It was a total surprise. Just a couple of months earlier Jaymes had taken a job in Tulsa which is 2 hours away. We were rocking the long distance thing.
On this day, Jaymes had driven back to Joplin after already working all day long and went to my parents house to ask my Dad for my hand. My parents hadn't really approved of Jaymes for the first few years of our relationship, so this was a big deal. They apparently talked for over an hour and then my parents gave Jaymes their blessing.
I would have said yes regardless.
My Mom called me and asked me to come over to the house to sign some insurance papers for her work. I walked in the door and Jaymes stepped out of the laundry room and got down on one knee. As you can see in the pictures, I was completely shocked! Jaymes said a lot of sweet things, I think, I actually can't remember anything he said, and then asked me to spend the rest of my life with him and I said yes!
My Mom, Dad, brother and sister were all watching. And my brother took photos. They are some of the worst photos ever, but I treasure them.
So here they are.
