here's a love story

Yesterday was the day of love. And it was the best day of love I've ever had. 
Thanks to My Feller :)
It began at 8:30 in the morning with a knock on the door I knew belonged to him.
French toast and one white balloon.
 I came home from class to a big green box by my front door...
Jon and I were planning on going on a much needed run. It seemed as good as a vacation.
Before we went he gave me a note saying "2, a run with just me and you"...and two more balloons.
Later on, that same knock...
Three more balloons and we were off to the area I lived in my Freshman year and we looked at the photo album I made for him of us almost 3 years ago. It was really cute. 
At the end of the album I found this...
  
We love talking in the car. So we went back, and he pulled out 4 more balloons from his trunk. 
We got in the car again. He asked me to get a cd out of the glove box, and to my surprise (as he's so proud of himself, haha) found this...
We were off to Beehive Grill, my favorite restaurant in Logania. We were met with 5 more balloons there. Besides the 30+ minute wait and the fact that our appetizer came AFTER our meal (I know, right?) and the waitress didn't come around enough to see that we needed water refills about 20 minutes before she noticed, it was really tasty. I still love that place, their burgers are divine.
Ok, so we were off to his house for a dance party with his Sis, Bro, and their cute girls.
It was so much fun. The girls gave the living room a heart attack, and there was even a disco ball. It was a party for sure! Then...
Isn't he the sweetest?
We went to the temple and sat on the benches across the street. He played me a song that he wrote while on his mission...and WOW, he is amazing. It was really touching. Then he said lots of special things (that I won't include here) and got on one knee, grabbed a little box out of his guitar case, and...you know what happened :). 
We're engaged! 
28 balloons later, I said yes- just in case any of you were wondering.
I can't imagine anyone else I'd rather spend the rest of eternity with. I love him. He is my Feller, my best friend, my high school sweetheart, my missionary, my returned missionary, my other half, my future, my Captain :)
I love you Jon!I can't wait to see what the future holds for us.

It's been ... what? 4-5 years that we've had to "listen" to you saying "I'm going to marry Fel" .. I was afraid "if" it didn't happen (as some romatic love stories end when the mission begins) you'd fall apart. You are SO deserving of finding TRUE LOVE with your first LOVE! Congratulations to both of you! I know Jon knows what a gem you are ... I hope you know also!
NOW LET'S PLAN A WEDDING!!!!!!! :)

That is so dang cute! You two are so perfect for each other! I am so happy that you and Jon are getting hitched. I can tell that you are so in love, and have been for years and years! I love your wedding ring. It is elegant and very shiny~. It sounds like your wedding date is right when I'm going to be 39 weeks prego, so unfortunately me and my big (or should I say small) belly won't be able to come :(
