It's happening!

We met on OKCupid and we both swiped right.

After disappearing for about 3 months on OKCupid, Jesse asks Ren on a date. They go bouldering, Jesse was very confused as to why Ren was wearing super cute clothes to a bouldering gym. (Ren had a girls day before the date, no one says no to Boiling Crab and SJ hangs) She changed of course, but she struggled on a V0, a super chill V0. (I'm not athletic at all, and I am scared of falling, LOL - Ren) Then they went to eat at a pizza place, Ren ordered cheesy garlic bread (who orders stinky foods on their first date!) not knowing Jesse was lactose intolerant. Well, even after all of Ren's fails, Jesse walked her to her car (which got hit by a Prius when she was trying to park) and kissed her! And that's when it began.

We had gone to a random friendsgiving, and at this point we had been seeing each other for about 6 months. It was going great, but this was the first time Ren was meeting Jesse's friends. Jesse introduced her as "this is Ren....my friend." Ren, in her head, was like what? It wasn't a big deal, but she kept thinking about it all night. So, the next day, as she was getting ready to leave for work, she decided to say something. it went a little like this: Ren: you called me your friend. Jesse: I don't know, I didn't want to assume anything. Ren: ... Jesse: Well...Do you want to be by girlfriend? Ren: Do YOU want me to be your girlfriend? Jesse: Yeah... Ren: Okay then.... Jesse: Will you be my girlfriend? Ren: Yeah. Okay. See you later. (leaves for work) That was that. And here we are.

Let's be real, I've been waiting a long time. I was hoping he would propose in Japan the year before because we were in our favorite place to visit, and were spending our 5th anniversary there! My nails were super cute, but nope. Instead, in true Jesse fashion, he caught me off-guard, no cute outfit, or my nails done(bc of COVID, duh). He sprung it on me after my birthday BBQ, in my not-so-cute house clothes. I was playing with the dogs on the couch, he disappears for a bit, comes back with a box and kneels down. I was like duh, yeah, and started ugly crying. Ren
