It was the fall. Their friends were dating and decided to set them up. They first met at a friend's football game and were immediately drawn to each other. They laughed and talked to each other comfortably, as if they had known each other for years. It got pretty chilly that night and he wrapped his arms around her to keep her warm. Romantic gestures go a long way with her, and she knew this guy was special.

It was Christmas morning. Eric set up the video camera and they enjoyed opening presents with their little Hunter. When all of the presents were opened, Eric pulled out a small wrapped gift and handed it to her. When she opened it, her heart leapt with joy as she saw the ring! He got down on one knee and told her that he wanted to spend the rest of his life with her, that they had a beautiful family together, and he had asked her father's permission. She said "of course, YES!" and the rest of the day was spent with family, sharing the news.
