The Story


let me tell you about a little something called, Getting Engaged.
it's fun:)

kade asked if i wanted to go on a walk when he got off work, and naturally i agreed. going on walks with him is one of my most favorite activities. when he finally came home, we started off up the hill towards campus, and walked, and talked. in my head, i was a mess.

for the past week kade had been setting me up, and i didnt even notice. he had sent me on a rollercoaster of "maybe it'll happen soon" and "freak, it's not going to happen until the end of the month, at least". it was awful. i just happened to be and the lowest point at the trough of said rollercoaster all day long.

so as we were walking up, i was just day dreaming about what might happen if tonight were to be the night. but, everywhere i looked around there were groups of kids from the YSA having fun little late night activities, or whatever they were doing. but they were everywhere. my hopes were dashed. yet i still continued to day dream. then, we walked down old main, and through the tunnel leading to the other side of fourth north where there was a parking lot that alaina and i had been to and decided we loved, and would someday have our boys take us there. at least it was something i'd always wanted to do with kade, if tonight wasn't going to be the night, at least i could share in this special parking-lot-overlooking-the-valley moment with him.
we looked out over logan and its glittering lights, barely able to see the logan temple through a poorly placed clump of trees. it was nice, though.
we talked for awhile, we kissed, we hugged, we talked some more. then he said to me,

"jess, i've got a question i've been meaning to ask you.."

an excited little voice inside my head said "oh! jess! this is it!"
but abruptly cutting it off was another more meloncholy voice telling me that it was probably just a favor.
then he got down on one knee.
excited little voice started squealing
meloncholy voice reminded me of the night before, when kade had knelt down on one knee just to ask "jess, will you... help me up?" ugh
so, honestly, it came as a shock when the words finally came tumbling out of his mouth.

jessica, will you be my eternal companion?

took me awhile to register that this time, it was for real, but i said yes, and i kissed him good and hard.

i love that guy.
