HOW WE MET

So glad we took the chance

We met through online dating. We talked a few times and we decided to give it a go! Our first date was an amazing time. We talked so much we didn't want it to end. Well it did. Then he blew me off on our second date! Luckily, Wayne had some sense and called me to apologize. Lucky for him, I decided to give him a second chance. We went for a second second date, and we've been together ever since! You hear the phrase: " When you meet the one, you'll just know." We don't know who said it and we don't care. We met each other, and we knew.

THE PROPOSAL

Simple and Sweet on Dec. 24th 2018

We were sitting in our living room opening our Christmas presents with the girls. Wayne says he got a gift for me, but it was too big to wrap. So, I have to wait in the hallway of our building so he can bring it out. So I wait in the hallway...in my ratty pajamas! I come back into an empty living room. My "present" is hidden in the tree. I cant find it. We play "Hot or Cold". I FINALLY find a heart-shaped ornament with the words: "Turn Around" written on it. So I turn, and there's my man bent down on one knee. I ugly cried for about 3 minutes and finally said YES!

For all the days along the way
