We’re getting married!

We were introduced to each other by a mutual friend at a local sports bar. The first time we met, there wasn’t much interaction between us. The next time I saw him, at a different bar, I had drank just enough liquid courage that I decided I wanted to know him, but not that much courage because I had a friend ask him some questions before I made my move. After finding out that he was divorced and had kids, I decided okay, lets do this. We exchanged numbers. However, it took Mike six weeks to finally get me on a date. I kept canceling and had a health issue at that time. Our first date was bowling, our first kiss was in the bowling alley! The rest is history, as we fall more and more in love with eachother every day and raise our kids together!

We were having my best friends and their kids over for dinner and then we were going to all go to the carnival together afterwards. Sami and Ashley told me I had to dress cute and do my hair and makeup. After we ate, Ash wanted to take pictures, she started out taking pictures of Mike and myself in our kitchen. I’m being my goofy self like always, making dumb faces and comments. I turned to Mike and he has a ring out and getting down on one knee, at this point I am so confused and caught off guard. Once he asks me to marry him, I then had the classic response for me being me, “no f**king way” because I didn’t believe this was happening. I was so surprised and beyond happy to tell him yes! Of course I’m gonna marry my best friend and the love of my life!
