We are Engaged!

Okay, so I know I am not officially a Steed yet, but I wanted to start our blog since there are so man incredible things happening for us! I figured if I was soon going to be a Steed, I might as well start the blog off with the engagement story! I first have to say never in a million years was I expecting to get engaged when I did. I thought he would ask me in a month or two, but had no idea it would come when it did!

The day after Thanksgiving 2013, Jared and his family, had invited me and my niece and nephews down to his house, because Santa was going to be visiting his family. I thought nothing of it. Jared had it planned, so my whole family would be down there, with his who family! Isn't that perfect! We had just finished watching Frozen with my family, and all of a sudden, my whole family is getting really pushy for me to leave and go to his house. I couldn't understand why. This was not like my family at all! I was even a little grumpy about it. He told me we were going shopping before Santa at his house, and there was no way in this world I wanted to go shopping on Black Friday. I know I was a little bit grumpy, but I did what they asked, and we left.

Once we had left, Jared, took me to the first place we met, as well as where we had our first date. Zuppas! He knows how much I love Zuppas. Note that I thought it was really weird we were going out to eat the day after Thanksgiving. We had so much food I couldn't imagine why we would be going out to eat. I didn't complain though, because I love Zuppas. After we had finished eating we headed back to his house, because  my family would soon be arriving at Jared's house.

We got to his house, and shortly after my family, his family, and Santa arrived. Now at this point I didn't think anything of it. Then Santa called on me from the corner of the room to help him out. He had me call up all of the kids, and we sang a couple of songs, then he had Jared and I come and sit on his lap. Then Jared gave me the most gorgeous long stemmed roses, and out of Santa's bag came a little box. Then Jared got down on one knee, and asked me to marry him. I started to cry and said, "Yes!" I couldn't have been happier. It was the perfect proposal. Now I get to marry my best friend, my better half, my prince charming, my future husband Jared Steed! I love him with all of my heart! He truly was a blessing and an angel sent to me from above! I am so grateful I have Jared in my life! I can't wait until March 29, 2014!! I love him so much!
