Have you ever heard of the couple who found each other online? Well that is us! We first started communicating just before New Years of 2017. We didnt meet in person until January 2018. We had an evening planned of going to see Pitch Perfect 3 and dinner, your typical first date. However, the start times of the movies didn’t line up with our proposed schedule so we took a walk on the levy by the river in Lewiston to pass some time. After our movie we enjoyed a nice dinner. After our first time meeting, I drove the two hours to Lewiston twice a month on the weekends to see Timmy. We eventually introduced each other to the kids after months of dating and it has been a joy ever since!
It was February 17 and Timmy planned a surpised weekend getaway for our one year dating anniversary. As we got in his car, I had absolutely no idea what was to come. After about 15 minutes of driving, I guessed that we were going to Couer d’Alene. Since we couldnt check in to our room yet, we decided to venture off and go to Cabela’s, a 30 or so mile drive. On the way there, the car started making an aweful noise so we pulled into a rest stop to see if Timmy could problem solve the issue. He did not know so we kept on going with the obnoxious noise. I attributed the noise to driving so far. We made it to Cabelas and went in thinking the car would be better once we let it cool off. We spent around a hour looking around Cabelas, thinking the car would be cooled off by now. It was still cold there because it was February. As we started our journey back to the casino, the car did not make the noise..at first. We got alittle less then half way back and the car started making the noise to the point where it sounded like the fromt end was about to drop onto the highway. We ended up driving under 5 mph on the side of the road to a different road right off the highway where we could problem solve. We knew we wouldn’t be able to make it back. We sat there thinking about people we could call for help. We eventually decided to use my AAA membership to have the car towed back to Lewiston. We had the tow company drop us off at the Casino and my mom came to get us the next day. Once we were at the casino, we checked in, changed our clothes, and went to have a fancy dinner. When we sat down for dinner, Timmy held my hands, like he usually does when we are at dinner. I had a ring on both of my ring fingers so he took them off and “observed” them. He then got up, got down on one knee, and proposed. It was the sweetest thing I have ever experienced! We then shared the next day getting a couples massage and sharing our news with family amd friends!
