Lacy's Blog: We're ENGAGED!!!

It finally happened! We are GETTING MARRIED!!! I am wearing something sparkly on my left hand and I'll admit Jerry pulled off a pretty great surprise!! I have proof that I had no clue by what I was wearing that day because if I thought something was up I would have dressed better. Every year his family all gets together at his sister's house. I meet new people every year. We had eaten and were just sitting around the living room chatting and he told me that his dad had asked him to "address" the family. Which is totally something his dad do. So I sat on the couch playing with my early Christmas present (the new iPhone) just waiting for the "Thank you everyone for coming.. I am thankful for you all" speech.. Jerry's little "address" was so heart felt and thoughtful I was so proud of him. He was really emotional about different members of his family and he even had me teary eyed talking about a couple family members that weren't able to make it this year. Then he starts talking about Julian (I know whatever he said was great ... this is just when everything starts to get very blurry). For a split second, I had the thought... "what if he forgets to mention me!" HAHA!! Then I remember him saying, "But there is one person here that ??????????? (man i wish i remembered what he said) Then he said some really sweet things and grabbed my hand to make me stand up off the couch and he was down on one knee with a ring and a question.. My response was.. of course. I was in shock.. I just kept thinking "did this really just happen?" I have waited so long and I have thought of every scenario in the book and I couldn't think of a better way. He really did it when I wasn't expecting it. It's fun knowing that his whole family was anxiously waiting all night for the "big event" and I was never tipped off by anyone. I had asked him a long time ago how he was going to know what kind of ring I wanted and he said, don't worry about it I know you will like what I like. :) It is a very good thing he has good taste!! One of his cousins came in the bedroom and asked me to see the ring and I wad like "OH man I haven't even really looked at it yet!!" I LOVE IT!! I said all I know is that it is sparkly and it means we get to get married!! yay!!

YES I am wearing ALL parts of my ring!! I saw it and I feel like I waited long enough and I am not leaving sparkle in a box that should be on my finger :)
