We met working together at Lowes, and I thought Bernie was a customer because he came by the register I was at and didn't have his work vest on. I greeted him as I normally would if I were helping a customer until he had told me "I work here" and we both just laughed about it because I was a new worker. We started hanging out from there and we just clicked.
It was my graduation from Fresno City College where I received my AA in dance, and my whole family came down from Oregon. After the graduation we went to Cheesecake Factory and as we were leaving Bernie had proposed by the water fountain outside.
