We met through one of our mutual friends. That friend started inviting Eric over to chill with us. He would always come in, sit on the steps and barely say anything to us. We would ask him did he want anything, usually something to drink. He would always say "Nah, I'm good." Even though he would be sitting there for hours he would never accept anything from us and we knew he was thirsty. One day our mutual friend came up to me and said, "E said you cute!" and I was like "Awww". lol I really didn't think much of it. We ended up having a Halloween party soon after and Eric decided to come. He came near the end of the party and me being the great host that I am began to talk to him. We ended up talking the rest of the night, right in the dining room, and the rest is history!!!! We haven't gone a day without talking to each other since!
We had recently moved into a new house and we had planned a house warming to celebrate with all of our family and friends. Plus it was my birthday weekend and I felt that it was the perfect time to get everyone together. We had a big cookout in our backyard with our closest family and friends. After we finished eating Eric snuck up behind me and began to express his love for me. He got on one knee and proposed. One of the best days of my life. He knew how important it was to have our family and close friends there and he made it happen. The day before my birthday. BEST BIRTHDAY PRESENT EVER!!!!!!!!!!!!
