We met in Winona, MN during a work trip when we both worked for Fastenal. At the time he lived in California and I lived in Pennsylvania. Everyone that was in our training class decided o go to a bar for dinner and he sits down next to me, at the time he didn't say a word to me, but as the night went on he started making conversation more and more.
It was Christmas morning and we both got up very early. I went to the bathroom and when I came out he had put a ribbon around Brooks' neck and as I looked down to admire the ribbon I saw there was a ring on the bow as well. He then got down on one knee and proposed and of course I said YES!
