The Proposal (according to Kim)

So during the week Jon had mentioned that he had gotten us some tickets to go see a show and a dinner for Friday night. He said that it was a surprise and that I would not find out until that night what "show" we were going to watch.  He arrived at 7:35pm to pick me up, he was running behind schedule, as he said that he would pick me up at 7:15pm and the show was going to start at 7:30pm. A few minutes before he arrived he called me saying that his car had broken down and that he just borrowed his friends xterra.  I asked him why he hadn't called me that we could just take my car. He shook it off saying he had borrowed his friends car because he was closer to where his car had broken down. I found that to be a bit strange but I didn't make much of it...         

He finally arrived to pick me up.  While I waited for him I was watching House sitting on the couch. He  had a different look in his eyes that I hadn't seen before, he had "smiling eyes".  He sat next to me and I told him that I was ready to go.  I'm an extremely perceptive and intuitive and by this point I knew he was up to something!

We got into the car and he said that he was going to blindfold until we got to the "show" up in Orem. We took off and drove for a several minutes, and then he pretended that we where in the parking garage, he parked the car and I asked if I could take off the blind-fold and he said not yet. ..

He got out of the car and and opened my door and told me to come out and we walked about  20 yards and he asked me if I knew where we where. I said that it was outdoors because it was a bit chilly since it had been snowing the day before and that day. I could feel the breeze being outside. I responded are we at a park? or a mountain? he was like nope. He then proceeded to take off the blind-fold and asked me again if I knew where we where. I looked around and we where under the tree where we first kissed.  He said "You know what I have" and I recall him asking me at least twice if I was sure I wanted to do this... He then got on one knee and pulled out the ring box and said "Kim will you marry me? " I of course said yes!!!    

He said there was more and we went downstairs to the basement of his brother's house where he had set a table for two in the living room area. The room was decorated with Christmas lights around the wall. The table had a gorgeous arrangement of flowers with Stargazers and Orchids, two of my favorite flowers! There was also a candle and a very fancy set-up, even the napkins where nicely arranged.  His good friend Curtis and his girlfriend Anna where so cute and nice of them to cook and serve us a full Italian 4-course meal! The meal was beyond delicious, he had previously worked at an Italian restaurant, so only imagine how exquisite the entire dinner was!

During the dinner Jon was glowing! I don't think I have ever seen him so happy and excited! He kept smiling from ear to ear! He kept on staring at the ring and smiling! I think he stared at it more than I did! (not that I didn't think the ring was gorgeous, because I absolutely love the ring he picked out!) but I was just beyond happy and I was just enjoying watching him be overly happy!

Despite all the little inconsistencies before the "show" I was still surprised because he had told me that he didn't have the ring yet that same day and I actually believed him! Wow, what a "Show"!!! I feel extremly blessed to have Jon in my life! I truly feel like the luckiest girl on earth to be able to marry my best friend! I'm beyond excited and I can't wait till our big day!!!
