The Engagement


     For the last  w e e k  Jordan had been acting strange, and super sneaky. He told me I was NOT allowed to look into the glove box in our car. (hmm... I wonder why?) I thought he was joking around so I tried to open it, he cried out "NO" and shut it fast, but before he did I saw a yellow paper. I asked what it was he was hiding and my answer was a mysterious "YOU"LL SEE." 
     After a few days he randomly asked me for my cell phone, he was expecting a call that he didn't want me to answer. At this point I was getting extremely curious, and a little worried. I found out he had went to St. George which I thought was odd because we were suppose to be going up there later that day to see my family. 
      Later when we were driving to St. George I asked about it again. He said "If you really need to know now you can look in the glove box." I looked and didn't see the paper, which I knew he would have moved. I looked more thoroughly and took out all the papers. 
U N T I L... a saw a little black box at the bottom. I pulled it out with tears in my eyes and opened it to find a silver ring with an emerald stone in the middle. I remember going to the mall with him and asking to look at rings, because their pretty (and I really love window shopping!!)  This was the ring I had said I liked, because green was such a pretty color and it was simple and sweet. Through my tears I heard his cracked voice say "Samantha will you marry me?"... Well of course I said "YES!!" We pulled over and took a minute. 
     We are planning on a long engagement  but wanted to show our commitment to each other  We are extremely happy. 
     To everyone who already knew, thank you for your support and congratulations
Jordan Perkowski and Samantha Jones
