I had just got done at the gym after one of my long days at work. Jim talked me into meeting him for a late dinner. Gralin was there with him and I had heard so many things about him that I decided to come. Gralin somehow talked me into going to 7th street in my gym clothes. I was not really in the mood to do anything, but Gralin is very persuasive 😂. We definitely hit it off that night, so much so, that he climbed in the backseat of Jim’s car and kissed me. The rest is history!

We had a whole night planned for New Year’s Eve… dinner at Perry’s, Glass Cactus, and a night at The Gaylord. I knew that a proposal was coming, I just didn’t know when. I had a suspicion it might be that night. (I mean we were going to be dressed up and everything.) At dinner he “accidentally” showed me a screenshot of the ship date for my ring. It wasn’t going to be in for another week. My heart sunk. Definitely got rid of my suspicions then and there. We got checked in and he purposely started a dumb little argument just to throw me off a little further. We headed to the Glass Cactus and met a bartender named Ricky. When the clock struck midnight Ricky asked if we wanted a picture. Turns out he was recording and when I turned to face Gralin he was down on one knee. He had all of it planned out so beautifully and I still can’t believe how much he surprised me!
