the proposal- the aloha kind (it means hello, good bye and i love you)

the aloha state. this is where my better half spent a better part of his life after high school.  he loves it there.  he loves the warmth, the water, the people, the speed at which things move and that its practically a world of its own.  but when he knew i was the woman he had to spend the rest of his life with he left it behind, and moved back to the UC (the story of his move will come later).  but he had always sworn he would take me back, he would get me to hawaii so he could share his love for it with me....

so, last October the Husband (who was not the husband at the time), was getting pretty fed up with his job.  he was working for a great company, staying very busy, making good money, we had just bought our house but he was spending 25 out of 30 days out of state on jobs.

i happened to be in Brigham City (which, no offense...  SUCKS), taking a class on fetal heart monitoring with my BCWFF (best co-worker friend forever).  when at about midnight on our first night there the husband finally got reception and called me.  i left the room as to not disturb the BCWFF.

we used Skype while he was out of town a lot.

it went a little something like this:
"i hate my job. my boss wants me to come back in 2 weeks and stay here another 2 weeks and i told him no i couldn't." (my husband NEVER says no to work).
"what did you tell him?"
"i told him i was going to be out of town, we were going on a trip."
"sweet! where we going?"
"well tickets are really cheap right now, and because i didn't want to lie, i bought tickets for me, you, and drey to hawaii the weekend after we're in st george for his baseball tournament."
"uh.... thats in 2 weeks."
"ya, and while we're out there i figured we could get married."
"uh... were you gonna ask me? or drey?"
"will you marry me jami?"
"if its in hawaii...? sure."
"ok, i'll call drey tomorrow and make sure its ok with him. i'm going to bed."

something like that....

so i go tell my BCWFF, swear her to secrecy, call the boss the next morning to ensure i'd get time off and swear her to secrecy, and continue through my fetal heart monitoring class. i got a call from drey later that night.  he was under the impression the husband hadn't asked me to marry him yet, and the husband text me and let me know to act surprised.  all giggles and barely able to contain himself, drey said that he told the husband it was ok for us to get married and he was very excited. (my mom was on speaker phone at the time, and i'm pretty sure she was happy... not positive, but pretty sure).

now i'm not sure, but i'm guessing my proposal is just the sweetest thing you've ever read, and pretty much has you in tears.  its ok. just let em flow.

so, after a bit of family drama, applying for a marriage license, finding a place to stay and ensuring everyone got tickets on the same flight, we were set to get married in Hawaii in 2 weeks.

keep in mind, this is just the proposal, the actual trip, is another story.
