It was July of 2018. I had just moved to back to Ohio to start graduate school. My best friend, Emily, drug me out of the house to the Adams County Fair with our friend, Cain. While walking around the ACF eating deep fried Oreos, we ran into Cains friend, Trevor. He added me on snapchat but not much went from there. A few months went by before Emily drug me out again to Butterbees to have dinner with Cain and Trevor. After dinner, I was the DD for everyone else to go to the bar. Emily and Trevor serenaded me with 'Sweet Caroline' and he asked if I wanted to hang out the following week. We went on our first date to Padrinos the next Friday and the rest is history.
On Saturday, June 20th, Trevor and I made plans to go to dinner with our friends, Morgan and Eric. I figured a proposal was coming soon but expected it to be closer to my birthday in a few weeks so I wasn't expecting it that night! In the middle of the pandemic, we had to have reservations for the restaurant but the earliest we could get was 7:45. Morgan said the babysitter was coming at 5:00 so her and Eric could see the land Trevor and I were buying. We had just gotten our clear to close that day! I still wasn't suspicious, I was really proud of us and wanted to show it off. Morgan and Eric showed up right after Trevor had gotten home. He claims now he couldn't come home until right before them because he was scared he'd spill the secret. He was so nervous, he couldn't even tell my mom and dad that afternoon. Trevor finished getting ready for dinner and we went to our land. When we got there, we walked around and talked about where we were planning to build our house and the barn, we talked the future. We were about to leave and I asked Morgan to take our picture before we left, I wanted to document the day we got our clear to close. Morgan faked taking a picture and I took a step toward her to look but Trevor grabbed my hand. When I turned around, he was on one knee and said "will you marry me?" I don't think I technically said yes but I couldn't stop crying and I put the ring on. The ring is everything I've ever dreamed of! He picked the diamond out all by himself. I spent the rest of the evening on cloud 9 just staring at my ring and thinking about planning our wedding. Now, the countdown is on to #MeetTheJimisons!
