It’s finally happening!

It all started almost 9 years ago when Juan was just moving back to Hammond. We met at Starbucks. We talked for hours that day and it just felt right and I was so comfortable around him. The more we got to know each other the more I knew he was the one. Juan and I did everything backwards with living together in an apartment, to buying a house, to starting a family, and then getting married!

Now the proposal is a funny story and I felt bad for Juan! It all started in June 2018 during our trip to Texas for my grandma’s birthday. Juan was going to ask me while we were there but it just didn’t happen. We always had something going on. Since Texas didn’t work out he was going to try during our trip to Navy Pier but Selena was being a fussy little one towards the end and it didn’t happen again! We had a trip to Brookfield Zoo in July and he was planning on proposing again, but couldn’t find the right time. He also thought of doing it during a White Sox game or at Buckingham Fountain. None of those happened. THEN, on July 30th he came upstairs before I went to bed and gave me a box and asked me! Of course I said Yes! He told me all the stories of when he was planning on asking! Lol. That ring was everywhere before it went on my finger!
