It was my Birthday, and Jacob had planned a
surprise.
We hiked up Rock Canyon to a beautiful spot
next to a stream.
He surprised me with a Russian picnic
including real Russian juice and waffly!
The next picture is of the spot where he
asked me to marry him.
It was a perfect day! He
was so sweet in just wanting to make my birthday special. We hiked up the
canyon for about an hour enjoying the incredible fall colors and each other's
company, just talking. We talked about past birthdays and special moments
we have had in nature and about making new memories and special places.
After we found the perfect spot, Jacob made us sandwiches and we ate and
listened to the stream. He also pulled out my present which was
beautifully wrapped in silver wrapping paper. He kept up with the Russian
theme and bought me adorable Russian Doll measuring cups. After that he
said, "I have one more surprise for you". He pulled out his
camera and a tripod and told me that for my birthday we were going to take a
real picture in this beautiful place. Set he set it up and, "set
the timer". While he was counting down he ran over to me, and then
he said that he had forgotten one of my presents. He got down on one
knee, and he asked me to marry him.
I was so shocked! I had wanted
him to propose but I didn't think that it would happen for another couple of
months. The ring was gorgeous! He couldn't have picked a better
ring for me, it is incredible. After some freaking out and hugging and
laughing and kissing, we got the ring on my finger and we talked about marriage
and life and love.
I love this man so much and I
am so excited to start this new adventure with him!
I love you Jacob Alonzo
Stewart!
