After over a month hiatus from blogging I do have something blogworthy to tell you. What you ask? Oh...the best day of my life perhaps. So here's how it went because I've repeated it a million times...I think from now on I might just refer people here when they ask.
Jared and I went to Laguna Beach yesterday. We had a gift certificate to one of my favorite restaurants, Cest la Vie, that some of my small group girls gave me for my birthday. So we ate there on the patio that overlooks the beach and ate some delicious food. After lunch we walked around Laguna Beach, went to Tippecanoe's, shopped around, got some Starbucks, walked on the beach etc...then in the afternoon we walked up the hill and got to a little grassy area that overlooked the ocean. In the middle of the grassy area was a picnic basket. There were a few other people around so I didn't think much of it. Then when Jared went and stood right by it, I thought we were being rude, standing next some one else's picnic basket. But then I remembered a conversation that Jared and I had over a year ago...on the night of our first kiss. We were talking about dates and picnics and Jared said that a picnic date is serious business and shouldn't be taken lightly...he said, "If I ever take you on a picnic, you'll know I'm proposing to you." So cute right? She here we are sitting on a cliff overlooking the ocean on a day that should have been rainy hours ago. We set out the blanket and then he tells me that I have grass on my back. So I stand up for him to wipe it off...and he hands me a piece of paper and tells me to read it. Now, girls...let me just say, it was the best piece of paper I've ever read! I'm not gonna be too mushy, but honestly it was everything you've ever hoped your future husband to say to you...ok now I'm pushing the cheese border. So after I finish reading it (the last line was, "Will you marry me?") Jared is down on one knee and asks me to marry him. WOW! I'm not 100% sure...but I think I said yes. Then we kissed and hugged and then I hear someone yelling at us. It's Doug Elliot of course...then Taylor, Greg, Brian, and Brian also come out of hiding, all with cameras. So fun...and SOOOO embarrassing.
Then Jared took me to another one of my favorite restaurants, Tuna Town, for some delicious Sushi...which is where we went on our first actual date (cuz we don't really want to count Albertaco's as our first date...we're classy like that). After dinner...more surprises...we went to his parents house where I was greeted by seriously every person I've ever met in my entire life. You couldn't even walk through the house at all!
So much fun...and so overwhelming...which is why I've been in PJs all day watching Veronica Mars, and letting my cheeks relax from smiling so much yesterday.
So there you go. Thanks so much to everyone who was there last night! It meant so much to me to have everyone there. It's nice to know that so many people care about us and support us and are praying for us! And also...thanks for keeping your mouths shut! I love being surprised...so thanks for letting me be. Oh and thank you for not making fun of my chubby fingers. :)
