When Two Become One!

Our story began in early 2013. In a hurry, I rushed into a convenience store to pay for gas only to be stuck in line thanks to some one holding up the line. I had left my daughter in the car thinking it was going to be a quick in and out. That didn't go as planned, and here I was waiting. He finally finishes up and leaves out the door and I finished my purchase and rushed back outside to find that very same guy pumping gas beside my car. He offered to pump my gas but I respectfully declined since I was slightly irritated for having to wait so long with my daughter in the car. He tried to lighten the mood and began to converse with me and of course made me smile with his obvious charm. He eventually asked me for my number and since I was single at the time I gave it to him. From that first night on the phone, I had an instant connection. I felt like I knew him forever. We officially became a couple on September 11, 2013.

Eric has always told me I was going to take his last name. To my surprise, I would have never pictured such a perfect and beautiful day! We planned a little beach get away, just the two of us to spend some much needed quality time together. On our last day, February 12, 2017, we decided to take one last walk to enjoy the view before we left. Half way from our hotel, Eric got down on one knee and asked me to be his wife. With a smile on my face, I said "yes!" We are very much excited and happy to start this new chapter of our lives. November 11, 2018, a new chapter will begin!
