The excitement still buzzes around our house...our oldest daughter Lindsey, aka sparkie, was the lucky recipient of a beautiful diamond engagement ring this past Saturday. Yup, November 29th was the special day for her and Jesse. He had this planned for a month, so we are told, and pulled it off with a big huge surprise for his special girl. He proposed with a romantic idea of asking her to marry him with a sixteen foot sign lit up with Christmas lights! Here is how it went down....
Started with letting her dad and I know he would like to propose that night. Of course we were extatic! Jesse is just one of those perfect gentlemen...the kind any mom or dad would be pleased to see their daughter marry. He even talked to her brother Brooks when they were out hunting. That was sweet. Of course Brooks was thrilled to have Jesse as a future member of our family.
Dinner: Jesse cooked for them...a pot of chicken wild rice soup. Sounds good to me. And delicious. Ok, then two periods of the Sioux hockey game on tv. It was a close and exciting game and 1-0 after two periods. This is when Jesse suggested they leave and go put the dogs in for Bernie & Amy. With some hesitation he finally convinced her to go. . . with a detour to view some Christmas lights! Finally getting close to the destination of surprise...they rounded the corner to Bernie and Amy's house. Lindsey noticed the pretty Christmas lights...thinking the long sign said Merry Christmas. Instead, as they got closer she saw LINDSEY WILL YOU MARRY ME in red Christmas lights! She said to Jesse "are you serious?" and as they were getting out of the car he reached for a box inside his coat pocket, they got out and walked over to the sign, and he got down on one knee and asked her if she would marry him! She of course said YES and cried...happy tears...all the while Amy was hiding in the bushes and sneaking up on them with the video camera! What a wonderful moment that will be in their memories...always. While standing there, she called us on her cell phone. We were all so excited! We jumped in the car with Rylan and drove to GF at 10pm that night, meeting them at Applebees for a celebration dessert! Amy was there with them...we had a nice visit and returned to their place for a bit to see the sign and take pictures. We got back to Moorhead at 1:40am! But hardly slept with the excitement of it all! God is good...we prayed for Lindsey to find that perfect match...God's choice for her and He did! Thank you Lord!
Goodnight!
