On our 4th anniversary, we spent the day together, doing things around Cleveland, like going to the Botanical Garden and having lunch at Bar Louie in Crocker Park. Eric remembered, while we were at lunch, that my favorite secluded Lake Erie beach was nearby and suggested we visit together. We walked along the beach, talking and enjoying ourselves. We hugged and he told me he had a question for me. He got down on one knee and pulled out the ring. I said "When did you have time to do that?!", followed very quickly by laughter and "YES!".
