Jasmine and Scott are Engaged!

On a February 12, 2009 Jasmine and Scott had a really fun filled day. Jasmine a Student teacher, enlisted Scott's help to take the Haula elementary 6th graders on a field trip to China Town. The Children were to have a scavenger hunt. At china town the children found fun objects and took pictures of their finds. Jasmine's and Scott's Mission as chaperone's was simple. They were responsible to make sure everyone had fun and stuck together. A task that is not easy to accomplish with wonder struck 6th graders. The children were very excited with Jasmine leading the charge. They found dragons, beautiful clothing, and strange and interesting foods. Somehow the children managed to find most of the objects for their scavengers hunt and we soon found our buses to go home. But little did Jasmine know the day was all but half over.

See, she knew that Scott had come to Hawaii for a reason. He had a ring for her but she did not know how she might receive this ring. Little did she know that she was to receive the ring that afternoon.

When Scott and Jasmine returned to Haula and school ended Jasmine wanted to relax for a little bit. So, Scott dropped her off at her dorm and Scott got to work. He quickly ran to the Laie Shopping center because he had to "prepare". He quickly got a hair cut and bought four dozen roses and a vase. The roses were a vibrant pink, red, and white. He then made a beautiful arrangement for Jasmine and drove to campus. Once at campus Scott called Jasmine's roommate. One might ask, Her roommate? Yes, Scott called Jasmines Roommate. Scott had a fun plan for Jasmine. The night before Scott asked Jasmine's roommate, Emma to help him. She was going to put flowers in Jasmines room and hide the flowers until Jasmine came back to her room that night. When Scott called Emma, Emma made sure Jasmine was not in the room and retrieved the flowers from Scott. Then Scott called Jasmine, they planned to got to her brothers home for dinner. Jasmine was starved but when Jasmine and Scott went to her brother, Carl's home, Jasmine received quite a shock. Carl told her "We are busy, come back at nine". She could even see the food but she did not know that Scott has also talked with Carl.

Carl with his wife JV were to hide in the bushes and a take pictures from afar. Scott handed Carl a camera without Jasmine seeing and took Jasmine to get a movie. He had to stall her in order to give Carl and JV enough time to go to the beach and hide. Scott asked Jasmine if she wanted to rent a movie and they went and rented I.Q.. Once the movie was rented she asked Scott, "what would you like to do until nine?" It was 5 o'clock and the day was beautiful. Scott said "You know it is such a pretty day, why don't we go to the beach for a walk?". She smiled a radiant smile and said "OK". Once at the beach Jasmine and Scott took off their shoes and socks and rolled up their pants.

Then they set off walking hand in hand. The sun was warm that day and the wind was gently blowing. As Jasmine and Scott neared the Goats island Jasmine want to get something to eat. So they turned around started to walk home. On the way Scott received a call on vibrate. It was the "signal" that Carl and JV were close was time to get down to business. So Scott asked Jasmine if they could take small break. He laid his towel over the warm sand. Took Jasmines hand. Then he took out the ring from his pocket with his other hand, got on one knee and asked Jasmine to marry him. It was now Scott's turn to be shocked. Jasmine was so surprised and happy that she almost pushed Scott over. She then said "Yes". To Scott's relief and gave him the biggest hug and kiss. Scott then had one more surprise for Jasmine. He whispered in her ear..."Guess what Sweety, I have a surprise for you. Your brother and sister are here". Scott then waved for Carl and JV to come out of their hiding places. When she did she was so excited. Carl and JV took some pictures and everyone returned to their home for dinner.


That night when Scott dropped off Jasmine, he waited. He waited for her to go inside to the dorm house. He then jumped out of his car and went into the court yard between the dorms. Listening to the wind flowing through the trees. Then he heard it, "AHH, I LOVE HIM!!!!!". Jasmine had found her flowers.
