It started with a dream! I went to where she worked a few times and we exchanged pleasantries. Then I had a dream about us dating each other. So I knew I had to ask her out. Next time we saw one another instead of telling her some corny pick up line, I went with being honest and I told her about the dream. Which almost labeled me a crazy weirdo but for some reason she must've thought I was cute cuz I got her number. The First Date was a week later and on the day before I left town for work. I lucked out on this one because who asks someone out right before they leave town?! She almost said no. The first date was a hit and we promise to stay in touch while I was away and we've talked to one another almost every day since.

She took me on a trip to Mexico for my birthday. Little did she know I had a plan, sort of. We arrived in Puerto Vallarta and were offered some perks if we attended a time share seminar. I chose Rhythm of the Nights, I thought this might be perfect. It was an entertaining boat ride to a secluded island. They put on a Native fire show with amazing choreography and forest theatrics. We then had dinner by the beach in a candle lit hut. As we ate our meal we could see out of the hut over the lagoon that was lit up from under water around the docks. That's when I made my move and dropped to one knee. Somehow I was able to get out the words on how she could make me the happiest man, as I showed her the ring I had been hiding. It was all low key but little to my knowledge everyone had seen what I was doing, and when she said yes the hut erupted in applause and congratulations. We spent the rest of the evening in a hammock on the beach waiting for the boat to return with a thunderstorm in the distance and magnificent clouds and lightning strikes, lighting up the lagoon.
