does joy make your head feel dizzy, all the time?
like you have all these thoughts and you just cant seem to grab one of them long enough before another one pops up in your handS?
thats how i feel right now...
Jeff and I are engaged!
woah!
it happend in san fransisco, on a blissful afternoon jaunt to Alcatraz. I was dead tired but the vitamins and water were keeping me going. Up and up those hills. haha.
we did the prison tour and even though we had headphones on he was unusually quite. i could tell something was... well to be honest i hthought he was mad or irritated at me cause i was so tired.
then we finished up... bought some magnets and souveniers. and used the bano. i freshed up, touched up my make up and combed my hair. it was pointless because the wind would blow it every which way no matter what but it felt good to be cute for a second. he lead me down this back path. there was a little abandoned boat house and a bench, facing golden gate bridge. the sun wasn't quite setting but it was making its decent, back lighting the bridge perfectly.
we sat for a minute, he was all figity, sat down and got up a couple times. he stood behind me and rubbed my back for a minute... "my three loves... San fransisco, the ocean, and you..." it was cute. we kissed. some annoying british tourists (punk rock status) decided to take pictures with their bratty kids that didnt listen and when they talked back sounded EXTREMELY cool and intelligent, even though it was the normal kid whinning. haha. dang i wish i had a british accent!
we chuckled at the as they left and were joking about how our kids would never act like that. we sat for a few more minutes and then he got down on his knee. i was at the end of the bench and he squared me up to face him (i love how massive he is and how he can move my body around).
"i dont want to journey through life with anyone but you by my side. Jacqueline Jeanna Yturralde will you be my wife?" and then he pulled out a little heart shaped box that i hadnt even noticed from his jeans... i thought it was his cell phone the whole time... and he handed it to me.
"yes. of course!" i said back.
the ring was puton , i dont remembr if he did it or i did it, but all i wanted to do was kiss that man.
and we did. we kissed and we laughed (you know the one im talked about - the our faces are squished together and we are kissing and laughing at the same time cause we are so happy). and he wrapped those big arms around me and we just laughed and hugged and kissed for a few minutes that went by all too quickly.
we called everybody we could - stupid phone kept dropping the calls - but i managed to get a few in to the important folks. his phone squeezed off one mass text before dying.
he tried to call the hotel in secret and order champagne to be sent to our room - but they dropped the ball and never delievered it. jerks.
the rest of our trip was blissful and happy and wonderful. we hiked, we strolled, we explored the city, and the baseball stadium and a brewery and a light house and awesome food. it was simply amazing. everything i wanted or could have asked for was there.
and i am going to be Mrs. Early!
