We’re getting married!!!

Ryan and I met by chance or by fate or what I think of as God’s perfect plan! We were both enjoying life out on a Saturday night with friends. My girlfriend and I had gone to downtown Monterey for a drink, and while we were walking through Lalla’s, Ryan stopped me and offered to buy me a drink. I, of course, couldn't refuse and we ended up exchanging numbers and hanging out with each other and our friends the rest of the evening. A day or so later, he asked me out for a date but I was a busy single mom so I wasn’t too available. Eventually, I realized Ryan was very different from other guys I had met in the past so I decided I'd give him a chance. We clicked right away it was so fun and easy to be around him, we just had great chemistry and an unexplainable connection. When I was finally ready for Ryan to meet Renee that's when I really knew I was falling for him. He loved Renee and she fell in love with him! Soon our dates were with Ryan taking his girls out and about. It didn't take long for us to be inseparable we had fallen in love! The Proposal On a Sunday morning the two of us went down the coast to Big Sur to enjoy a hike. After a couple hours we reached the top of the mountain and we stopped to take a picture. Ryan asked me to go out and look over the water while he set the camera on a timer, as soon as he told me to turn around he was down on his knee with the ring. Tears in both our eyes, I said yes of course!!! It was truly a magical moment. The cloudy sky cleared up and it was the best beginning of the new chapter in our life! Our love is the greatest gift and continues to grow more and more! I look forward to what's to come next, as we become Husband and Wife!
