I flew to see levi in Texas where I met his family for a reunion at the Lake of the Ozarks. On july 4th we were sitting on the couch and I had asked him if we could do something. He responded that he wanted to go for a walk. It was a muggy july afternoon, so we did not make it far before we opted to turn around and watch the boats on the lake instead. We made it back to the house where he quickly went inside to grab us a water bottle and sneakily tell his family what he was doing. We walked down the stairs to the lake where there was a gazebo with a bench swing. We sat and watched the boats for a while and talked before he turned to me and said “I hope you can forgive me in case I say something wrong because this is my first time doing this, but I also hope it’s special for you.” And he got to his feet and reached in his pocket where he pulled out his wallet and said “here ya go!!” Then he dropped to one knee and pulled out the ring and said “Britta Lauren Gotberg will you marry me?” And I said “yes!!!” And I wrapped my arms around his neck and his family started cheering from the deck on the house.
