How this thing called a wedding got started!

I wanted to share my engagement story and how this whole thing came to be. This year on Valentines day, Parker and I spent the whole day together. We woke up and decided to go to breakfast. We chose Doug and Emmy's and surprise surprise it was swamped. We would have not been eating until 2:00, guaranteed! We figured we better find somewhere else so we went to Mimi's cafe. After breakfast we went shopping and picked up a few things. After visiting loved ones we thought we would go snow shoeing. We had talked about going for a long time. We drove up to Mountain Green, which by the way is beautiful. After snow shoeing in for a good twenty mins or so we came to a huge snow hill. We climbed to the top and looked at the beautiful view around us.



Since it was Valentines day, Parker thought it would be cool to make a giant heart in the snow. He wanted to put P+J and have me take a picture of it. He told me to stay up on the hill and he would go down into the field. I guided him while he was snow shoeing this huge heart into the snow.



After the heart was made he told me to go the other side of the hill and to not watch cause this next part was a surprise. I had no I idea, I sat and took pictures and wrote things in the snow. After about 15 mins I wondered what was taking so long? Finally he came huffing and puffing up the hill. He had me close my eyes and he led me to the edge. He told me to open my eyes and what I saw was amazing. Parker had stomped Will you marry me Jamie?, into the heart. He got down on one knee and told me some of the nicest things I have ever heard.



I of course said YES, and that is where we are today!! I am the luckiest girl to be able to share my life with this person. Here are a few more pictures of our unforgettable day.
