Brett and I met on Match.com, And turned out we had mutual friends. So I of course asked my friend about him and what he thought of Brett. My friend had nothing but great things to say about Brett and told me " He could totally see us together". So I decided I would go on a date with him. We met at the" Rock" in Vancouver WA. And talked for a few hrs. I knew the first night I was going to be with him for the rest of my life, Brett not so much, he kept saying we need to date other people, I told him if that's what you need to do then go for It, I know you are the man I want, I don't need to date, I have dated enough toads to know when I see a good guy. We actually were able to date and see each other a few days a week. I really liked the fact that we didn't rush anything, really got to know each other, .One summer day end of July he told me he wanted to take that next step and be in a relationship with me. He also decided it was time to meet his sweet boy Austin. It was Labor day weekend and we had a blast, swimming an had gone to a BBQ with friends. We then talked abut him and Austin moving into my small home in Vancouver. And he wanted to think about it. In October as I was working in NYC, he decide to move in. We both had been through some hardship and struggles, we both were always saying when is it going to be our turn to not have to stress about money or have good things happen to us. Well in 2017 we both received promotions and were finally making a good wage. We started talking future plans, marriage, buying a house together. So in April 2017 we decided to put my house up on the market. and start shopping for a new home. We sold our home in July and then a few weeks later a house popped up that was not even on the market but they wanted to sell, so we were able to negotiate and buy their house. This house had everything we wanted and had been updated through out the whole house. We were very blessed. Finally some good happening in our life's.

So during this time Brett decides he wants to ask my parents if he can propose to me. and they gave him his blessing. I was on a work trip in AZ and he came out to see me.. After I finished work he wanted to take me to Sedona to see the beautiful rocks. I had no clue he was going to purpose to me. We spent the late afternoon looking around the town and then went to view the big rocks, this is where he got down on one knee and asked me to marry him. I melted and of course said yes, I was so happy. He said he wanted to be engaged moving into our new home and for me to know he wants to marry me. We had a busy few months after this so our wedding plans had been on hold until after January. We have now made plans for our wedding. We are going on a 7 day Western Caribbean cruise with our family and a few close friends, we are getting Married June 18th 2018 on the beach in Grand Cayman Island. We will then be having a reception once we get back home on July 13th. With all our family and friends. We are so blessed and life is good. together we have been through so much and in the end we have each other and that's all we need. Love is such a magical thing. Our motto has been this whole relationship if it's meant to be it will be.
