To start I had no idea, I was clueless. We spent a wonderful day together getting breakfast downtown and then walking around the Lincoln Park Zoo, one of my favorite places. We stopped and sat beside the pond and Brenden started sharing how much he loved me and how happy he was. I of course, not getting the clues, began talking about mass duck migration and the birds we were watching. He had to skillfully, as he puts it, work his way out of that random topic (nice one Skyler). He then got down on one knee. There were tears and kisses and the rest is history.
