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

We are very happy for them both. We love Sammi and couldn't be happier that she will officially be part of the family at some point. :) She already fits in pretty well.

Congratulations, Jordan and Sammi! It's to nice to get some good news for a change. Sammi, I've heard so many good things about you, and I'm really excited to meet you. And Jordan, major props for your mad romance skills. Love you. Aunt Lori

Congratulations you two. I didn't even know Jordan had a girlfriend. Wow. Also, I should take a second to explain that my mom is finding her urban roots these days. She's a couple years back on the lingo, so don't mind the "major props," and "mad romance" bit, it's best to just give her "street credit" and say... "word," or "wo-wo."
