Our story begins in 2020 when Jon moved in next door, completely by chance but undoubtedly meant to be. Our first meeting was simple—a friendly hello on the stairs outside our apartments. Little did we know that moment would be the start of something life changing. What brought us together? Our furry best friends. Jon’s dachshund, Woody, and my mini Australian shepherd, Kingston, had a knack for timing. Walk after walk, we’d run into each other, exchanging smiles and stories until one day, those separate walks turned into shared ones. What started as casual conversations became hours spent laughing, sharing dreams, and getting to know each other. Before long, we were inseparable. At first, we were just two neighbors turned best friends. But over time, our connection deepened, and friendship blossomed into love. Our bond grew stronger as we filled our days with adventures—traveling to breathtaking places like Sedona, the Grand Canyon, Hawaii, the Dominican Republic, and Mexico. One of our favorite activities has always been solving escape rooms. We love the thrill of the challenge, working together to crack the puzzles and uncover hidden treasures. So, when Jon decided to propose, he knew it had to be something unforgettable—and perfectly us. The day started beautifully. We stopped at a stunning winery, enjoying a romantic dinner surrounded by picturesque views. As the sun set, we headed to an escape room called 40 Thieves, a place that would soon become the backdrop for one of the most magical moments of our lives. The escape room was set in an enchanting Arabian market, complete with intricate decor and hidden clues. Our goal? To solve the puzzles and find the elusive jewel at the end. We worked as a team, unraveling mysteries and overcoming challenges, fully immersed in the adventure. Finally, after what felt like an epic quest, we discovered the jewel. But instead of just a game prop, it was something far more precious—an engagement ring. Jon got down on one knee, surrounded by the magical ambiance of the market scene, and asked me to be his forever teammate. Of course, I said yes! Now, we’re ready to embark on the greatest adventure of all: a lifetime together. We’re so excited to celebrate this next chapter with the people we love most. Thank you for being part of our journey!
