As I sit here typing I have a gorgeous ring on my finger that represents the CrAZy LOVE, tenderness and eternal promise I have for/with/about this man....Ahhhhhhh..... I feel so lucky!
I'm getting ahead of myself perhaps....
Okay....back the truck up...... * Beep * Beep * Beep*
So a few months back I get a call from my oldest bro, Jon....and he says "You need to go out with my friend, Jonathan".
So, like the good little sister I am, I oblige.... and make the first move to contact his buddy of a decade plus...who
Random fact:1 I went to Jr High with (but he was too cool to notice the frizzy haired stick figure who would later become the bombshell* better known as McCall's Mama I am today.
(*results not verified)
Random fact:2 I'd been facebook "friends" with for the better part of a year with no contact between us (How was I to know my future baby daddy was lurking in the FB shadows?! Single ladies please review yer friendlist STAT!).
Anyhooo..... we started corresponding via FB and worked our way up to texting ( for all who know me know I heart texting (well of course you know me otherwise you wouldn't be wasting yer time with this blog-o-mine...unless you don't know me and are just creepy fetish blog stalking..in which case BUGGER OFF!)...so I got to see that this kid was funny as all get out and pretty laid back like myself.
Somehow I got lucky because he found some free time in his busy dating schedule and flew out to Phx to go out on some dates while he was in town "visiting family".
Side note: I didn't believe that visiting family business for a second.
When he came out we had a fab time and I was pleased that he delivered on being hilarious and easy going and thought it was awesome that he and I are very similar personalities.... we had a lot of open and honest talks and I was able to set the record straight that I was in no position for a serious relationship.
. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .................................
Fast Forward to now: I'm engaged to be married to that cute kid...who just so happens to be one of the sweetest, funniest, tenderoni-est guys I've ever met. . . . . .
Does it feel like you are missing some details?..... Yer not.
Love punched me in the mom belly!!!
It totally caught me by surprise...I didn't see it coming and strangely it was the most natural thing in the world. I don't even know how to describe it...When it's right it's right. ..it doesn't matter how quickly it happens..it's just epic that it happens. Cliche'.... cheesy.... but true true true!
I feel absolutely blessed to have found Jonathan and am soooooooooooo(oooooooooo!!!!!!!) stoked to spend forever with this man.
Without further adieu....
Random acts of Getting Engaged: by Dave Hansen
So Little and my Bro, Dave, walk into the place where Jonathan and I were eating (Digestif....MMMmmmmm...so Delish.... ). Little sits down and he hands her a package to unwrap....
. . . . inside Little's package is an adorable little ring for her and he follows it up with a little box for her mommy. . . . .
( This is me reminding him what he's in for with a classic weird Deb face- thanks Davey boy for capturing the goodness as I delivered it)
I'm thinking "YES! YES! YES!" but what I'm saying is "ARE YOU SERIOUS!?".
So this is the thing: I knew I was going to marry him I just hadn't considered how to get us from here to there outside of clubbing him over the head and taking him to Vegas (still a solid plan)....so yes...I was beside myself.
It was dizzily surreal in a wicked awesome way.
One might surmise that Little is stoked about mommy getting married to the cutest boy ever, but those who were present know that she is totally jazzed about ganking the "baby Coke" (aka "Mommy soda") from our table before she left.
The beginning of my "Happily Ever After...."
Stay tuned ..... details on our wedding to follow as we get that mama jama planned!
