It's Official...

I know, I know....you've all been waiting around anxiously for this post...We'll i'm happy to say that it's here!! Joshua and I are Officially engaged!!! As on November 23, 2009..

Here's the story..


So Joshua picks me up from work with a bag in his hand. He apparently talked to my Manager to make sure I would get off at 3. He gives me a cute little card that gives me a hint to where I can go to get ready at Caroline's, where all my make up and hair things were. Also he picked my outfit out himself!

Each card has a sweet message of something he loves about me, an inside joke or things like that. We've discussed we don't want our kids playing a ton of video games, so of course as I read the next clue that takes me to Game Stop, where we buy his favorite video game. lol I was so confused what to do or ask for and he slips me the money...so it was ME who bought him the game, or so he says. They give us the next card...
Which brings us to Claire's! For Christmas I asked for hair flowers, so one day we went to the mall so I could show him ones that I like. So he brought me back to buy me one!! It was so pretty!! The next clue...
Takes us to Kay Jewelers! So I look in the case and there is the ring that we picked out, so then I decided NO WAY was he proposing today...because there is the ring. So we talk with the guy who is ALWAYS there when we go to look at the ring. And then we put it back in the case :( and he gives me another clue..

Which leads to the Nissan car dealership!! I LOVE Armada's..especially white ones! So we go in and some guy comes and meets us and hands me the keys to the white Armada parked in the front and says "take it for a spin!!" I was like uhh...Josh? For reals? And so we get in the car and he Josh pulls out an envelope in the glove compartment. Which takes us to...JAMBA JUICE! We love Jamba Juice!! So we go get a drink then head back to the dealership. So the next clue takes me to his work! (Toys R Us!!) And he took me on a little scavenger hunt in the store..just showing me around and showing me all the things he does there.


They give us another clue that takes us to the Nickelcade! (Nickel arcade) But we had dinner reservations in Salt Lake so we couldn't go that night, so we kept the nickels he bought hoping to go back another day...but someone broke in his car and stole them! :(

So we go to Dinner at "The Roof" Which is a suuper fancy restaurant that overlooks the Salt Lake Temple! He requested seats with a perfect view of the temple. At this point I was pretty convinced that was just being a super sweet boyfriend taking me on a really fancy date! We ate dinner, which was delectable, and just sat around and talked. So then I was like "Hey I gotta go to the bathroom..so can we leave?" And he was like "Uhh, well I like uhh...just talking" So I said okay i'll just wait. More and more time goes by and I'm like "Josh...I really have to pee, can we leave???" And he starts saying "Well, can you just go and come back? Want me to walk you?" And I was SO confused cause he was being SO weird! So finally I was like "Alright i'll just go and come back...YA WEIRDIE! lol" So I come back and he starts talking and says he has ANOTHER surprise for me..I was like ehh no way..but up comes this LITTLE BLACK BOX!! Then i'm really like NO WAY!! I saw the ring...no way! He comes and gets on one knee and says "Kayla Michele Jarrell, Will you marry me??" And opens the box and...IT'S MY RING!!! I was FREAKING out!! I started saying "What the! No way!! How did you get it? Oh my how did you! What?!?!?!" And I realized..oh...he needs an answer so I scream "OF COURSE! OF COURSE! OF COURSE!!!! And THEN I ask questions.


So apparently he bought the ring several weeks ago and has been keeping this a secret from me. Looking back he has almost let is slip! He's said "Oh guess what! oh wait..I forgot" Or once I went in the store TWO days after he bought it...but he asked the people to order another so I wouldn't notice! He's so sneaky!! He's NEVER been able to keep a secret, surprise or present from me! But he did a dang good job....don't-ja-think??
He was so relieved afterwards! lol Looking back he was acting EXTREMELY awkward! lol It seemed so surreal thinking...that Josh actually proposed! I knew it was coming..but wow!!

We absolutely LOVE the ring!! Picture's don't do justice. But this is the best we got. It's a "Chocolate Diamond" with a "Rose Gold, or Strawberry Gold" band! It is SO sparkly!

What a perfect end to a perfect date...
