we're engaged!

Colton called me and asked me if I wanted to go flying with Jess and Lindsey {colt's brother-in-law and sister} last night. Jess has his pilots license and we have gone up before so I didnt think too much of it. I worked until 6 so when I got off work I called Colt so we could go. Unfortunately the wind was blowing too hard so we couldnt go up. Colton was really frustrated about it but I kept telling him it wasnt a big deal and we could go a different day. I didnt understand why he was so upset about it.
So he took me to dinner. After dinner we went back to his house and he handed me this book.



He told me it was his little sisters book so I didnt really think much of it. It's one of the books that you can record yourself reading and when you turn the page it reads whats there. So I open it and Colt's voice starts reading to me. I loved it but he kept telling me it would get funny so i wouldn't suspect anything. I was waiting for it but it just kept getting sweeter and sweeter. The last page looks like this.



His voice reads it to me then says "Jessa, this book doesnt even close to describing how much I love you. I want to spend forever with you. So Jessa, Will you marry me?"
I looked over and I had gotten on one knee and proposed. I don't think it was a shocker to anyone I said yes and the rest is history.
Oh! He told me why he was so upset about the plane though! I guess he had it all planned out. Will you marry me was going to be written in one of his fields and we were going to fly over and then he would propose to me. Then it all made sense why he was so bummed about not going up. But his proposal was perfect, and the ring is gorgeous!




We havent set a date yet. Colton will be done with power lineman school in December so we will probably get married the beginning of next year, once school is done and the holidays have settled down. We are excited and I feel pretty dang lucky to say the least.
