Believe It!!

Oh my goodness, can you believe today has finally arrived? Believe it! For the last 7 years we have been waiting for a planned JaSam proposal.  Even though this is the 3rd proposal for JaSam, this one was planned and felt much more like this is the real deal.  Our day has arrived.  After so many years of watching this amazing couple build a stronger and stronger relationship, we finally got the proposal we have been waiting for all these times.  If I were my 3 yr old daughter, I know what her reaction would be. She would be dancing around screaming from the top of her lungs, "THIS IS THE BEST DAY EVER."  That is about what I felt like doing all day today.  I hope I was this excited the day I got engaged. LOL - only kidding but I was pretty excited today.

I am not even going to discuss the other stories that took place today because to me they were just white noise.  I did rejoice a little knowing this was the last day we would see Brenda for a while.  But overall I didn't even notice the other issues in Port Charles today.  My focus was only on the most important reason I watch the show.

Sam in no one's fool.  She knew Jason was up to something.  At first she might have not suspected a proposal but then after she added everything up it was clear what Jason's intentions were for the evening.  She knew Jason was going to propose and she already had decided she was going to say yes.  I remember when my husband proposed to me I clued in much like Sam but didn't want to steal his thunder in all that he had planned.  So instead of blurting out in the car as he whisked me away on a romantic weekend get away (which was completely unlike him to do), "Are you going to propose?"  I caught myself in mid-sentence and asked "Are you going to...to....to pass me the M&M's?" that were sitting in the bag of goodies he had bought for the trip.  I knew what he was up to.  I was jumping out of my skin with excitement the entire weekend and after the first night had pretty much convinced myself I must have been wrong.  Then he finally proposed when we were on a hike by a stream.  But much to his surprise I was so excited, I tackled him screaming "YES" about 100 times and knocked him into the rapidly passing freezing cold water.  That's a moment I hope I never forget!

I don't think Sam will ever forget today either.  Sam is her own person and Jason knows this.  He never thought about asking Sam's mother's blessing because he knows Sam is her own person and what she decides is what really matters.  However, Sam wanted to talk to her mother about it because she wanted to make sure Alexis was going to accept them engaged this time.  Alexis was less then supportive the last time these two got engaged even before she knew she was Sam's mother.  Sam didn't value Alexis' opinion last time around.  However, this time their relationship has very much matured.  Sam has shown Alexis she wants to be part of Jason's life and she can handle it.  Alexis has matured all too.  She no longer convinced Jason is a bad person.  She isn't crazy about the risks he takes or the lifestyle he leads but she knows that he loves her daughter to no end.  Alexis knows Sam's heart is safe with Jason and that there is no other man in this planet that could make Sam this happy.  So Alexis finally gave Sam her blessing and even admitted that she was a little jealous that Sam had found the love Molly could only read about in books. Sam is living proof that love does exist.  Maybe this will give her a little hope for her own personal life.  Maybe there is hope for love after all for Alexis Davis...just maybe.

Alexis was so excited for Sam she was very quick to spill the beans to Kristina just like a real mom should be.  I think Sam was stunned that her mother was so excited about this news that she told Kristina.  Sam still looked a bit terrified but she recovered in time to meet Jason on the roof.

Poor Jason.  I was really surprised Maxie wasn't the next thing off that roof.  Though Jason knew after going down 16 flights of stairs that Maxie would never do this on purpose.  They are the perfect older brother/little bratty sister combination.  I love their friendship.  Maxie is so honest and explains it to Jason from a woman's perceptive.  Maxie partially convinced herself this was might be an omen but Jason was quick to point out to her this was no omen, this was an accident.  Maxie explained proposing without a ring is more of a "what if" and I think Jason took that to heart.  He realized there was some truth to what Maxie was saying.  He had absolutely no intention of giving Sam the impression this is just a "What If".  He wanted to give her proof.

Jason's breath was taken away when Sam met him on the roof.  She looked stunning.  He knew in that second, this was so right to propose to Sam.  He watched her walk over to him he was thinking, 'this is the person I want to spend the rest of my life with.' A sort of peace washed over him.

