone on a date before. I walked in, and another two friends were waiting at the bar with two more roses and another card. The card had lyrics to our song, and instructed me to go to the Hyatt hotel. As I started to walk toward the Hyatt, it started drizzling but I didn’t care. All these thoughts were running through my head. It’s not our anniversary, it’s not Valentine’s day, it’s not my birthday… oh my god, is what I think going to happen, happen?! I got to the Hyatt, and who was waiting there, but my friend from high school who introduced us. I haven’t seen him for so long since he moved away, and while I wanted to ask him a million questions, I couldn’t even get a word out. He just smiled, and gave me two more roses and another card with an inside joke Jon & I have. My friend instructed me to go to the 3^rd floor of the parking garage.

I got to the 3^rd floor, walked out, and there Jon was waiting for me. It was like a dream. The lot was empty, except for his car. And there Jon was, in his suit and tie leaning against his car with more roses. I quickly walked up to him and just hugged him, tearing from all the emotion. He put the roses in his car, and then asked me to dance as our song started playing. As the song came to an end, he held my hands and told me how much I meant to him, and he got down on one knee, and proposed. It seemed so surreal, and like a dream, or a scene out of a movie, but it was perfect. I was really there, and he was really there, and it was the most romantic moment.

As we walked back to the elevator, our friends were there waiting, and yes, he even asked my Dad beforehand. I still got to have my dinner, but dinner was different that night. It was with our best friends and my Fiance.

I am the luckiest girl in the world.

How do girls have time to curl their hair in the morning, do makeup, and coordinate their whole outfit from belt, accessories, to hand bag??

I barely have time to brush my hair.

Maybe that's why I look the way I do. I should try looking nicer.. and stop eating the office birthday cakes.

What goes around comes around!! Good karma pays off!

Spent the weekend at Lake Placid. 3430 ft vertical. Went with some of Jon's buddies and we had such a great time. A little sore, but well worth the much needed getaway.

On Saturday I lost my goggles and I was sad the whole evening thinking I had to spend money to get another one. Then on Sunday, I'm talking to one of the other guys on the trip and he said, Oh, I saw goggles in the window over there yesterday. I go in, go over to lost & found, and a good samaritan turned them in! woo hoo.

So, if you find something that is not yours, turn it in. There may be a depressed person hoping that someone found it and turned it in. You never know! That may be you.

Susan & Peter's Wedding - July 9, 2006

I really need a nice flat screen monitor. This way I can see what my pictures really look like. I edit photos, and then when I look at them from a real PC then they look totally different. Right now I'm doing everything on a laptop. Welllllll you know what?! the pictures look the way I want them to on my computer, eF you if it looks overexposed!
