It all began on Tuesday night! I came home from my AOII meeting, and there was a red rose and a card sitting on the counter. The card said that we would be going on a date the following night and that he had gotten me off of work. He gave me a few instructions. 1. We couldn't talk at all until he picked me up from the date. 2. I had to be in bed for 11, because I had to be awake and downsairs for 7am!
So, Wednesday morning I came downstairs at exactly 7 am, and two of my very best friends (Hannah and Jenee) were waiting in the kitchen for me, each with a rose. They had prepared breakfast for us, and also had my 2nd card from Josh! This card said a bunch of sweet things, but my only instructions were to not skip class. So I enjoyed the quality time with the 2 awesome girls until my 10:00 class.
In my psych class, one of our friends, Brett, walked in with another rose and card! This card had super sweet stuff :) and told me to go immediately after class to the Reeves' for lunch with Tomara. This was so exciting because I had been dying for time with her! So, she had a great lunch ready for us, and we had a few hours of awesome conversation. And, of course, I got to hang out with my friends, Landon and Daxton (her 2 boys). When it was time for me to leave, Daxton brought me a rose with a huge smile and 2 precious dimples!
Every day I pick up Clayton from school at 3:00. His mom, Mrs. Cassie, had called me earlier in the day to see if I would just walk Clayton inside and make sure he was confortable because the door had been unlocked all day. When I did this, Clayton took off to the counter, and turned around with a rose and card! He was so excited to tell me that Josh had dropped that off for me! This card sent me to the top of our parking garage on campus where I would meet two special people. Josh also told me to try and wear a purple shirt (because that is what I wore on our first date).
As I drive to the top of the parking garage, I am so nervous and have no idea what to expect. When I get up there, there is noone! But, when I drive a little farther, Esther and Hannah pop out from behind a door each with a rose! These are two more of my favorite people that I never get to spend good time with! So, we had from 3:30 to 7 together! We went to TJ Maxx for a purple sweater, and then they stayed with me while I got ready.
Josh picked me up at 7, and I was so excited to finally get to talk to him! We could have sat on the couch all night and it wouldn't have mattered! But, we had reservations at Kirin (which is where we had our first date), so we had to leave! He had reserved the exact same table that we sat at on our 1st date! We had so much fun eating sushi and just talking. He asked if I wanted to go walk and swing at the park before we headed back, and of course I did! We always do that when we are downtown. So, as we are walking towards the swingset he stops me and says that he has one more thing to give me, so we sit on the bench. He told me that he finally finished my Valentine (which was funny because on Valentine's Day he said that he was trying to make me one but didn't finish). He gives me a card made out of 2 red hearts cut out of construction paper. On the front it says, "To: My Brittany" which is what all of the cards said. At the bottom it said, "1 more question.." When I opened it, I read, "WILL YOU?" in big letters! Then, he got on one knee and opened his little black box and said, "Brittany Kae, I love you, Will you marry me?"!! ahhh! I was so excited that I forgot to get the ring or say yes! I just hugged him as hard as I could! But, of course, both things were accomplished within minutes. After we finally left the park, we called our families, and then some of our friends came over to celebrate with us!

It was the most amazing proposal. Perfect Day and Perfect Night!
