It was the Bengals first playoff win in 30 years and Stephen slipped into my DMs and said “Go Bengals… Joe B was on my fantasy team”! From there I sent him a video of me taking off my Bengals hoodie where I had a Bills shirt on underneath. We talked until 4am that day … and then every single night after that 😉😘.

He SHOCKED ME!! He came in town early for a wedding we were going to over the weekend ( March 18th). He planned for a month with my best friend and bridesmaid Kate- they drove around Eden park the day before he proposed and looked for the perfect spot- he chose by the lake under the bridge. Kate told me we were going to a wine tasting ( which she said she was dressing up for so I would too), then she acted like she made a wrong turn and pulled into the park to turn around then said oh look… there he was on the bridge with a single rose ( he knows I love the Bachelor). He took me to the spot where he had rose petals spread around with champagne and glasses too, then he proposed!! He wrote it all down so I could see it later too. It was amazing. Then we took a lot of pics and went to one of our first date spots for a drink!

I was teasing my friends that I was going to create a power point to convince Steve to move to Ohio… because that’s what I do a lot at work. Then my boss assigned us all to create a presentation to convince someone to do something and we had to present it to our team during our Face to Face meeting. My team loved it and always asks for updates … well I told them a few weeks ago that he was moving to OH-IO!!
