We met how any young couple does in our generation...online. We knew our connection was something different than what either of us had had before. Blake waited for Else to come back from a two month vacation, and the rest was history.
We went to see Christmas lights in the Winterhaven neighborhood, I was on to him since he was acting a little suspicious. I had thought he would do it there in front of the big Christmas tree, but we left and I expected maybe it was just planned for a different day. We get home, and I drop to the couch and he leans down to give me a quick kiss, like he always does, but this time he went down to one knee. He asked, I cried, but of course said yes!! It was perfect and just for us!