Sam: "Am I late?"
Jason: "You're perfect."
Sam: "Thank you - I didn't mean to keep you waiting. Jason, this... is beautiful."
Jason: "Maxie helped."
Sam: "Did she pick out your shirt too?"
Jason: "Yeah, how did you know?"
Sam: "Because you never wear blue and this is something Maxie would pick out it matches your eyes."
Jason: "Do you want me to wear more blue? I mean blacks for work but I can wear more blue."
Sam: "Absolutely not.  I don't need you to change a thing to please me."

Sam said it all with that.  She has never wanted Jason to change.  She accepts everything about him.   While so many other couples fell apart today in Port Charles because they could not accept each other and tried to change one another, our super couple remained rock solid.  The reason is because they never tried to change one another.  They accept one another completely and that is absolutely beautiful. 

Sam: "Candles and roof tops and dinner have nothing to do with real love."
Jason: "Well tonight they do."

Jason has never been this romantic in his entire life.  It works for him.  I didn't think it was possible but he is even hotter and sexier when he is being romantic with his girl.  Jason isn't afraid of telling Sam how he feels.  He isn't afraid to show her either.  Jason knows he has the love of a lifetime and he knows he needs to make sure she knows how much she means to him.  Jason took Sam's hands and it sent electric energy through both of them.

The Proposal
Jason: "...I learned from what I lost and I will never take time or love for granted again. I love you so much. And I would be honored to spend the rest of my life with you. Will you marry me?"

Sam: "First, I want you to know I love you.  I didn't even understand the meaning of that word until I met you.  You have changed everything for me."
Jason: "Is that a yes?"

In classic Sam fashion she rambled on in the most adorable way we all know it vintage Sam. Jason began to sweat.  He was a little afraid she was going to say she did not want to marry him.

Sam: "If you are asking me because you think it will make me happy. I want you to know, I am already happy.  Every morning that I wake up and you are next to me, every time you walk out a door and look back for just a second to notice me, all the little ways you let me know that I matter...That is what I want for the rest of my life.  I don't care about a ceremony, or a ring or a dress. I don't care about being Mrs. Jason Morgan or Sam McCall.  Jason, I just want you."

Jason: "You have me,"
Sam: "k"
Jason: "..Every day for the rest of my life.  But if it is okay with you, I would still like us to get married."

Again in classic Sam fashion she was so excited and began to ramble just the way Jason loved to hear her go on.   It was so cute when she told him a wedding was a lot of work and her sisters are already planning things.  He was relieved for a second realizing she had already told her family.  He began to even search for the answer.  Teasing if he needed to ask her mother or her sister.  
Jason: "Did you tell them the answer? Should I call your mom or your sister?"
Sam: "Yes, I mean no. You don't have to call Kristina.  I mean I can answer for myself."
Sam: "Yes, Jason! Yes, I will marry you." 
Jason: "Are you sure?"
Sam: "Absolutely yes. And truthfully now that I have said it out loud, I can't imagine anything more then on this planet then being your wife."

Sam: "I can't believe we are getting married!"
Jason: "Believe it!"

Believe me, I truly believe it this time and I think so does everyone watching.  I hope this attracted even non-soap viewers. 

That was the most incredible proposal in all of daytime! I cried right along with Sam.  I was at a loss of words for the longest time after that proposal.  Even people who may not be big Jason and Sam fans, can not deny, that was the greatest proposal ever!!!!!

Jason was so cute when he explained to Sam what happened to the ring.  Sam looked like she might  go knock Maxie upside the head for a second there. But when Jason pulled out the nut and gave it to her it was darling, funny, very memorable and extremely sweet.  He could not wait another minute to ask Sam so he grabbed that nut and ran to the roof.  That was the most epic episode of GH I have ever seen and I have been watching since Luke and Laura days! 

Every person watching GH today can't deny, their hearts were in a flutter watching that incredible proposal. We know this was just acting but that was some of the best acting I have ever seen in all my life.  Steve Burton and Kelly Monaco deserve emmy's for their work on GH.  They have made this couple magical and have resurrected daytime drama.  Make sure to vote for them on SOD everyday.  Make sure to get them on top!
