I took up running as a sport before meeting Jon and have competed in many races! This particular day- May 19,2012, Jon and I participated in a 8k in Colonial Williamsburg to benefit the wounded warriors foundation that morning and I was very excited that Jon ran with me! I also planned for my parents to visit that weekend and they arrived in town later that day. We all went to Jon's parents house for a cookout and I even noticed Jon and my Dad talking, but thought nothing of it.
That night Colonial Williamsburg was hosting music and a fireworks show to conclude the race and we decided to take my parents to it. I also LOVE fireworks so i was equally excited to go! the whole drive to CW Jon was very anxious and his hands were cold which they are usually always warm. Even after we parked the car and got there he was very lovey and holding my hand and well nervous. I asked him what was wrong he mentioned his body must just be worn out from the race so I thought nothing of it.
As we were seated waiting for the show to begin Jon kept getting antsy asking what time the fireworks would start and then as soon as they started he dragged me out to the middle of the field. I of course was thinking what has gotten into him and he even made me put my phone away as I was trying to take pictures of the beautiful fireworks. That's when he turned to face me and I basically went blank as he started talking about us and then he got down on one knee, I went into shock! I was so surprised and caught off guard and what a perfect proposal it was! It took a few minutes of processing for me to have it all sink in- but he sure did surprise me!!! |
