THE TIME HAS COME!

It was just a normal day, we had our first day of orientation. Marco had come in early and Deonna was just coming into the room. Marco describes the moment as something out of a movie, "when she walked in I swear it went in slow motion." Deonna was annoyed with Marco because of his Iwatch, he was only reading his text messages on his watch. Marco knew she was the one. Deonna knew he was the one who was not going to give up. Deonna had no clue Marco was trying out his best pick up line "may I have your number to think of some cake ideas" how that came to be was Deonna loves to bake and Marco knew he had to think of something swift to get her hooked. We believe baking and God brought us together that day. From that day on we have been the best of friends!

It was a normal day; Marco was off to work and Deonna was off to a doctors appointment (June 24th I was in a car accident). Marco called Deonna and told her that he was coming home for the day at lunch time because work was slow. He came home and they went to lunch at S.S. subshop (a favorite of theirs). Next they went to Starbucks for some coffee. Marco suggested a day trip to Leavenworth for some pre-birthday fun! They stopped at Smallwoods Harvest (per tradition) then headed to Leavenworth. Deonna wanted to take old time photos and get ice cream-of course. Marco told Deonna that he was going to take her to a special SECRET spot and had to blindfold her until they arrived. 15 minutes and a long walk later they arrived at the Tumwater Dam, the first date and where Marco asked Deonna to be his girlfriend. In front of our families, Marco got down on one knee and asked the best question of all “will you marry me?” Tears in all of our eyes, the answer was apparent. YES!!
