I was working as a server at Pluckers and had recently been transferred to a new location. Dustin was still going through training and we met officially at the drink station in the kitchen on my first day- this was of course back when he was still "Jones" and I was "Vegas", but that didn't last long.
Our first real date was to Mount Bonnell, which is a really popular spot that overlooks the river. Dustin had everything planned out for a picnic- he brought a blanket, snacks, and wine, and we sat and talked for hours. This date was the one that made us stop and think "wow, this could really be something".
Dustin couldn't have picked a worse day to propose. That morning we had planned to go have dinner at my favorite restaurant, but low and behold my allergies had a different idea. I couldn't stop sneezing, my eyes were watering, I was absolutely miserable. I finally took a heavy dose of medicine and ended up taking about a 4 hour nap. When I woke up I was groggy and grumpy, but Dustin insisted on still going to dinner. We went out and had one of the worst restaurant experiences we have ever had to date, and that's saying a lot since we were servers. After dinner we took a detour to Mount Bonnell before we went home. When we got to the spot where we had our first date I turned around to find him down on one knee. I don't think I let him get a word in before I started crying and tackled him. Needless to say, an awful day turned into one of the best days of our lives. We're so excited to celebrate this new chapter in our lives with y'all.
