Who knew going to the same small grade school in Chicago would lead us to where we are now.

Patrick came to spend the weekend with me after my family and I moved out of Chicago. We went to the movies and the rest is history.

The week leading up to this day, Patrick had suggested that we cook a steak dinner. The morning of, Patrick went to the store to gather all the things for dinner. He came back with steak, baked potatoes, WINE, and chocolate cake. Dinner was AMAZING! After dinner, we cuddled on the couch and watched a comedy show on Netflix. Once it was over, Patrick suggested we have cake. I went to the bathroom as he got out the cake. I got out of the bathroom and Patrick was standing in the living with the cake on a plate and said he needed to talk to me. He turned the plate around and got on one knee and asked me to marry him. I immediately started crying and said "YES". Patrick had placed the ring box on the side of cake.
