An eventful thanksgiving

Okay...so on Thursday morning JJ picked me up so that we could hang out and celebrate his 24th Birthday before the Thanksgiving dinner. He said he wanted to go to the park and hang out and so we went to a small park near his house and he put down a blanket and then he gave me a teddy bear with a rose(which i thought was strange because it was HIS birthday!) There was also a card attached to the bear with a picture us on the front and when i opened the card it said "WILL YOU MARRY ME?...(say yes)" I just gasped and then he pulled out the ring and i said yes of course! We sat there for a while and talked about how exited we both are then went to my house to report the news to my parents! When i walked into my house my dad was standing there and i held my left hand up to my face with a big smile and he said..."what? Is something different?" and i said yes and he just didn't know what it was! He kept guessing then finally realized my left hand had an engagement ring and he said OH! You're engaged! haha. Later JJ and i went to eat with all his family for thanksgiving and annouced the news and they all were happy and exited. I work with his brothers and sister so i'm pretty close to them and i can be myself around them so that is a major plus. After we ate with his family we went to my aunt Shelly's house for my family's thanksgiving and made gingerbread houses! JJ and I had to be origonal since last year we made an awesome ice cream truck(we've never even attempted to make an actual house for some reason)... JJ had the brilliant idea to construct a camera! It turned out pretty good too.

I'm having issues with arranging the photos for this post so for now i'm only adding those two pictures at the top because i'm getting frustrated with trying to add and arrange them where i want them. So anyways, yesterday was a happy thanksgiving, birthday and engagement! I'm so happy that i get to spend forever with my best friend. I love JJ so much...there is no one in the world that could possibly love me and treat me better. I am so blessed to have him in my life!
