We're getting married!

John was visiting a mutual friend of ours, Eddie, and he came out to church with him. I was the welcomer for the church that day and so I was getting to know the new comers. So when I saw John, I walked up to him and introduced myself. He was so nice, funny, and southern!! I knew Eddie was heading back home to southern California, so a couple of days later I texted him to wish him a safe trip back. To my surprise, John texted me back letting me know Eddie was asleep. We texted each other through Eddies phone for a while until John gave me his number (sneaky I know). And the rest is history (;

John has been to Santa Barbara, California a few times for business trips. He has told me about this beautiful cliff that overlooks the Pacific Ocean and he wanted to take me there for our anniversary. So when I was visiting my mom in the summer, John came to visit and we made a trip to Santa Barbara. As we were walking on the trail to get to the edge of the cliff, I could see the spot decorated with rose pedals on the ground and pictures of us hanging across a tree log. I still didn't think it was for me. As we got closer John looked at me and said, "You know this is for you right?" I couldn't believe it. I kept telling myself NO WAY. IT'S HAPPENING. IT'S REALLY HAPPENING. When we got there John got down on one knee and asked me to marry him, AND I SAID YESSS. As I looked around, I knew John wasn't capable of decorating the place on his own. One by one I saw my friends pop up from behind a tree or a bush. I was so touched that my friends would come all the way down to Santa Barbara to be a part my special day. It's a day I will never forget.
