Jason and my story starts when I had left for Spain at the end of my Junior year of college for nearly three months, we had been dating for over a year at this point. I remember leaving and just crying so hard that it hurt, or rather hurting so bad that I cried. Either way my heart felt torn out of me and left in Oklahoma. The whole time all Jason and I could do was talk on the phone which was pretty limited and I sent postcards and emails every now and then as well.
As the days approached for my return to the states, my anticipation grew of the next time I would get to see him and what he would look like and what it would feel like to be in his arms again. I picked out my outfit that would compliment my new tan and fixed my hair at the layover before I got to Tulsa (although it didn't stand a chance against this Oklahoma humidity).
I still remember the butterflies in my stomach as I walked down the terminal exit towards the baggage claim.
There he was with a vase with 3 red roses in it.
We hugged and I cried.
But it was about 10 minutes we stood there just hugging in the airport when I asked if he wanted to go to the baggage to get my bags. He hesitated and just said that he wanted to stay there for a minute, that's when I knew something was up. I even commented on how hard his heart was beating through his chest. Then he got down on one knee and proposed!! Even though I felt it coming I was still SO shocked. It only added to the excitement of being home in his arms.
He couldn't wait to get that ring on my finger after me being away all that time. I'll never forget that moment. It's a forever frozen in time movie clip in my mind of our love story.
So young and so in love!
