How we met

July 14, 2016

We met the way most people meet now... on a dating website! Our first date was having drinks and getting "the best" cheese curds at a bar near Robert's work called Franklin Tap. We hung out all night, and I think we both knew something special was beginning!

The proposal

February 12, 2018

Let me start by saying... I was shocked! We had plans to celebrate Valentine's Day a bit early because I had to work on the 14th. We went to a restaurant we had been trying to go to since we started dating, but it had always been too long of a wait. (Oven Grinder's pizza pie is to die for just in case you're wondering.) I was ready to go home after eating all that pizza, but Robert was insistent that we go to the bar that we first met at for a drink... Franklin Tap. It was way on the other side of town, but we went anyway, and I still had no idea anything special was going on. We "relived" our first date having a few drinks and just having fun. I should have realized something was up when he wanted to take me back to my old apartment building before going home, but I just went along with it still not thinking that was odd. (I wanted to see my old doorman anyway so I was excited about this idea.) When we got to the apartment my doorman wasn't there (bummer) so I was ready to home. I just kept saying "where is the Uber"... "let's go".... "whats taking so long?" Then Robert caught me off guard when he got down on his knee and proposed!! He said that this is where we started our journey together and he wants to continue our journey. He asked me to marry him, and I just started crying! I think I forgot to say yes for several minutes because I was SO shocked! Perfect ending to a great date!
