Jessica's Side of the Story

Editor's note: here Jessica takes a turn at telling the events of our engagement. Hope you all enjoy!

Oh my goodness I'm engaged!! I still can't even believe this is real. It feels like a dream! I am so happy and so unbelievably lucky to be engaged to the love of my life! Okay, so here's the story…
Matt took me to Magelby’s for dinner on Valentine's Day. While we waited for our seats, Matt took me to Buckle and bought me the cutest sweater and a beautiful necklace. He is just the sweetest. I love him :)
Dinner was amazing and it was just perfect. He's so wonderful. After dinner, Matt asked me if I wanted to go to "our tree." (Our first kiss was in "our tree" just an FYI). I was like, “well it's pretty cold, but okay.” Matt was so clever and made it seem as if it was my idea as well. I was so oblivious that night. wow. ;)
Matt had to stop at his apartment to use the restroom – well, really to get the ring I didn't even know he had. He carried me through the snow to our tree. When we were in the tree, Matt kissed me and started playing with my hands. He reached into his jacket, got the ring, and slipped it onto my ring finger. At first I didn't think much of it because Matt always puts my CTR ring onto my ring finger just to tease me I guess. So it took me a minute to realize that my CTR ring was still on my right hand! I was so confused for those few seconds. I finally realized that the ring on my left hand was an engagement ring! I was seriously in shock. I was so surprised! I never thought Matt would purpose to me on Valentine's Day!
I pretty much started hyperventilating and then he asked me to marry him. I just started bawling. I finally found the words to speak and said yes! I just couldn't stop laughing! And crying! And laughing and crying! It was the most happy moment of my life. Matt is so wonderful and I'm just so blessed to be a part of his life! I can't wait to marry him! That same night we went to tell our roommates and our families. What a happy day!!
So how did I get so lucky?? I get to spend the rest of forever with Matthew Robertson . . . :) I am so in love, so incredibly happy and truly blessed.
