what a romantic

Jor's mama Colleen wanted us to blog on HER blog about the proposal, right after it happened about over a year ago, we were giddy and crazy and posted this on his mom's blog. It's cheesey and long- we were excited okay?? : )

The Proposal March 6th 2009

It was Sarah's 21st birthday (Good ol' Allan proposed on Colleens 21st birthday! Like father like son...). Sarah was planning on spending a nice morning to herself while Jory was at school working- but that's not what Jory had planned...
10:15 a.m.- Sarah got her first clue -- a Scavenger hunt! What a creative hunk-a-love, that Jory is.



That cutie pie, Jory, was up until two a.m. writing special poems and creative clues to guide Sarah on her journey through their memoirs of love. Just a few hours later- 5 a.m. rolled around, but it wasn't hard for Jory to wake up, he was as giddy as a little school girl and couldn't wait to be on his way to Aspen Elementary to get everything in order for the hunt. Sarah had no idea what was in store on this beautiful, snowy day. Burning that midnight oil was worth it- Sarah was sent all through Orem and Provo.. from Jory's best friend Brandon's house, to Fatcats, to movie theaters and restaurants. Even a touching stop at Aspen Elementary where these two love birds first laid eyes on each other... (Mrs. and Mr. Schmidt forever... Mr. Schmidt's students knew more that these two did at the time...)







Jory, with the help of Brad and Brian were tracking Sarah's every move... (Yes, creepily filming Sarah at every stop and reporting back to the big guy where she was and where she was headed..) Last stop-- Color me mine a cute little pottery place of fond memories, that Sarah and Jory spent hours sharing their creativity. Sarah was having the time of her life running all around town, still thinking that Jory was at work, and just thinking that all of this was just a fun little birthday surprise. There was a clue on that last poster that made her heart almost skip a beat when it said, "HURRY AND COME PICK ME UP, I'M WAITING FOR YOU UP AT A SPECIAL PARK IN THE CANYON."!



He wasn't working!! She drove as fast, and safe as possible- thinking that he was sitting, freezing in the snow waiting for her. Little did she know, she kept these boys on the their toes and they were right in front of her. Sarah got up to this beautiful park, pulled into the parking lot and there stood Jory, The handsome prince, wearing a full suit and tie- looking fabulous, with snow in the air and trees surrounding them, only the faint sound of the river rushing, love was in the air. Sarah, being the oblivious person she is, still didn't know what Jory had planned. He suggested a walk up this pretty little trail which he previously lined with roses... (Such a romantic...)

The roses led us to THE SPOT. (If you look close, the ring is in a orange box to the left... and a bouquet of roses to the right..)



Jory asked the big question and Sarah responded with a parade of "Yessses". They were lucky enough to get it all on film. Jory's blessed and dedicated friend Brad, knelt in the snow with out moving for the whole proposal.... It was gorgeous and perfect and they both can't be happier! They're thinking August 7th so mark your calenders!! Yahooo!







Ahh. I love it!
