Kevin and I both moved to Washington, D.C. after college graduation and made wonderful friends! In 2013, I was living in a house in the Columbia Heights neighborhood with 6 other people. My roommates and I were having a get together for one of my friend's (and roommate's) birthday. Two of my roommates, including the birthday girl greeted their coworker at the party and this coworker had a friend with him, Kevin! We clicked right away. The holidays were shortly after so we then began going on dates in early 2014, officially naming our anniversary as March 9th, 2014! The rest is history!

Kevin and I took a trip up to Hampton Bays, NY for Labor Day to spend a weekend with the family. With our unique work situations this year, we were able to go up to Long Island a little bit early since we could work remotely. We arrived on Wednesday night and Kevin had Thursday off. As I worked, I thought he was having a relaxing day, as it turns out, he was doing errands - preparing for the upcoming engagement that night!! When I finished work, Kevin ask if we wanted to enjoy a cocktail down at the little beach near the house. We made delicious negronis and began to stroll. After a few minutes, Kevin was down on one knee proposing!! I was so thrilled and surprised; right away I said yes and then we had an amazing weekend celebrating with our east coast family.
