We met through my brother as Jon and my brother have been friends since high school. I remember seeing him around FSW after he got back from the army. He moved to Gainesville when he transferred to UF and we didn't see each other again until going to animal kingdom together with my brother. We hit it off riding a water ride together and I shared my love of birds with him. Jon asked me on a date to P.F. Changs shortly after and we've been inseparable ever since. We now share a home together with three cats and a cockatiel.
Jon took me to the park we went to after our first date. I had a feeling a proposal was coming and I almost ruined it for myself! Earlier in the day I reached into one of his pockets for something and it turns out the ring was in the other pocket! We walked on a path by the lake in the park and he proposed in the middle of me bird watching. I burst into tears immediately after I said yes! Following the proposal we took a romantic week long trip to Savannah, Georgia.
