Story Time :)
Well, since I haven't had much of a chance to tell this story here goes :)
John and I headed to Jamaica last Wednesday. We were planning to surprise Ritz the little boy that we sponsor down there. I was so excited to give him his birthday presents and spend time with him and our other friends down there. Our friend from South Carolina, Jeremiah and Cyndi came down with us. So we landed and made the curvy trip to the Base Camp. We went and got Ritz and were spending time with him at the Base Camp. After giving him his presents John asked if I wanted to go for a walk. We headed down to the beach at the Base Camp, which is just gorgeous. As we were walking I found a heart shape rock and I dug it out of the sand. We continued walking along hand in hand then all of a sudden Ritz came running up yelling "Big John look what I found in the sand!" Ritz ran up and handed John something sparkly. I started shaking when I saw what was in his hand. He got down on one knee as the waves were crashing in and asked if I would spend the rest of my days with him. I was so in shock that I just shook my head and grabbed him and kissed him. He put the ring on my finger and it was the most beautiful thing I had ever seen! He did such an amazing job! The ring is so special to us. He used 2 diamonds from his grandmother's ring, 1 diamond from my grandma's ring, and melted my mom's original wedding band for mine. I can't stop staring at it.. :)
I'm still a bit in shock and can't believe that this is happening!! :) :)
More details about our Jamaica trip later :)
