Again, it has been too long since I updated this. Oh well not much has really happened. I have officially been home two transfers today....or in normal people terms: 3 months. In some aspects it feels like I just got home, but for the most part it just feels like I have been home forever.
And now that I have started this post I really can't think of what has happened. There is only one instance that I really want to talk about but that will come shortly. I still have been working and saving and making short trips down to Utah to see the boyfriend. They have all been pretty fun. We have gone up to his secret spot in the mountains which is beautiful, and we go to my not so secret spot which is my comfort zone. I don't know why I am so attached to that place but I am. Anyway I also got to go down and meet one of my companion's family which was so fun! They are hilarious and so much like her, it really made me miss her and excited for her to come home! But shh don't tell her that ;).
Ok now for the story everyone wants to here. I have told people the really run down version but here is the full story:
First background information that needs to be known for this to be understood
1) I met Jamie my sophomore year of high school when he was a senior.
2) I didn't buy a yearbook that year because I didn't have any friends and didn't want to remember that year.
3) I had a crush on him that whole year but thought he was a big scary Senior so I just had fun flirting with him.
4) Jamie and I started dating July 8th 2013.
5) Jamie works at a reception home and works dinners frequently.
Ok, back to the story
July 6, 2015 Jamie has just gone home after staying up here a few days to spend the 4th of July with us (or really with me). Jamie has not forgotten it is our 2 year anniversary in two days and has been wanting to do something cool over face time (or so I thought). I jokingly told him to just come back up so that we can spend our 2 year together. But knowing that was impossible I had no hopes for that.
July 8, 2015 There are a couple of girls at work who are out of town so I have to cover for them. I stayed later at work and around 4 my mom shows up ready to get me. While I work in the back my boss tells her that he was going to need me for another 30 minutes or so. After a minute he comes back and says "You know what skeeter? You can head out now. You are good to go." So I finish up what I am doing and head out. I send Jamie my normal "I'm off now!" text and don't think about it anymore. He responds back with "how long until you are home?"I tell him about 10 minutes and he tells me that he ended up having a dinner that night and he has a few minutes to face time before he goes in. I go change and after coming upstairs, there is a knock at the door. My mom tells me to answer it which is strange, so I get it and its Jamie! :) He surprised me and told me that the dinner plans included me and that I needed to change into something nice.
We then go to a place called The Cellar. We had a yummy dinner there and after he tells me that he is going to take me somewhere. We end up at the falls in front of the Idaho Falls LDS temple. He lays out a blanket and pulls out his senior yearbook. We laugh about how dumb my entry is in his book and I blush a little, embarrassed about how forward I am.
This is where it gets good:
Jamie pulls out a smaller book that looks similar to his. He tells me that because I didn't have one of my own he made me one. We read through it together and it is the cutest thing ever! He put little kid pictures of us, high school pictures of the year we met, and pictures of us before and after the mission. At the back of the book he wrote a little note like one that you would find in a yearbook only cuter. He did however manage to add "HAGS" into it. After signing his name he wrote "P.S. Will you marry me?" By the time I was done reading the message he was on his knee with a sparkly ring! Of course I said yes. I wouldn't have it any other way.
I love this guy so much and I am so excited to spend eternity with him. I couldn't have found anyone better. Seriously. The best part is that it all feels right. There are moments when I will be thinking about him and I will get a confirmation that this is the right thing to be doing. I don't worry because I know. Life is going to be full of ups and downs but knowing that I made the right choice with my husband will make things that much smoother.
