We had planned to spend Christmas Eve the way we did the previous 2 years, starting the night with dinner and presents with some of my family and finishing with the annual Evan's family Christmas party. I spent the entire night thinking that everything was completely normal, little did I know, Jake had other plans. Mid way through the party, while mingling with family, my mom called me into the living room to open a gift from her. It didn't feel like something she would normally do but I went with it. My hands were shaking, our family was gathering near us, and I was trying my best to keep myself from crying in case it wasn't what I thought it was. I opened the box and inside was an ornament, I couldn't even read what it said because I was freaking out. My mom told me to turn around and he was on one knee with the ring in his hand. I immediately starting crying, shook my head YES and we were engaged!! There wasn't a single dry eye, from all of the men anyway.
