Soon to be Mrs. Jefferson Johnson!!

Well, I figured that it was about time I start contributing to this blog and what better opportunity then to make the big announcement that yes WE ARE ENGAGED!!! I think most of you already know but it finally happened and I’ve been a very happy girl since then.

It all began on Thursday when he told me that he lost his keys to Chichi (his Dodge Neon) but I didn’t think much of it and figured they would show up soon. Well, they didn’t turn up and very early Saturday morning (1:45 am to be exact) my roommate came in and said Jeff was trying to get a hold of me. I had just barely fallen asleep and my phone was on silent so I had no idea he had been calling. I called him back right away and when he answered he sounded kind of panicked and was like “hey, you know how I lost my keys?” He then began to tell me that when he had gotten home the police were there and that someone had stolen Chichi and that they found it on BYU campus! He asked if I would come pick him up because he didn’t have spares for Chichi. I told him of course and that I’d hurry. So I just threw on sweats and a sweatshirt, no make-up, and kept asking my roommate “is something going on?” She of course told me no but I didn’t know quite what to think. I kept telling myself not to get my hopes up, but secretly I was hoping he had something up his sleeve.
I got to where he said Chichi was on campus but I didn’t see anyone so I called his phone but there was no answer so I called again and no answer…so then I started to panic! All these thoughts started running through my head and I began to think he was serious and that he was maybe off chasing after the guy who stole his car! I was trying to figure out what I was going to do when I got closer to Chichi and saw red stuff all around the car and got even more scared but then realized they were rose petals and on his window he had written READ with an arrow pointing to the back. On the back, there was a card he had written for me and at that point I just started crying. I reached the end of the card and it said “Meet me where I first asked for your number” (which was near the Humanities building for those of you familiar with BYU campus). Still crying, I ran to the spot, and there he was waiting. He came over and got down on one knee and asked me to marry him! I could hardly get anything out but of course I said yes! By that point, my crying had turned into laughing and I couldn’t believe everything that had just happened. BYU definitely will hold a special place in my heart now.

All I have to say though is that I’m the luckiest girl and I couldn’t ask for anything more! I can’t wait to marry the man I love and be with my best friend for the rest of my life. The big day is June 26th and we all hope you will be able to share in our special day!
