We're getting Married!!

Well the night of February 12, 2017 I was with three of my friends at the Leonardtown Pub. I saw Brian walk in and "I said to my friend Lisa, Brian Hammett just walked in." ( Now I have known Brian about twenty some years through a friends family. He was always at family functions so that's how I knew of him. Never really talked to him other then to say Hi and Bye. ) So as Brian walked closer to our table I said hello and we all started talking to him. I really didn't pay any attention to him, plus I thought my friend Stephanie was hitting on him so I was like look at Stephanie hitting on Brian Hammett LOL. As we all proceeded to leave, Brian leaned in and gave Lisa and Stephanie a hug goodbye. In my head I was like, hmm am I supposed to give him a hug goodbye too? So I started to head out and walk by him and he leaned in and gave me a hug goodbye. I left and thought nothing of it. My friends and I went to the Rex and the Speak Easy and enjoyed the rest of our night. ( Brian's story is that I eyed him all night, so not true what so ever! ) I got home around 1:30am and I recieved a Facebook message around 1:45am from Brian Hammett. I was thinking, how did he find me on here. So he said "did you enjoy your night and how was the Speak easy." I responded with great, but how did you find me on Facebook? He said, "I've known you forever and I'm a pet detective." Which I laughed because a lot of my girlfriends always called me pet detective because I could always find out the information they needed. Well long story short, Brian and I ended up talking till 7am and he said "I have to go because I have 30 mins to get ready for golf." That pretty much sums it up. We talked for several months and then I introduced Brian to my three children Garrett, Alana and Braelyn. The way he treats my children and I, was something I dont think any of us have ever experienced. We are beyond blessed. I'm marrying my best friend, true love and I gain an amazing and loving family. ❤

One night I was out working and he called the kids to have a meeting. He told them he had something very important to ask them. "Alana yelled, your gonna do it aren't you, your gonna ask Mom to marry you?" A few days later Brian took the kids to the jewelry store to get my ring. They were all excited and I'm completely shocked not one of them slipped up and told me. Saturday we took the kids to Busch Gardens for a one last surprise before school started and we all had a blast. Sunday morning, 9/1/2019, we set out to head to the Botanical Garden in Williamsburg, VA. When we arrived it definitely didn't look like what we imagined, but we decided to go in anyway. From the outside is looked over grown with weeds everywhere. When we walked through the gates into the Botanical Garden, it was absolutely gorgeous! I was taking pictures of all the beautiful flowers and butterflies that were everywhere. We walked around for about 20 mins, the whole time the kids kept whispering to Brian "when are you gonna do it?" I never heard them once, nor had any clue this was happening. Every place he wanted to do it, there ended up being people sitting where he wanted to ask. So Brian started to get frustrated because by this time we were going back through trails we had already gone through. I was looking at a magnolia tree because they are my favorite and Brian said my name. I then turned around and he was on one knee and the kids were all standing behind him. I don't think it really registered what was going on at first and I was completely shocked. Brian said, "Heather Jean will you marry me? Will you spend the rest of my life with me, I mean will you spend the rest of your life with me." I said yes and he said, "are you sure?" and I responded of course!!! I never even realized Alana was video taping the whole time. It could not have been any more perfect than it was and not only did the kids get surprised, so did I. ❤
