We have known each other for almost a life time it seems like... We used to hang out as little kids, and have always had the same circle of friends. I remember going over to Charlie's house when we were in middle school, and I had the BIGGEST "crush" on him. We ended up dating for a couple of months at the end of 9th grade year. Puppy love at it's finest! We lost contact after HS, and about 4 years ago, good thing for "social media". Charlie contacted me through FB. What do they say, "The rest is history".

As we got geared up to go out on a day hike.....I had no idea what the future was going to bring me on this special day. We headed out to the Greenbelt for some fresh air and nature gazing. While walking down there, of course there were quite a bit of people out on the trail. So, we took a right to go to our "secret spot", we felt that not many people know about. We stopped to rest for a minute, Charlie pulled out his GoPro to "play with" he says. In his defense, we were about to leave to Belize in two weeks. He propped it up around a tree to take short video's of me. Before I knew it, I look over and Charlie was knelt down on one knee holding this maroon box, asking me to "Marry him"! I said "YES"! To top it all off he filmed the whole proposal on his GoPro! Funny Fact: I had known since that May that Charlie had my engagement ring. This sweet soul wanted me to try it on to make sure it was the ring for me! He did PERFECT! (4 months of waiting) hahaha
