Let the Celebration Begin...

It all began from a swipe right. Small talk for about a week or two, then a first date at Chilis. Dominic was relieved Maggie was shorter than him. The date ended with a one-armed side hug.

In the years, we have spent together we each have grown. Maggie was active in school when we met and throughout the relationship has graduated with a Bachelor's and Master's in Clinical Social Work. On the other hand, Dominic followed one of his passions and enrolled in a commercial driver's education school. He completed the courses, passed the tests, and is now a CDL driver full-time.

We were on our first road trip to Tennessee to celebrate our fifth anniversary. We explored Pigeon Forge and Gatlinburg for a few days. The morning we started our journey back home, Dominic "finally" proposed in front of the Smokey Mountain National Park sign (before photo below).
