Pablo and I met at our workplace, World Vision. My Supervisor, Diane at the time just got done interviewing him, and came up to me and said, "I just met your future Husband" I of course than asked, what's his name, what did he look like? I never saw him afterwards, it wasn't until a year later when we transitioned to a new area when I started noticing him. I would see him on my breaks walking by and would say hi from time to time. Than one day, a friend of mine, Felicia, was asking if I had been dating anyone or tried the online dating, I shared with her I was interested in someone on her team, shortly after that she told Pablo. He ended up asking me out and we had our first date at Little Mashel Falls on November 11, 2018. I haven't dated anyone in about 10 years, I was super nervous and hardly had anything to say. He was very sweet and kept the conversation flowing. I got us lost a couple times and even slipped and fell but we still had a good time. A couple months later on January 6th, he met my girls for the very first time, at Boomshaka, in Olympia. Kelsey had her guard up, Brooklynn however connected with him right away, she would ask him to watch her do this, follow her here and there. Over the course of time and after the girls got to know him, it was like he was meant to be apart of our family, he blended right in.
Fast forward to November 11, 2019, we celebrated our 1 year Anniversary, and went back to Little Mashel Falls, where we had our first date. We packed a picnic for lunch and it was beautiful sunny day, After lunch, we walked behind the falls to take pictures, as I was looking through the falls, Pablo was right behind me with the ring. As I turned around he asked If I would Marry him and spend the rest of my life with him, of course I said yes! Now we are getting married where it all started and can't wait to share our new adventure with you!
