The Proposal...

So my family and I took a trip to Pigeon Forge, TN this past week, which Jonathan and I both LOVE it there! We had a great first couple of days, we took Skylar on her first helicopter ride, we all went horse back riding, played mini golf, and I had told my family that I would like to stay in on Wednesday night because the CMA's were coming on, which I love. So, Mom, Dad, Jonathan, Skylar and I are all in our pj's just being lazy by the fire and watching the Country Music Awards. Skylar went upstairs to watch her favorite movie for like the 7th time that day, Lilo and Stitch. About half way through the show, Jonathan goes upstairs to "go to the bathroom" is what he said. A few minutes later, Skylar walks down the stairs and has both of her hands behind her back with a sweet/up to something smirk on her face. She hands me this little box and runs back upstairs. Jonathan, who is still upstairs looking over the loft into the living room staring down at me, has the biggest smile on his face. I opened this little box and saw the most beautiful sparkling diamond I had ever seen. I looked up at him and said, "REALLY?" He smiled then came downstairs and sat beside me on the couch and proceeded to tell me how much he loved me and loves Skylar like his own, then said, "Will you MARRY ME?" I smiled and said YES! (of course). My Mom about tore the box out of my hand when she saw me open it, and screamed loud enough to wake up the neighbors in Mississippi. She was so excited she didn't know what to do. My reaction was very low key. It is funny because him and have talked about this day since we have been together pretty much and so when the day finally came, it was like OMG, it's happening!! I was almost shocked and I was definitely caught off guard, which was his plan. We have not set a date yet, that is the magic question that all of our friends and family want to know. Don't worry, we will tell y'all as soon as we know. We are so excited about taking this next step. Thank GOD for kickball! Which is where we met, and I almost did not go to the game that night, God sure does work in mysterious ways!
