On January 1st, 2014, Jason and I celebrated our "official" year THREE together!!!!!
Dare I share how he asked me to be his girlfriend?!? I do, I do dare!
Background Info:
Jason was in Michigan for Christmas. I dropped him off at the airport, and was due to pick him up on January 4, 2011. During his "vacation", my sister and I would house-sit for Jason, planning to spend New Years Eve at his apartment. Secretly, I mailed up Christmas presents and a hand-made Christmas card!
Ok, fast-forward to December 31, 2010.
Like most servers/waitresses, I had to work on New Years Eve. Huge money night! And, since the guy I was hoping to spend it with was 700 miles away, why not work?!
Working New Years Eve at The Cliffs is awesome--live band, evening gowns, tuxedos, divine food, bubbly drinks--what's not to love!? I believe it's the one day a year where you can totally be yourself with the members--dancing, singing, having a real good time!
Jamie and Katie, one of my friends, planned to meet me at Jason's place to have a few drinks and celebrate once I got off.
As time ticked away, with the countdown to 2011 in the nearing future, butterflies fluttered in my stomach. Would I call Jason to say, "Happy New Year!"? Will he even pick up? Should I just shoot him a text? Would he call? The anticipation was almost too much to bear!
With Dick Clark's voice in the background announcing 30 seconds until the ball dropped, I found a hiding place where I could call Jason. 10-9-8...it was ringing...7-6-5...still ringing...4-3-2...HAPPY NEW YEAR JESSICA!!! (Sigh of relief, I didn't have to leave a message!) Jason and I chatted for under a minute, said our "Happy New Years", promised to save our New Years kiss for each other, and then it was back to work for me. Joy!
I think I left work around 1:00 AM. I called Jamie to let her know I was off of work and to be awake when I got there! I had an hour drive from work to Jason's apartment. Jamie informed me that Katie was already passed out.
As I opened the door to the apartment, I could see Jamie asleep on the couch; passing through the hallway, I spotted Katie passed out in Jason's bed. I woke Jamie up, gave her a hug, and said Happy New Year! She was unimpressed to say the least, and was back sleeping in 10 minutes.
Being that I was safe inside Jason's apartment, I decided to give him a call and let him know. We talked for hours...until wee hours in the morning. I don't believe either of us wanted to get off the phone.
And, just before we did, Jason said he had to ask me something. "Jessica, do you want to be my girlfriend?" As too not seem like I had been waiting months for him to ask, I simply replied, "Yes!"
OH HAPPY DAY!
Now, how is a girl supposed to go to bed when the guy she's been waiting to ask her out does?!? She can't. I proceeded to wake up everyone to tell them! I was, and have been ever since, ecstatic to be Jason's girlfriend!
The next 3.5 days couldn't go by quick enough! I wanted to give my boyfriend his New Years kiss!
And, that my dearies, is the story!
Happy late Anniversary Love!
(Just to be clear, I did get Jason a card...I didn't forget!)
