Time To Catch Up! :)

Catch up time!


December: School finally ended! yay yay yay! and the countdown til Elder Truman came home was getting smaller and smaller! I was FREAKING OUT. I moved home so we can date and see what happens. Christmas was great. We had the BEST phone call and I was positive we were going to get married.


January: THE BEST MONTH OF MY LIFE, so far....
Elder Truman came home on January 7th... I went to the airport, but didn't stay long. I didn't want to take away from family time, since I know how crazy moms can be because of my mom with my brothers.... =D  So after I saw him I was completely twitter patted. I just wanted to squeeze him! I went home and my mom kept me busy doing things as I waited for a phone call... It didn't come til much later that night. We planned on hanging out the next day. The next day we played all day and while at the mall in Journeys......... <3.... that's all you get. The rest of the month was amazing! We didn't spend a day apart and we started to get to know each other all over again! 


February-March: These months are a blurr. We worked constantly, I was at the Cupcakery and he was at Excalibur. We played a lot of volleyball, tennis, and basketball and stayed up late every night watching movies. I loved just being around him again. Before his mission I was very too myself and nervous to show him how much I liked him. I was VERY reserved. I wasn't sure what was going to happen, but now...things were working out just  how we wanted.


April: So, one night we were at my house and Sydney called to tell me bad news about our living situation in the fall. I was planning on moving to Utah (with Brandeis) then living with my girlfriends til homeboy decides its time to get married. Sydney informed me that they are living without me and I would be homeless & friendless. haha. I was really sad, but how am I supposed to tell Brandeis to marry me or else? I couldn't do it because I knew I would wait as long as he needed!! Well, he decided to grab the bull by the horn and jump on the engaged train. We decided to go look for rings and get married in the fall before school started so we won't have to worry about finding roommates and such =D We found a ring we both liked but it cost an arm and a leg.... it made me sick to think of him spending his LIFE SAVINGS on a ring I could lose or ruin.. =( So I told him we should  keep looking and not break the bank. I found the most amazing ring ever. I wanted one that was unique and one that no one else would have. He bought it. Right then and there.


The Engagement:
       April 17th, very early in the morning.
I decided to surprise Brandeis after he got off work at 12:45 am. He had my ring in his truck since he went and asked the parents permission earlier that day. He went and grabbed the ring from his truck and was sitting in my car just playing with it and telling me how he told his mom he bought it. I kept trying to look at it and I just wanted to hold it! He grabbed the ring from the box and DROPPED IT underneath the seat! We were so scared haha. So once he found it this is the dialogue


Brandeis: Do you want it?
Jerilyn: Yes.
Brandeis: Right now?
Jerilyn: Yes.
Brandeis: (gets down on 1 knee inside my little jetta and pulls out the box with the ring)
Jerilyn: ARE YOU BEING SERIOUS?!?
Brandeis: Jerilyn, I love you...  (and more mushy stuff that is inappropriate....)
Jerilyn: WE ARE IN MY CAR!
Brandeis: Should I get out???
Jerilyn: (i started to laugh and got all giddy inside cause i realized he was serious)
Brandeis: You are amazing.... (more mushy stuff) Will you marry me???
Jerilyn: AH!! (gave him a big hug and a kiss) YES!


okay....so that was the gist of it.... it was probably a little bit different, but that is pretty much how it went... isn't that great. I love him <3


Now we are both living in Utah for the summer and busily working on saving money and planning the wedding. I got my dress =D and we take engagements at the end of this month


HOW EXCITING!


I love Brandeis so much! It is crazy to think that someone out there understands me and still loves me =D


We are getting married in the Las Vegas Temple on August 14th, 2010 @ 1pm!!
Be There or Be Square
