We met in mid-January of 2017 at the Hockessin Athletic Club (HAC) through a mutual friend, Nick Terranova :-) We ran into each other in mid-February, at the gym, and he asked me out on a date. Our first date was on Friday, February 17, 2017!
Jasen is the Associate Head Coach for the University of Delaware's D1 Men's Ice Hockey team. About a week prior to the home opener game, Jasen told me about a fundraiser for the team that involved a raffle. He said that he purchased a few tickets and if I won, I'd have to go out onto the ice for an opportunity to score a goal for a gift card. I did not think anything of it, because of previous raffle fundraisers the team has had. I attended their home opener game that night with both of our families. Towards the end of the second period my name was announced that I was the winner and needed to respond down to the ice. When the period ended, a carpet was rolled out onto the ice and I was instructed to walk out in an attempt to score a goal. The team waited to watch me thoroughly embarrass myself as I missed the goal (it's a lot harder than it looks!). After I took the shot, I turned around to laugh about myself with Jasen, only to find him on one knee asking me to marry him!! He completely and utterly surprised me!! This was truly one of the happiest days of my life.
