WE'RE ENGAGED!!

On October 24th, John proposed...and I said "YES!" He took me to Columbia, a restuarant in Celebration, FL. It was so cool because at the end of dinner our waiter told us that an anonymous friend called in and paid for our meal. John had no idea that that was going to happen and it really blessed him. After dinner we took a walk around the lake next to the restaurant and John proposed on a bridge under the stars. He got down on one knee and pulled out the ring. All I heard was "Jackie Horyza, will you..." and I was already saying "Yes!" He did finish the question and then put the ring on my finger. This picture was right after the proposal.

The next day we went to lunch and when we got to the restaurant, my mom, stepdad, sister and sister's friend were there! It was a huge surprise. They flew all night on Friday and arrived Saturday morning. John and my mom had been planning it for the last month. It was so special to have them there! That night there was an engagement party with both of our families and some friends. It was such a whirlwind weekend that I will never forget! :)
