AHHHH! So much in such little time my brain is exploding lol. I'll start from my last post, and apologize I haven't posted anything in a month. I was on the money with my last post and Jared proposed in front of his entire platoon. Just like our story of how we met I honestly don't think I will ever get tired of telling this story either. I drove my 9 freaking hours to Ft. Leonardwood from where we live in Texas and got there Friday afternoon. I got to see him for like 4 hours thankfully before I had to drop him back off. We talked that night on the phone and he kept telling me tomorrow is going to be such a great day... I'm like why WHY tell me WHY lol. I went to go pick him up and his cover story was that his friend, Van Rossum, was going to meet me by this huge tree near my car... in my head I'm thinking, ok, Van Rossum knows what my car looks like, so why is Jared making me stand by this tree. We actually got into a fight about it haha cuz I didn't want to go stand alone by this tree and he was yelling at me from across the street pointing at this dang tree lol. Finally I was like whatever! and went to stand by the tree. All of a sudden his entire platoon (which were in formation) started to march up the street. So now I'm pissed, I'm like, wth they aren't even releasing him so why am I standing here, They march up the street and start to cross the street, I'm like wahhh? Then they head towards me, at this point I'm like RUNNNNNN! lol so sweet, yet embarrassing. He marched the whole platoon right in front of me, they all took a knee around us why he gave his speech, which he wrote down ahah, so cute cuz now I have it framed :) He got on one knee and asked me to spend the rest of my life with him. I couldn't help but giggle while I said yes and everybody screamed HOOAH! Almost everyone in the platoon recorded it and snapped pictures. Youtube Ft. Leonardwood proposal, it's there haha. I'll try to post it on here.
And if the proposal wasn't cute enough, he some how pulled off the ring. I didn't marry Jared for his money, so I was expecting something small and simple, which was fine with me. But he had something up his sleeve, I know today some of the ways he pulled it off but he worked hard to get me what I wanted. He wanted me to have something nice, and I stare at it everyday, it's amazing!
His mom, my dad, and sister were all in on it lol. I knew my dad, but my sister! All the way in Colorado, don't know how she kept the lid on that one. I couldn't wait to get home and show it off. I was a little worried how everyone would perceive it just because of everything we have gone through and all the ups and downs my family and his have see us endure but lucky enough for us, things have improved so much over the years, I was welcomed with open ours and happiness from both of our families. Not being from a close tight nit family, it meant a lot to finally feel accepted. I love my in laws and his family so much, there's no doubt in my mind, that's my family to now. They are seriously the best, and we have come a long way lol.
Now Jared's home and we got "officially" married at the JOP just for military purposes, we still plan to have our wedding. We just had our engagement party and send off party for Jared yesterday because he leaves the 1 of November for Alaska. Unfortunately I will have to wait to get command sponsored before I can head up there to. Hopefully it won't be to long. It's so great to see how many supporters we have and how many people came to see us off and congratulate us, we seriously have the best family and friends anyone could ask for!
