I chose day twenty because it's simple and easy. You all know our/my blog title, you all know who's the most important person in my life. (it's Jeremy, in case there was in confusion). anyways I could blab on and on about jeremy, because there are so many things to say about him. we are really on the same wavelength (most of the time) and I love that we are so crazy and alike (even though you wouldn't believe it with Jeremy).
but I also wanted to write about our proposal story. My side of it.
I remember a lot of people asking about it last July, and I never really got around to writing it down. a lot of it really makes me laugh, and it gets me bubbly remembering it, because I loved it so much! :) disclaimer* knowing me and my obsession with details, this will probably be very long.
So to set the scene, Jbaby proposed on Saturday, July 3rd of last year.
On Thursday, Jeremy worked a 6-2 shift and I had school in the morning. I had decided to stay at the marriott library to catch up on some studying afterwards. We were avid text-partners at that time, and I assume when jeremy stopped texting back around 2, it was because he went home and fell asleep. anyway, I get over to his house around 4:30ish, run up to his bedroom because I'm so excited to see him........... and he's not there. He's. not. there. I get myself calm until I find his truck isn't under his big white tent. and then I'm freaking out. I know it's silly but, I'm thinking he got in some major accident on his way back from work, because Jeremy NEVER randomly stops texting me. so I'm calling him... no answer. calling him... no answer. calling him... running to my car, speeding down his neighborhood, driving the route I know to work. Suddenly, jeremy then texts me, "hey babe, sorry they asked me to stay late at work until 4 or so." Oh! okay! no problem! no suspiscions what-so-ever! I'm playing Barbie with Jeremy's normal niece and his CRAZY niece when he comes home with his sister, Melissa. again, no suspiscions, just so trusting and happy to see my lover! (they were picking out the ring, and apparently they had even made up a cover-up story because jeremy was so paranoid I would ruin his surprise).
So the next day, Friday, jeremy is working another 6-2 shift. and I'm at the Bodtcher house again. while I'm napping, Melissa comes in and corners me about what my dream proposal is. Obviously, I hadn't thought this through at the point, so we'll skip the awkward conversation. Jeremy takes forever to get home again (picking up the ring) and tells me report just took forever.......... (right). Later that evening, Melissa tells me I have to do my hair cute and stresses the importance of pictures for the 5k the next day (this is really stressing me out because my hair always looks awful when I'm running). She also tells me hypothetically if Kellen (her fiance) ditches her and if Jeremy ditches me, that I have to run with her (because I like to sprint the last yards any race). Which I'm blowing off, because jeremy never ditches me when we run. His dad is also dropping huge hints like "Jeremy... so are you nervous for tomorrow?" and really, I didn't pick up on a thing... I really didn't think anything was out of the ordinary, while all around me there was this SECRET!!!!!!!
so come saturday. we get up fresh and early for the run (this makes me smile, because I guess Jeremy hardly slept, imagining the different ways he's propose). I don't notice Jeremy acting weird, or extra quiet, or super nervous (like how guys apparently normally act before they propose?) but anyway, we start the race... we're running together... we hit mile one, and out of nowhere, Jeremy ditches me and takes off.............................. so I'm trying not to be upset, but yes, I'm a little upset that now, I'm in a mass sea of strangers all by myself and it's stressing me out (okay, not really). But I start jogging really slow, and the last 2.1 miles by myself felt like it took forever, because I'm thinking about everything i was going to say to jeremy after the run (haha). Anyways, I get to the end, and I see Jeremy at the sidelines... waving me over. yeah, I totally ignored him (haha). then he's waving me over frantically, so I stomp over to him, and before I can say anything, he gets down on one knee and with an opened ring box.
the next split second felt like a few seconds actually, because I remember going deaf and my vision focusing in on just J. and the next thing I know I'm screaming and tackling him and screaming and.... just screaming. (and jeremy stands up at this point, which I was confused about). He asked me "is that a yes then?" and I was so shaken up, I don't think I remember my response? apparently it was affirmative, because I finished the race with a ring on my finger, and a fiance by my side.

so anyway. long story short, he proposed, and i said yes. (kinda) Probably the most eventful 3rd of July I've had in my life.
I just wanted to say that one of the things I love about Jeremy is that considers my preferences and my feelings and me all the time. I love that he knows that I love surprises and that I loved my surprise proposal. I love that he always made it (and still makes it) so easy to see that we're soulmates.
