The beginning of our forever.

While he was working as an EMT on a 24 hour truck and she was working as an attendant at the local gas station, he often visited the gas station for fuel, meals, and the opportunity to just get out of the truck for a while. They would chat or play cards, and eventually he would order a "generous baby scoop" of ice cream and she would serve him a two scoop cup of Blue Moon ice cream for the price of a baby scoop.

Throughout the next couple of years, they became good friends. He had helped her through her EMT class. He gave her advice about a job interview when she applied at LifeCare and helped her gain the confidence to do so.After a few years of being good friends, they realized that they had eventually turned into best friends. During a difficult time in his life, she was there for him. She made him laugh and smile in a time when he needed it, and it did not take long to realize that they were meant for each other.

They had discussed the idea before and both knew that a ring was in the near future. With the hope of seeing what she did and did not like, he took her shopping, until... WOW! The moment she saw it her eyes lit up brighter than any diamond, and it was clear that this was the one. When she went for a drink, he quietly paid for and ordered the ring that day. Most proposals these days are grand gestures, but this one was more of a quiet night at home with a big result. A few days later, they were getting ready for bed and she had just come upstairs and saw him sitting on the bed. He had the biggest smile and asked her to sit down for a moment. He said "I know I don't have the ring yet but I couldn't wait to ask you. Will you marry me?" She giggled at the fact that he could't wait and said "Of Course."
