We getting married!

Engagement Planning started back in January. We all know how Jade is about her special dates, so I thought of 2/22/22, Meh, wasn't the right time. Then it all hit me! My grandparents had a lovely marriage for 69 years, and their anniversary was my birthday! So, I felt that as a token of love to propose to Jade on Pa's birthday. Pa's birthday landed on a Monday we normally do a family cookout, who comes to a cookout on a Monday? I decided to propose 7/3/22, which is an awesome date! The day of I had a great 'Poker Face' but my son Jayden saw right through it, and gave me a pep talk, Jayden said: "do it, dad, I love her". That was enough! Everyone started to head out to the backyard to do a toast to Pa. I shouted: "I have an announcement!". Aunt Val gave Jade an "Off The Market" glass. While Jade was trying to read it, I was already on 1 knee. Of course, Jade's hands are full but she was able to read it and look over at me... It was perfect. Jade Said YES! Our family was able to be there to share that moment with us! We Love You All!
