Andy suggested feeding ducks (it was at the very beginning of the pandemic so things were still pretty locked down) so we went to Memorial Park in Hendersonville. Andy wanted the ducks to be healthy so he brought snap peas. I brought oats. The ducks loved my oats and didn’t like Andy’s snap peas and he was embarrassed but I didn’t care. We haven’t gone one day without talking since then. (Special thanks to Cecilia (and Renee!) for being our mutual friend and Kinsey for advising Andy to bring me a Starbucks).
Andy proposed to me on the last day of my twenties. He wanted to take me to a park where we had one of our first dates, but I was staying at a hotel in Franklin for work and it got too dark for that because I decided to go to my apartment to see my dog Burt before I went back to the hotel (my parents had been helping with him). So, he surprised me and knelt down in my living room and proposed! He said a lot of sweet things, but I can’t remember all of them. We were both laughing, and I screamed and pointed at the ring in the box and said, “You’re holding it upside down!” (He was) and we laughed even more. Of course I said yes!
