It's Official!!

This weekend my little sister Jentrie and her new fiancee' Jake Williams got engaged. It was quite the ordeal, but such a fun night. Jen's friend Carly and her girlfriends were supposed to take Jen to pick up Jake who had "run out of gas" up by the temple. On the way up there Carly and the girls were broadsided in the intersection of Main Street and Parrish Lane in Centerville. No one was hurt, but everyone was quite shaken up. Carly's parents had bought this car for her just last week. Luckily my mom, Jamie, and I were on our way home from WalMart and were right on the corner and watched the accident happened. We jumped out to help them and I had to talk Jen into coming with me to still go get Jake. It took quite a bit of convincing, but I eventually got her in the car. While Jake was waiting for us to finally make our way up to the Stoneridge neighborhood area he had been hiding near the car. He was hiding near some bushes and a family enjoying the evening on their deck noticed him. The husband jumped in his car and came and shined his brights on Jake who came crawling out. I'm sure this man thought Jake was going to rob him or was doing something sketchy. Jake explained that he was waiting to propose to his girlfriend and the man offered to turn on his surround sound music system near by to add to the mood. Jake said no thanks and returned to the bushes. Too funny!! Once we made it to Jake there was just a note waiting on his car. She listened to sweet songs and read notes hidden in the car that eventually led to her setting up a little picnic with candles, sparkling apple cider, and her favorite, chocolate dipped strawberries. (Just have to mention that Jake has really bad luck and while Jen was listening to the music and reading the notes the sprinklers turned on and Jake had to hide under the "foliage" but was still wet.) Jake had a set of really big (Grandma) scriptures engraved with Jentrie Williams and told her that he wanted to grow old with her. It was very exciting and we are thrilled to welcome Jake as a member of our crazy family. (I just hope he realizes what he's in for! HaHa) Congratulations and we love you both!
