It’s finally happening!

We met at a 4th of July party in 2017. I was there for someone else at the time and once I laid eyes on him I knew I was there for the wrong person. A few weeks go by, I am at work and I get a text from a random number saying "Hey." I hit him with the "who is this?" and he told me "its Damon, from the party a few weeks ago." We went to dinner that same night, spent 2 hours in the parking lot after dinner talking and the rest is history.

We went to Maggianos for dinner and sat in the same booth we sat in on our very first date 3.5 years ago! Of course we did a little reminiscing of this wonderful life we are building. Afterwards, he decided that he needed to take the long way home and claimed it was the same amount of time… but really it was 15 minutes longer… We arrive home and he has me going to the front door instead of through the garage (mind you literally no one uses our front door not even us) and as Im walking up to the door I see shadows of candle flames and I immediately think “omg the house is on fire” and yes I said that out loud and Damon was like no Shelby it’s not as I open the door in a slight panic ready to go rescue my dogs and cat lol. I open the door to see candles everywhere making a path to our kitchen table. At the kitchen table there are roses, rose petals, champagne and a picture book. As I am looking through the book I am realizing what is about to happen *cue the tears* I get to the last page and it has a picture of my STUNNING ring and I turn around and there he is down on one knee asking me to marry him.
