He put a ring on it!

Details: (mostly so I dont forget!!)

The beginning: So.... me and Jordan got set up on a blind date (Thanks Maci) we went to Costa Vida for dinner, goofy golfing, and ate Ocean Blue by a fountain. Such a great guy. While we were at that fountain on our first date I threw a penny in the fountain and made a wish.."If things can work out with this guy then let them please because I already can tell he is amazing".. that was maybe 6-7 hours into our first date and I already felt like I knew him my whole life. There was defiantly a connection.

Popping the question: Soo... day after V-day we went out for dinner (Feb 15th) to Costa Vida which was delish. Then we went and sat by the fountain kinda just reminiscing about our first date there. Mind you I thought he was being all cute cause it was our valentines day celebration, but had no clue what was in store! So we were sitting by the fountain and he was kinda jittery when a car would go by and stuff but I was just like whatever. And then he said, well you wrote me a really nice letter yesterday so I wanted to write down some of the things I like about you.. and he pulled out some note cards. And I was like aww how cute cause thats not his typical self and I just thought he was trying to be all romantic since we were out for valentines day. So he handed them to me and I started going thru each one, and then the last one said, so... Will you marry me? I was in shock. I think I quit breathing. I held my hands over my mouth as I looked up to him holding a ring in his hand and my heart was racing trying to figure out if I was dreaming or if it was real. I was just like are you serious right now?!?! and so he got down on one knee and said "so Heidi will you marry me already because I love you more then anything and I want to spend my life with you" I was freaking out and replied with an "OF COURSE!" I put my hand out and he slipped that beautiful ring onto my finger. We hugged, and kissed and hugged and he spun me around and I cried a lil and all that jazz. I was SO surprised!!

At dinner I was thinking of how he would propose when he would do it, but was thinking it would be about a month off because he had told me 3 nights before he was still saving up for a ring (hes good at secrets) ((I was thinking, maybe he'll have us do what we did on our first date and do it like we met... Hello thats what we were doing and I didn't even connect it!! ..well I did but I just thought it was for valentines day)) and when we were at the fountain I was like we need to make a bucket list when we are engaged of all the things we want to do together and put come play in this fountain... not knowing I was going to be engaged in about 10 more minutes!! It was perfect. My ring is gorgeous and I was so proud he picked it out all by himself. Its so me and I love it! I am so excited to spend forever with my best friend. He makes me the happiest person on earth. I love every second I get to be with him.He has a great family and he is the most amazing person I know. I am so glad I met him!! I love you Jordan I cant wait to marry you!!!!!

This is the fountain we went to on our first date, the one he proposed at, and the one in the summer we will be coming to to play in ;)When I read this my heart stopped. I couldnt believe it really was happening! :) :) :)
This song reminds me of Jordan. Its called happy by Nevershoutnever. ;) Enjoy


You make me happy whether you know it or not
We should be happy, that's what I said from the start
I am so happy knowing you are the one
That I want for the rest of my days, for the rest of my days
Through all of my days

You're looking so cool, you're looking so fly
I can't deny that when I'm staring you down right dead in the eye
I wanna try to be the person you want
The person you need, it's hard to conceive
That somebody like you could be with someone like me

I'm happy knowing that you are mine
The grass is greener on the other side
The more I think, the more I wish
That we could lay here for hours and just reminisce
Uh, oh, oh

You're looking so fresh, it's catching my eye
Why oh, why did I not see this before
The girl I adore was right in front of me
And now I'll take a step back and look in your eye
And ask why it took so long to see we're meant to be

I'm happy knowing that you are mine
The grass is greener on the other side
The more I think, the more I wish
That we could lay here for hours and just reminisce

On the good, the bad, the ugly
The smiles, the laughs, the funny
Or all the things we put each other through
It's for you, for you, for you

You make me happy whether you know it or not
We should be happy, that's what I said from the start
I am so happy knowing you are the one
That I want for the rest of my days, for the rest of my days

I'm happy knowing that you are mine
The grass is greener on the other side
The more I think, the more I wish
That we could lay here for hours and just reminisce
Uh, oh, oh
