Ryan and I planned a fun weekend in Chicago with our daughter Kaylyn. We planned to see the aquarium and the science museam etc. Saturday morning we made are way to Shedd aquarium and started through the exhibits. I of course love doing things like that, so I was already over rhe moon. When we reached the penguin exhibit my daughter said “hey mom, did you know that penguins are one of the only animals that mate for life” and responded yes I did ( not putting to much thought into the comment) and I continued to look around. Ryan chimes in and says “did you hear what she said” and I said yes and asked me to repeat what Kaylyn had said to me. He got down on one knee and asked if I would be his forever mate 😃😃!!!!! Of course I said YES. At some point I am pretty sure I just grabbed ahold of him because I was so excited before I actually said anything lol. It turns out that Kaylyn knew about this whole this a week before we left so she was in on the planning and took a video of the whole thing on her phone. Ryan and have been together along time and we finally decided to tie the knot. I was completly taken by surpise and couldn’t of seen this coming if it hit me over the head. I am even more surprised that an 11 year old could keep a secret for a whole week. Even though are relationship hasn’t taken the traditional course,I couldn’t ask for a better man to spend the rest of my life with. Through good times and bad Ryan has been my best friend and I can’t wait to go on this new journey together.
