Since we all know that Kiersten has the best memory ever the following is 100% true. After months of terrible online dating, Kiersten took to Bumble in hopes of changing her luck. One late Friday night sitting on her couch, she saw the profile of this cute guy with the most adorable dogs (totally played the cute dog card!) and sent what I can only assume was the most witty first message that just made him realize she's the awesome-est. The next afternoon while at a friend's baby shower, plans to meet up solidified. With lots of bad first date experiences under her belt, Kiersten gave herself a firm date ending time because she had to go "pick up Kaycie from work" and needed to leave no later than 9. As memory serves, Kaycie was working but didn't need a ride. Although Kiersten almost took Danny out with her car as she swung into the parking lot, the date was amazing. They talked about all sorts of things as well as a truly Kiersten tangent about economics and whether the Keynesian or the Austrian economic model of spending best dealt with recessions. Pretty certain that's what sealed this deal! A true gentleman, Danny kept checking his watch to make sure Kiersten picked her sister up in time. As they left the bar it felt like a second date was definitely going to happen. Once more installed on her couch, Kiersten and Danny kept texting. Using the best weapon at his disposal (Riley), he tried to convince her to come over for a drink and sit on the porch to watch neighborhood drama unfold. In probably the one time that Riley has ever failed at anything, Kiersten refused but did agree to come over the next afternoon for a BBQ in the backyard. Minus her failure to convince Danny that baked beans was not an actual salad, date number two was even better than number one. Every day with Danny is a true blessing and I could not have found a better partner. It is a real blessing to have someone who is ALMOST my intellectual match, but we all can't be perfect, right?

I thought she was amazing and would have married her after date one. XOXOXOX

Danny proposed on a lovely hike through some trails around Whistler with Moose and Riley in tow. It is very possible that she almost forgot to say yes, but that's totally a rumor! Afterwards, the four of them headed to Araxi in Whistler Village for a toast of bubbles, then over to Dairy Queen for some celebratory blizzards. They finished the night off with an amazing bottle of Krug Champagne. Truly an amazing evening. We couldn't be any more excited to begin the next phase of our relationship and a life of blessings together. Now let's pop some bubbles and get to celebrating!
