Amazing Date, Amazing Man!

Last night Jaron took me on an amazing date! He has been talking about it for a couple weeks but he wouldn't tell me anything that we were doing so I have been so excited to see what he was up to! Well, it was more amazing than I even expected...

He said I had to be ready at exactly four thirty sharp. So he picked me and we started out with a delicious dinner at Charleston's, that place is really cool and the food is yummy.

After dinner, we got back in the car and he told me I had to close my eyes because I couldn't know where we were going. I think he drove way out of his way to get where we ended up because I had no idea! He put on some music when we arrived at our destination and he said, "I'll give you one guess what we are doing." The music he played was Jon Schmidt, he is an amazing pianist and we had talked awhile back about wanting to go. I guessed that and I was right! I saw him perform at an EFY I went to in high school and I knew how cool he was so I was so excited! The concert was absolutely fantastic! He is such an awesome performer, he can have you laughing hysterically one second and crying the next. He also had a cello-ist(don't know how you spell that) that was hilarious.

I think the coolest part about the concert was that he had this family come up on stage and they all introduced themselves and then he asked the mom what she did for a living and she said that she was a stay-at-home mom and that her husband was serving in Iraq so she could be at home with her kids. Then Jon Schmidt was talking to the kids and asking them when there dad was coming home and they said next Wednesday. Then Jon says,"What if I told you someone had come home today?" Just as he said that there dad walked out on stage... The mom had arranged it a couple weeks back to surprise her kids with their dad being home early. It was so awesome. Everyone stood up and clapped (and cried) for I swear ten minutes. It was really neat to be a part of. (the crazy hair wig was for this bumble bee tuna song that he gets all in to and he said he wears the wig so he can pound on the piano with his head harder. It was so funny!

So after already being swept off my feet for the evening, it got even better... We got back in the car and once again I had to shut my eyes until we got to our next destination. So we park and Jaron hands me my phone and tells me I can open my eyes when he calls me. So kinda scary I am sitting alone in his car with my eyes closed and I have no idea where I am and it took forever for him to call! He finally did and I opened my eyes and I was at his house, so I walk up to his door and he says, "welcome to Christmas." I walk in and this is what I see...

The pictures don't do it very much justice because it was all candlelit and there was music playing... Oh man it was romantic! We ate cheesecake and drank sparkling cider and then I opened my presents from Jaron. It was a magical evening, definitely one I will never forget. Jaron thanks for planning such an awesome night. I love you!
