We both met at work neither of us thinking a relationship would blossom. We ate lunch together any day we worked together and bonded over similar interest. After about a month Andy asked me on a date. We saw a movie and got dinner then sat and talked until almost 1 a.m. on a bench in Market Square. It only took Andy about 3 days to officially ask me to be his girlfriend to which I happily accepted.

Andy had planned a BIG trip to New York for my Christmas present (I had never been and was a dream destination). My birthday was in September and he surprised me (in his own Andy way) with telling me I was going to New York. A few days before the trip he found out he may not be able to go due to work, but assured me he had a back up person in case he couldn't go (I was not happy). The day before we are suppose to leave he tells me he can't go, the exact thing he didn't want to happen at work happened and now he has to stay ( I may or may not have had nice things to say about his job at that point..). Nevertheless he told my friend and she went with me. I was somewhat excited to be going to New York for the first time, but also sad he wouldn't be there. It was bitter sweet. We got there Friday morning and spent all day Friday and Saturday exploring. I found out Friday I was seeing Dear Evan Hansen on Broadway Saturday night. It helped cheer me up. After the show we decided to go to Times Square at the red steps, I wanted to see them lit up. While snapping pictures I turn around and there is Andy. Needless to say he proposed right there in Times Square with a bunch of people we don't know and our mutual friend cheering and taking pictures. It was one of the most amazing moments of my life and something I will never forget.
